Iโm a little behind on sharing this sweet one-year session from earlier this week ๐ค Gianna was all smiles, full of joy, and always on the move. It was such a pleasure photographing her again.
Baby Vivianโs newborn session came after a longer-than-expected hospital stay, making this moment even sweeter. She was perfection in every way, and seeing her 17-month-old brother Forrest, whom I also photographed as a newborn, was a full-circle moment Iโll never take for granted. Iโm so honored to walk alongside families as their stories grow.
These are the moments that matter most. If youโve been meaning to document your growing family, consider this your sign ๐ค

Iโm beyond grateful for every single client this year; whether youโve been with me for years or we met for the very first time in 2025. Thank you for trusting me, welcoming me into your lives, and allowing me to tell your stories through my lens.
This year brought so many new families and so many familiar, favorite faces. Your bookings, referrals, kind words, engagement, and continued trust truly mean more to me than I can ever put into words. I wouldnโt be here without you, and Iโm endlessly thankful for each of you.
In 2025 I pushed myself and made moves outside of my comfort zone to be able to grow and provide my clients with my best. I also took on Senior portraits and loved every single one of them! I hope to continue that avenue in the future.
Iโm already so excited to see which families 2026 will bring and to create even more magic together. โจ
Mark those calendars for January 16thโBeach Minis, Mommy & Me, and Lavender Field Minis will be launching!
If youโre looking for 2026 portraits, reach out soon, the calendar for business and personal is filling up fast.
Grateful for everyone whoโs here. Humbled and thankful. Always. ๐ค
Matthew was the perfect little model for his newborn session this morning! Isnโt he just so adorable, my goodness! I loved working with him and his parents once again. Matthew is all ready for his first Christmas, too ๐ช๐
Adorable Everett is ready for his first Christmas โค๏ธโจ
This sweet boy came in and rocked his newborn session in a breeze. I absolutely enjoyed every minute with him, his momma & his Mimi this morning.
In the hush of the nursery, magic lives in every breath ๐ค๐ค
Babyโs first days at home are delicate and precious, a gentle reminder of lifeโs sweetest beginnings. Capturing this for his family is humbling and beautiful.
Hello, sweet Matthew โจ
This Christmas season truly took my breath away ๐ค
65 sessions filled with laughter, wonder, and so much joy. Without a doubt, the best year yet. Every child brought their own magic, curiosity, and sweetness, making each session feel special in its own way.
The kids were incredible, the Santa experience was warm and genuine, and the scenes were thoughtfully created to feel timeless and cozy. The kind of setting where real Christmas memories live. From quiet moments to big smiles, it was such an honor to capture it all.
To every family who trusted me with these memories, thank you. Iโm ending this season beyond grateful and already holding onto the magic we created together ๐๐ค
Today I had the sweetest family of four in the studio, welcoming their newest baby girl, Bella. She had big opinions about swaddling and took her time drifting off, but we still captured the most precious moments. Big sis Malu absolutely melted my heart with how loving and patient she was. I had such a wonderful time chatting and hanging out with this beautiful family. ๐

These two are so easygoing and fun to hang out with. You can just feel how excited they are to welcome their sweet little one (boy or girl?) soon!
So grateful I got to capture this special time for them before their next big adventure begins.
