🌲Christmas Tree & 🎅Santa Experience Sessions are coming soon! ⁠
⁠
These short and sweet sessions are happening in early November and give kids time to play and explore the Christmas tree farm or soak up all the magic with Santa. ⁠
⁠
You’ll have your images back in plenty of time for holiday cards and sharing throughout the season.⁠
⁠
Comment with a 🌲 or 🎅 for a reminder when they go live next week!

If we haven’t met yet, here’s the heart behind the stories I get to tell and I’d love to help you see just how sweet and special your own moments together really are. 🥰

𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗱 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗯𝗮𝗯𝘆 𝘄𝗼𝗻’𝘁 “𝗰𝗼𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲” 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗽𝗵𝗼𝘁𝗼𝘀? ⁠
⁠
Here’s why that’s totally 𝘰𝘬𝘢𝘺 in my studio.⁠
⁠
Newborns are unpredictable and that’s exactly what I 𝘦𝘹𝘱𝘦𝘤𝘵.⁠
⁠
Whether baby needs...⁠
⁠
extra feeding breaks, ⁠
a lot of rocking, ⁠
or simply doesn’t want to be put down, ⁠
⁠
𝗶𝘁’𝘀 𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝘄𝗲𝗹𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲. ⁠
⁠
This space was 𝘥𝘦𝘴𝘪𝘨𝘯𝘦𝘥 for ⁠
babies and parents to ⁠
𝘧𝘦𝘦𝘭 𝘤𝘢𝘭𝘮 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘶𝘯𝘩𝘶𝘳𝘳𝘪𝘦𝘥.⁠
⁠
There’s no pressure to “perform.” ⁠
⁠
We 𝘵𝘢𝘬𝘦 𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘵𝘪𝘮𝘦, ⁠
follow baby’s lead, ⁠
and work at their pace. ⁠
⁠
Need to nurse? ⁠
Totally fine. ⁠
⁠
Need to pause for a snuggle? ⁠
Even better! (and if you let me in on that we'll be BFF)⁠
⁠
Some of the most beautiful, real moments happen in the in-between...⁠
⁠
when baby rests in your arms, ⁠
when you’re gently soothing them, ⁠
or ⁠when you look down and realize ⁠
just how tiny they are in 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘮𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵.⁠
⁠
You don’t need a perfectly sleepy baby for meaningful photos. ⁠
⁠
𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝘀𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗼𝗻, ⁠
as it is, and I’ll take care of the rest.⁠
⁠
⁠
I'm currently reserving fall and winter due dates, if that's you, then let's talk about how we can remember this season together!

𝗧𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀 𝗶 𝘄𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘁𝗼 𝗸𝗻𝗼𝘄…⁠
⁠
⁠
1. You are 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘢𝘸𝘬𝘸𝘢𝘳𝘥 in front of the camera. I’ll guide you gently so you ⁠never feel unsure or stiff.⁠
⁠
 2. We do 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘯𝘦𝘦𝘥 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘴𝘮𝘪𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘨 at the camera for every image. Connection and emotion matter more than perfection.⁠
⁠
3. The 𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘵𝘭𝘦 𝘥𝘦𝘵𝘢𝘪𝘭𝘴 𝘮𝘢𝘵𝘵𝘦𝘳 to me. ⁠
A tiny hand gripping your necklace. The wind in your hair. The way your baby bump curves under that flowing dress.⁠
⁠
4. 𝘐 𝘸𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘱𝘰𝘴𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘶, 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘯 𝘶𝘯-𝘱𝘰𝘴𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘶. ⁠
I start with gentle direction, but the real gold often happens when you relax into the moments together. ⁠
⁠
5. You will 𝘯𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳 𝘳𝘦𝘨𝘳𝘦𝘵 𝘣𝘦𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘪𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘱𝘩𝘰𝘵𝘰. Even if your hair is messy or the baby didn’t nap, your presence matters.⁠
⁠
6. I see 𝘣𝘦𝘢𝘶𝘵𝘺 𝘪𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘪𝘯-𝘣𝘦𝘵𝘸𝘦𝘦𝘯. ⁠
The little glances, the tiny hand holding yours, the way your kids snuggle into you, that’s the magic in your story.⁠
⁠
7. You do 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘯𝘦𝘦𝘥 𝘵𝘰 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘪𝘵 𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘧𝘪𝘨𝘶𝘳𝘦𝘥 𝘰𝘶𝘵. I’m here to help every step of the way, from what to wear to where we shoot.⁠
⁠
8. When 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘭𝘰𝘰𝘬 𝘣𝘢𝘤𝘬 𝘢𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘴𝘦 𝘱𝘩𝘰𝘵𝘰𝘴, I want your heart to ache a little in the best way. I want you to feel that tug of time passing and the beauty of this fleeting season.⁠
⁠
9. The moments you think are chaotic or messy often turn out to be the ⁠
𝘮𝘰𝘴𝘵 𝘣𝘦𝘢𝘶𝘵𝘪𝘧𝘶𝘭.⁠
⁠
10. You will 𝘯𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳 𝘳𝘦𝘨𝘳𝘦𝘵 𝘪𝘯𝘷𝘦𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘪𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘴𝘦 𝘮𝘦𝘮𝘰𝘳𝘪𝘦𝘴. Time only moves in one direction, and this moment deserves to be remembered.⁠
⁠
⁠
Your story deserves to be remembered. Let’s make it happen!⁠

You know how it takes your kids 40 minutes to put on socks ⁠but somehow your photo session flies by in what feels like 15?⁠
⁠
That’s not by chance. It’s by 𝘥𝘦𝘴𝘪𝘨𝘯.⁠
⁠
𝗜 𝗴𝘂𝗶𝗱𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗳𝗮𝗺𝗶𝗹𝘆 when we are together in a way that feels more like a walk with a friend than a stiff photoshoot. ⁠
⁠
We keep it 𝘭𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵, ⁠
keep it 𝘮𝘰𝘷𝘪𝘯𝘨, ⁠
and let the 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗹 𝗺𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀 𝘂𝗻𝗳𝗼𝗹𝗱 𝗻𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆. ⁠
⁠
Before you know it, you're done⁠
and somehow we’ve 𝘤𝘢𝘱𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘦𝘥 𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘫𝘰𝘺, ⁠
𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘯𝘦𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘭𝘰𝘷𝘦 in between the giggles and chaos.⁠
⁠
You’ll leave wondering, was that 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 it?⁠
⁠Yep. ⁠That was it!
And yes, 𝘄𝗲 𝗴𝗼𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗴𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝘀𝘁𝘂𝗳𝗳.⁠
⁠
The best sessions are the ones ⁠
where you walk away 𝘧𝘦𝘦𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘭𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵𝘦𝘳, ⁠
𝘮𝘰𝘳𝘦 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘯𝘦𝘤𝘵𝘦𝘥, and a little 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝗹𝗼𝘃𝗲 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗽𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲 than when you arrived.⁠
⁠
If that sounds like the kind of experience you need this season, let’s talk. ⁠
⁠
I’d love to help you make space for this 𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘥 𝘰𝘧 𝘮𝘢𝘨𝘪𝘤. ⁠
