There’s something so special about capturing the bond between siblings, especially when one of them is experiencing becoming a big brother for the first time.
Reid’s nursery is decorated with a western theme, making it all the more fun to incorporate those details into his session. I love pulling inspiration from my littlest models’ nurseries, ensuring that their portraits will fit perfectly into their space. Now, this family has the perfect decor featuring their newest addition—a little cowboy in the making!
One of my favorite details from Reid’s session was the deep teal we incorporated. It added such a rich, feel to his images. This shade has officially been added to my list of favorites—I can’t wait to use it in more sessions!

Not long ago, we were capturing this sweet mama’s maternity session. Now, I’m so excited to share that he’s here! Nehemiah Shalom made his grand entrance weighing 8 lbs 6 oz and measuring 20 inches long.
His name carries such a powerful and beautiful meaning—“God’s Comfort and Peace.”Nehemiah is a double rainbow baby, a wonderful blessing after loss. His mama experienced two miscarriages between her youngest daughter and him.. He is a symbol of hope, healing, and the strength of his family.
For his newborn session, we made sure to incorporate things that reflect his family’s story. Since we had the deer sighting during the maternity session, we knew we had to include deer antlers in his shoot! We also included a baby's first golf set (a nod to dad’s favorite sport), sweet sibling poses with his proud big sisters, and of course, simple, timeless neutral shots of just baby.
It has been such an honor to document this family’s journey. Seeing them welcome their first little boy has been so special, and I can’t wait to watch Nehemiah grow!
One of the most rewarding parts of being a photographer is getting to watch families grow over the years. This family has been with me since their oldest was just one year old. Most recently, I had the privilege of capturing their newest addition—a beautiful baby boy! They were team green throughout the pregnancy, choosing to wait until birth to find out the gender. The excitement and anticipation leading up to his arrival made this moment even more special. Thank you for allowing me to be a part of your story. I can’t wait to continue capturing the beautiful moments ahead for your family! 💛
Kylie came to visit me in the studio, and I couldn’t have asked for a more perfect little model! At just 6lbs 12oz, she was so tiny and reminded me so much of my youngest, who was the same size.
One of the highlights of this session was incorporating a special touch—a bow that I made myself! Bows are all the rage right now, and I’ve been excited to add some handmade pieces to my collection of props. I am so glad I got to bring my vision to life with this perfect model.
I always strive to make each session unique and personal, whether it’s through custom props, colors, or themes that reflect my clients’ preferences. Kylie’s session was no exception.
Kylie’s mom shared with me that she had been turned away by other photographers because they said Kylie was “too old” for a newborn session. That breaks my heart because I believe every baby deserves to have these precious moments captured, no matter their age. I never put an age limit on my newborn sessions—older babies can do just as well, and sometimes even better, than those in the 2 week range. Kylie was proof of that as she rocked her session like a pro!
Newborn sessions like these remind me why I love what I do—capturing these fleeting moments for families to cherish forever. Thank you, Kylie’s family, for trusting me with your precious little one! When it comes to capturing life’s special moments, birthdays are at the top of the list. Every year deserves to be celebrated, whether it’s a big milestone or just another year of growth, love, and laughter. Recently, I had the privilege of photographing Jackie as she celebrated her 36th birthday. This wasn’t her first session with me, though—she also booked her 30th birthday session. For this session, we worked in a studio with a chic warehouse vibe. The natural light streaming in through large windows, combined with industrial touches, created the perfect backdrop. If you’ve ever considered booking a birthday photo session, now’s the time. Your birthday is a celebration of you, and there’s no better way to celebrate than with photos you’ll cherish forever. Whether it’s a studio session, an outdoors, or even a themed shoot, we’ll create something uniquely yours. And for those of you wondering, yes—I’m already planning to use this studio again in the future!
Here’s to celebrating every trip around the sun, no matter your age. Because every year is worth remembering. Sometimes, all the stars align to give us the perfect evening for a photoshoot, and this session was no exception. With the weather being so unpredictable lately, it was such a relief to finally have a beautiful evening to capture this maternity session. I’ve had the honor of photographing all of her maternity and newborn sessions. Watching this family grow over the years has been so much fun. From the arrival of her first baby to now, as she prepares to welcome her fourth little one — and her first boy after three girls. This session came with a surprise guest! As I was planning the next pose, a deer wandered out of the woods. I quickly positioned mom and dad to include the deer in the background, and it worked perfectly. It felt like it was meant to be. I can’t help but feel like it’s a sign — we have to incorporate something deer-related into their newborn session! I can’t wait to meet your baby boy. I know you will have lots of helpful hand eager to hold their new brother. If you’re considering a maternity session, I’d love to help you celebrate this beautiful season of life. Whether it’s in my studio or an outdoor evening like this one, let’s create timeless memories together.
When Makayla’s mom reached out with inspiration photos for her daughter’s Sweet 16 session, I was excited—and ready to take on a new challenge. This was my first time doing a studio spotlight session, but after researching, practicing, and carefully planning every detail, we created something truly stunning!
Makayla’s session was all about bold elegance. Under the glow of dramatic studio lighting, she absolutely nailed it, from her wardrobe to her confident poses. We even incorporated a cake as a prop. Fun fact: the real cake was so heavy that Makayla got quite the arm workout holding it! Next time, we’ll definitely opt for a mock cake.
I couldn’t be happier with how it turned out. Makayla, thank you for trusting me to bring your vision to life. If you’re celebrating a milestone, let’s create something unforgettable together.
Kicking off the new year with my first newborn session of 2025, and what a perfect way to start! Sweet Hudson was an absolute dream, sleeping peacefully through his entire session. He didn’t make a sound as we carefully transitioned him from pose to pose and incorporated a variety of props. Hudson’s mom and dad couldn’t have been prouder of their little (or should I say, big) guy! Born at 8 lbs 10 oz at just 37 weeks, Hudson was already tipping the scales closer to 9 lbs by the time of his session. He’s a strong and healthy baby, and you can see the joy and love radiating from his parents. One of my favorite things about newborn sessions is when families bring in personal items to make the experience unique and meaningful. Hudson’s dad brought along a set of antlers, a special piece that added a rustic touch to the photos. We even included his dad’s hat, which Hudson will no doubt grow into sooner than anyone can imagine. Thank you to Hudson’s family for trusting me to document this milestone! I can’t wait to see this little guy grow.
