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!

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.
