Late late late night early morning editing.

I am obsessed with this location. It is absolutely gorgeous!

Got to see one of my favorite families ever today! Kimberly, Pat, Parker and Maeve are four of the most photogenic people I get to work with and I am so glad that each year they choose me. (Sal is pretty photogenic herself)! Thank you for the endless fun and the belly laughs too!

Finished these up tonight. I love you both so much!

It’s fall yall!! I’ll be taking mini sessions on a limited basis throughout this month!!!! Next month I will have a Christmas mini to close out 2024! Next year I will be back to normal!!! ❤️❤️❤️

04/20/2024

It is with the saddest news that I am announcing that for the year of 2024 I will be taking a step back from photography. I will still do sessions for my family and very limited outside of that. I will also still be holding one summer mini session (most likely 2 given flower timing etc) and I will still be offering two days of Christmas mini sessions. I have thought long and hard about this decision and God has been pointing me towards finding the purpose of why I began this in the first place. I’m reminded that I started this journey to be fun. And although last year had moments of joy, it was very stressful and took away from me being able to be more present for my kids. Photography is the first place I found meaning. It’s the place I felt brave even when others kicked me down. I don’t feel that anymore. I don’t feel myself running for the camera because I find myself anxious when thinking about it more these days. Again, this decision came very heavily and I didn’t even know where to begin to write. I love you guys. I’ll be seeing you. ♥️

With all sessions being sent out and me officially being on break for the reminder of the year, I thought now would be an appropriate time to explain changes, policies etc.

Firstly, I will be posting a link of a booking site and this will need to be used moving forward. Meaning I will no longer be booking through a private message. You will need to use the link (will be added 01/01/2024) at the top of the page. This link will allow you to seamlessly guide yourself through the booking and deposit section and avoid waiting on a response etc to book. There will be a cancellation policy listed out on the booking page that explains in detail the expectations once you book. Same day cancellations or no shows will not be entitled to a refund on the deposit portion.

Turn around time for mini sessions for 2024 will be one week. Turn around time for all other sessions will be two weeks. (In busy season this may fluctuate September-November). All photos will be sent in a link to an online gallery in which you may print download or view there. USB drives can be purchased for an additional fee. There will be an update in pricing which will be available as well on January 1st.

It is with a lot of thought and careful consideration that I have decided that I will no longer be offering weddings or newborn studio sessions for the year of 2024. I will still offer fresh 48 or in hospital sessions if they are booked. My reasons for why are that I am not 100 percent proficient with newborns in studio and you getting the best of the best is my top priority. As for weddings I just don’t feel that it is my niche and weddings cause me an immense amount of anxiety and no one should have to deal with anxiety for something there is a wide open market for. I know a ton of amazing photographers and I’m happy to refer any one who may be looking for one for the foreseeable future.

With those changes in mind I am still a very flexible and understanding person and will work with individuals if things need rescheduled etc. I’m excited about these changes as it provides me a lot of relief from the anxiety I was having. I can’t wait for the next chapter and am so grateful for the ones already written.

Thank you all. I appreciate you so much.

I’ll be updating you all with some upcoming changes in services I’ll be offering versus services I will no longer be offering. Taking the month of December off. I will not be available to take any sessions for December. I need to spend time with my family for the holidays and birthdays that we have this month. Thanks so much. Have a great holiday season with your families. ♥️

I just want to give a huge shout out to my neighbor! We moved to Milo 2 and a half years ago and Dave and his wife Diane have been the best neighbors I have ever had. Dave is always out helping anyone he can in the neighborhood and he helps me tremendously throughout the year whether it be mowing or snowblowing my driveway for me. I immediately felt safe with them as my neighbors and I just have to brag about them for a minute.

Thank you for everything. Thank you for making us feel welcome and we appreciate you so much!
