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
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 […]

Some sessions just sparkle from the very beginning, and Cosette’s was one of those. The moment she walked into the studio with her mom, Staci, she was ready to show off her sweet personality—and oh boy, did she deliver! Cosette is at that magical age where every step feels like an adventure and every expression […]

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 […]

Welcome to the World, Baby Dutton! You can literally feel the love in the air ( and when looking at his images) surrounding this adorable baby boy. Even his pups are on guard to protect him at all times. 🙂 Roxie and Jazmynn were such good sports throughout the whole session. You can tell they […]

Let me tell you… these guys understood the assignment when I said ‘the crazier the better’, right??! Seriously, this Family is just so energetic, lively and fun. Mom ( Tara) already told me all about their little personalities at our consultation and sure enough, I got to witness all of their unique qualities at our […]

What better than one baby girl, you ask? TWO!!! 😉 It is my absolute pleasure to introduce to You: Leah and Freya! Two perfect and adorable, yet quite different little twin baby girls! <3 <3 There is always something absolutely magical about twins visiting us at the studio, but this time we topped it all […]

… and then there were THREE. I am so proud to show you all the gorgeous imagery we created for the third Emerson Baby, little Leo. I have had the honor to photograph the first two kiddos as well and it’s so super fun to continue their ‘timeline’ and yet creating something new for this […]

Come and check out the images from this fun filled session with the Martin Family! Gorgeous Mamma, Shayla, reached out to me in search for Maternity Photos and as our conversation unfolded and she shared her story with me, it turned out that because of medical reasons they missed out on pregnancy and newborn images […]

These two siblings ( and now BFF’s) were already bonding the studio when Athena was only a couple of weeks old. To be honest , they probably became besties the second the little girl was born. <3 I just can’t get enough of what an amazing and proud big brother Micah is. Look at him […]
