The Blog
Let's get in touch
This is where stories turn into images—and images turn into something you can feel every time you walk past them on your wall. Each session I photograph is built around connection: the quiet in-between moments, the big laughter, the way your family or your pet simply is in this season of life. My goal isn’t perfection—it’s honesty, emotion, and art that feels like you.
Here on the blog, you’ll find a closer look behind the sessions, the people (and pets) I get to work with, and the moments that don’t always make it into a gallery but absolutely deserve to be remembered. Think of it as a collection of stories—real, personal, and beautifully ordinary in the best way.

Welcome
Some babies arrive with a calm, peaceful presence, and sweet little Eiza was one of them. She settled right into her session, snoozing through so much of it while looking absolutely precious in her tiny lavender outfit. That little bunny almost looked like it had found its new best friend. This session was especially meaningful […]

A first birthday session is always a little unpredictable, and that’s exactly what makes them so much fun. One-year-olds have their own plans, their own schedules, and absolutely no interest in following a photographer’s agenda. Mikie J was no exception—and honestly, I wouldn’t have wanted it any other way. This sweet family joined me for […]

There’s something extra special about watching families grow — especially when you’ve photographed them before. I first met Kendall and Josh when their new daughter Renna was just a baby. Fast-forward two years, and this sweet (and hilariously spirited!) girl is now a proud big sister to baby Reid. – The first time big sister […]

There’s something truly special about being invited back into a family’s life again and again to capture their milestones. When Jade and Lucas reached out to me to photograph their newest little love, Stella, it felt like catching up with old friends. I’ve had the joy of photographing their older two, Shivaun and Finley, before […]

Welcome to the World, Baby Grayson! You are so Loved! This sweet baby boy came to see us with his whole Fun Family ( see above)! <3 He is just perfection. Wouldn’t you agree? Now-big-sister, Evelyn is just so so smitten with her baby brother. She was over the moon excited to hold him and cuddle […]

Sweet Elizabeth, I literally couldn’t wait for you to arrive! I have been photographing the Stephens Family for almost a decade now ( which is quite crazy to even say) and I was just so very excited to welcome their newest addition to the studio. Isn’t she just adorable? Of course, we included now big […]

Hello Everyone, Cooper is here! Yes, Baby Cooper is definitely here and he is so so very loved! Just look at him having fun with his big sister! I can tell that these two are already Best Friends Forever… … and can we just talk about the little doll that little Charlotte is?! She is […]

It not too hard to tell that these sweet brothers are best friends forever already, right? 😉 I had the pleasure to welcome Celeo and Alexander to the studio together when the little boy was already a little ‘older’ than just days old but I think it is actually for the better. Little ‘Zandy’ was […]
