Whoah this is a blast! This season of my career feels like such a dream. After 21 years behind the camera, I finally have a cozy little studio where I get to create the most timeless, heartwarming portraits for families like yours.
49 moments. 6 months. Capturing the Fine Art of your Legacy.
Here is the best of Heirloom Portraits from 2024—a collection of sweet faces, and cherished pets I’ve had the honor of photographing in my intimate studio. Black-and-white, fine-art portraits printed on archival paper—the kind of photos your grandkids will one day hold and say, “Wow… look at them.”
If you’ve ever thought about getting one of these portraits done, now is the time!
Upcoming Heirloom Studio Dates:
- Friday, Feb 14 (Valentine’s Day—what better way to celebrate love?)
- Thursday, Feb 20
- Saturday, March 8
- Wednesday, March 26
- Friday, April 12 & Saturday, April 13
And yes—bring the kids, grandparents, or even pets.
Recognize a face? Tag your friends and family.
If this is speaking to you, DM me or grab your session now! (Link in bio)
✅ Sessions for each date are limited, so book early.
✅ Looking for a different date? Let’s chat and see what’s possible!
I can’t wait to capture something truly timeless for you.

As the wedding comes to an end and all the guests file out for the grand finale — the grand send off. The lights dim, the room clears, and for one fleeting moment, it’s just them, swaying together in the stillness. It’s a meaningful pause amidst the whirlwind of celebration—a chance to reflect on the promises made and soak in the love before stepping into their new chapter as partners. 🤍
This is one of those new trends that I hope sticks because I LOVE the sentiment behind it—an intimate, emotional last dance shared between the bride and groom as the end one of the best days of their lives!
I was blessed to photograph this beautiful tradition for Kate and Tyler during their private last dance to “Forever You and Me” by The Teskey Brothers. It was a moment of pure magic before their sparkler exit and the perfect close to their wedding celebration.🎉

Monkey Minds Fling Poo!
Let's talk about our monkey minds! 🐒 Instead of pushing them away, let's acknowledge them. They're like the performers in our own mental circus, trying to keep us stagnant, even when we're itching to expand and grow.
I've had times where I have said to my monkeys, "Hold up. I'm putting you in my back pocket. You're not allowed to have a conversation here!" What's the biggest fear or doubt your mental circus performers have been flinging lately?
