Ask my friends and they will tell you how annoying I am with my camera :) I love how a camera can capture moments that become memories and can essentially freeze them in time. I believe that there is a huge different between taking pictures and creating art. My photography is a little quirky and colorful but ultimately captures the subjects personality entirely. Email me ([email protected]

m) for more information-I'd LOVE to take your picture :)

Photos that feel like a movie 😍 also, I loved when I had them do this first pose and she said “so we have at home” and we all died laughing.

You can’t tell me you can’t feel these photos. It was a windy December day, the sun had just dipped below the hill making it even colder, and we were playing around like we were main characters in a RomCom (we? I mean “they” lol).

The key to variety in a gallery is MOVE. YOUR. FEET. You and the clients! I shot all these on a 35mm lens and all within like 15 min. I always know when I got the shot though and I move my feet. Yes I overshoot, but it’s not the same pose 14 times, it’s the same pose 14 different ways and IM SORRY IM NOT SORRY.

Whether I’m taking photos of a family or a couple, I always encourage play. I have you look at the camera at least a few times during the session but I mostly just want to romanticize your life for you by capturing the moment and not just the basic “look at the camera” photo.

As for me and my camera, we’ll be capturing allllll the details ✨

You don’t realize when you book your session that I’ll be paying attention to the little things, too. Not just for the newborn, but for their siblings too. The way they have a 7 min time frame to take the one smiling family photo, the way they are beholden to a snack bribe, the way they want to run away, but most of all, the adorable way they interact with this new little creature that just took their place as the baby.

Every session holds a special place in my heart. I will never get over that I get to be the one to freeze these moments in time for people. It’s a job I don’t take lightly and I will always hold in a high regard.

Thank you for letting me into your lives, whether it’s in your home for a newborn session, on your boat for a family session, in your office for a branding session, or at an arcade for a couples session, I’m HERE for it!

Let’s give it up for the older kids at photoshoots! I have a LOT of little kids in front of my camera but i love me a pre-teen/tween/teen. They start off the session acting like they don’t want to be there and they end the session with silly photos and smiles.

I have done so many holiday photos this November, 31 families to be exact, and each session has me smiling while editing. Whether it’s because I am taken back to a funny moment during the session or because the silliest photos actually turn out to be the cutest photos a majority of time 😆

I’m almost done with my sessions, I have 6 galleries left to wrap and one more wedding! I have a handful of sessions on the calendar and then I’m taking a break to enjoy the holidays with my family and not just my laptop.

Funny story, Willa asked me today “mom I have a zebra stuffed animal because I love them, should we get you a computer stuffed animal because you love your computer” 👀🫣🙃

Everywhere is my office right now 🫠

Being a working parent is not for the weak. Add in running your own business because you wanted the flexibility, but didn’t realize that flexibility would become your middle name.

This week, my busiest week of the year, my kindergartners have half days at school, and my preschooler has no school this week or next week (lol which I just found out this morning when I tried to out him on the bus. The life of a type C mom 🫠😆)

Anywayyyy, grateful to be busy and thankful people support my business so I can make a living for my family 🤍

Ps this is why I work on a laptop now and not a desktop anymore. Love my MacBook so much and sometimes I also want to throw it out the window lol

Check on your photographer friends. Weddings, family sessions, events, branding, plus personal lives and trying to take care of themselves 👀

Photographer friends, how yall doin?

Based on real life events of my morning, it’s just me and now.

In all seriousness, you’re allowed to book other photographers and writing a nice email like this to let me know is absolutely loved and welcome and softens the blow. 😆 just know I might wallow in self pity and question my career choices for 7-10 business days.

10/23/2025

I love this for me 😆 the gift bag even includes some snackies. My favorite part is they stuck eyeballs on the bedroom birds. Do you agree with me that those are peacocks?

Can’t wait to capture Sam + Andrews big day tomorrow 🫶🏼 it’s an honor to be here for these special milestones!

The lyrics of this song are 💯🙌🏼✨🔥

As a mom and entrepreneur, this season of life has been challenging, and as I navigate the rollercoaster, I am so glad to have community to lean on. We are different than your typical entrepreneur and different than SAHMs, and I wanted to find community so I built it and created my own community group called in March of 2024, originally designed to help Moms who own businesses find connections and a community while raising babies and growing their business but it has turned into so much more than that. It’s a sisterhood of women who just GET IT. They know that being a mom is a full time job, they know that business may or may not be the forefront of our priorities right now because we are in the middle of raising kids, they know that PTA might be more important than KPIs and they support and encourage you through it. Last night we had our second annual headshot event and WOWWWW the photography team killed it. Thanks to (who shot the photos), , (who edited the photos) & .photo for BTS

I am constantly in a state of limbo right now, torn between spending time with my kids (while thinking about work) or working and thinking “I should be with my kids”. It’s something I was NEVER prepared for and I don’t know that I could have ever prepared for.

I’m a hard worker, I LOVE working, I GET to work and make a life for my family, but the constant pull of wondering whether I am being a good mother and a good entrepreneur can be exhausting.

I know pressure is a privilege. I know that parenting is a privilege, I know that owning a business and making my schedule is a privilege, I know all of this and still, this season is one I couldn’t have prepared for.

I thought about deleting all of that and writing “felt cute might delete later” but instead shared the real side of this season so I hope that’s ok too 😆

lol @ the last one that I’ve dubbed my “I’m a professional” face.u

My job as a wedding photographer is to document to day as it happens, but also to help set up expectations during our timeline call.

Here are 3 things I make sure we include in your timeline:

🤍 Scheduled down time after photos and before the ceremony to relax: I always TRY to end photos 30-45 min before the ceremony so you can be hidden as guests arrive, relax, get H&MU touch-ups and a snack. This buffer also allows for us to adjust photos if things run long in the morning before photos begin.
🤍 Family photo combinations: this helps ensure everyone who needs to be in family photos is there, sets a plan for navigating family dynamics, and helps make sure we don’t accidentally forget someone in photos. It’s not always perfect but having it written down helps us double check the list and get any photos we may have forgotten at the end of the day.
🤍 Scheduled sunset photo time: I always set loose time aside IN the timeline so everyone knows the plan and then we adjust based on the actual sunlight situation. Sunset times vary based on the venue, weather, time of year, if it’s in the mountains or on the beach etc. I’ve never heard anyone say “I regret taking sunset photos”.

Yesterday’s wedding was a perfect example of why I schedule these things in. H&MU was running behind and we started photos 30 min later than originally scheduled. I cut us short on bride & groom portraits because I knew we’d get more time for sunset, then I was really efficient with wedding party photos and family photos, and we ended up being only 15 min behind “schedule” and perfectly on time for the ceremony.

We had scheduled sunset photos for 6:30 after toasts with a 7:10 sunset but I pushed it up 20 min when I saw the light coming through the trees at the entrance and we did sunset photos before toasts, setting us up perfectly to run through toasts, cake, first dances then dancing on an earlier timeline than expected.

These things are important and why photographers charge what they charge. They have to do more than take pretty photos. They have to understand time management, anticipate moments, be creative, be friendly, & navigate whatever happens during a wedding day 🫶🏼

Late night editing calls for a quick late night post 🫶🏼 I’ve been using two editing styles lately and it’s been filling my creative soul. Sometimes a more true to color edit feels right and sometimes a filmy nostalgic edit feels right. Instead to be consistent in my work but sometimes consistency feels boring and soul sucking tbh (any other creatives feel this?) but at the same time I also really like consistency so I get torn.

Anywayyyyyy late night ramblings on a stunning photo 😍

Family photos don’t always have to be standing in a field, they can happen anywhere you want, like, an ice cream shop 👀 you don’t have to stand and say “cheeeeeeese” for 20 min straight, you can play checkers and eat ice cream. Which one sounds more fun?

I’ll definitely be sharing more from this session soon! Got a few other cutie families in the queue 😍

Instead of looking into the camera for every photo, why don’t you interact and actually *see* each other.

Instead of chasing your toddler for “one good picture perfect photo”, you chase them, pick them up and spin them around for the perfect photo of their crooked smile.

Instead of fighting with your spouse on the way to family photos like one does annually (guilty) take the pressure off by letting go of control. Let them pick their shirt then guide them to make the *right decision* if needed.

Instead of dropping $300+ on new outfits for the whole family, shop your closet first then buy clothes to compliment. (And spend that additional $300 on a longer session with your photographer, these photos will outlast the clothes).

Instead of saying “no, don’t climb that”, “no don’t run in those”, or “please just get over here or no ipad” we say “great idea, let’s go that way!”, “where should we take the next set of photos, here or over there?” Or “are you ready to play in the water with mommy??”

Instead of choosing the 10 min session because you don’t think your kids can handle a longer session, give them the benefit of the doubt and have a date day with them (and invite me to capture it of course).

Most importantly: be present.

Don’t worry about how your photos will look. Don’t worry about how YOU will look. Don’t worry about your spouse, the clothes, the location, the props, the weather…just worry that these moments are fleeting and you’ll NEVER get them back. The kids will be a year older next time we take these, they’ll have more adult teeth and their chubby cheeks will start to go away. They’ll start to say words properly and no longer reach for your hand to help them walk on the logs.

This is why I do what I do 🫶🏼
