Please read for important booking info ⬇️

I wanted to share booking information for anybody who is thinking of getting photos done with me in the near future so that we can schedule you appropriately! Currently my turn around is 2.5 weeks and does not include weekends/holidays! We are entering into busy season & starting in August, turn around times will be strictly enforced unless a rush fee has been spoken about during your session. I will be placing a limit on the amount of rush sessions I am able to take on to ensure that I am staying on schedule. I know (I promise I know) that the wait is painful, but while you’re in your waiting period someone else’s due date is coming up. Jumping around in my editing schedule gets me very behind and honestly becomes hard to juggle. Thank you so much for understanding, and I can’t wait to capture this year’s Fall & Christmas memories for your sweet families♥️

On happier note, I am currently planning Santa Photos & mini info will be posted within the next two weeks! It’s hard to believe we’re already here, but it’ll be Christmas before we know it!

This weekend is the first in MONTHS that doesn’t include a Newborn & I can’t even lie and say I’m not a little sad! These sweet sessions have easily become a favorite. I just can’t enough of all these fresh babies being born🎀

Hey👋🏼
I’m still here! It’s been quiet over here because I have been busier than ever this Spring! But, what better way to come back than with a few shots from this precious session!

One of my favorite little families is growing & I was invited for a front row seat again🤍 Just a few short days until Baby C makes her arrival & I can’t wait!

This week I lost one of my faithful mini clients & I haven’t been able to get him off my mind since the news. He was always down for a photo shoot & had the best style ever! Rest in Peace Gilbert, you’ll be missed🕊️

My nap time editing session today was too sweet not to share🤍

Just a friendly reminder that my current turn around time is 2.5-3 weeks, and this doesn’t include weekend days. I know it’s SO hard to wait to see your gallery, but most good things take time and your family photos are definitely one of them! Life has been extremely busy over here, but I promise y’all are one of my top priorities always and I won’t leave you hangin’ for too long!

04/05/2024

Just a few from the sweetest milestone session I think I’ve ever done! It’s so sad to think that within a few months these baby chunks will be replaced with new little features for you to fall in love with. As a Mama myself, I can confidently say that you will never regret having images from that first year of life to look back on when your little ones are grown. It happens so fast, book the session🤍

“I'm not the photographer for you....

If you are looking for manicured, professional business attire, red carpet ready kinda person... well then I'm not the photographer for you.

But if you are looking for real...
for raw...
for "this is my person"...
for connection...

If you are looking for someone relatable, likeable, and down-to-Earth...

then, YES, I'm the photographer for you.

Over here you aren't going to find a commercial storefront with manicured front windows, a welcome sign, and my business name in LED lights. You won't find a "no soliciting" or a "two-hour parking" sign.

…You're likely to have to dodge outside toys when you park. And you'll find a scatter-brained, down-to-Earth, love you like your family, photographer who will run out to your car with an umbrella if it's raining.

I'm not over here, putting on a front so I can market to money.

I'm a mom, putting food on the table for her family. I'm marketing to other moms. To moms who value these memories of and with their babies. To moms who are running around, forgetting their keys, and who aren't sure what day of the week it is. Those are my people.

So if you want real connections, and quality images you can cherish for the rest of your life... Well, in that case, I guess I am the photographer for you.

I'm glad you've found me. I hope you stick around for a while.”
