booking studio & outdoor experiences
Time has a way of softening memories. The way your baby fits perfectly in your arms, the tiny fingers curled around yours, the sleepy stretches—these moments fade faster than you expect. But a newborn session preserves them forever, giving you something to hold onto when those days are long gone.
Choosing the right colors for your family or maternity session is key to creating timeless and beautiful images. In Toledo, spring and summer can bring stunning natural backdrops—from lush greenery to vibrant wildflowers—making it even more important to coordinate your wardrobe with the colors of the season. With my guidance, we’ll make this process easy and enjoyable, so you can focus on what matters most: enjoying your family’s love and connection.
Have you ever found yourself so busy taking care of everyone else that you forget to capture your family’s moments together? I get it. As a photographer, you’d think my kids would have endless albums of perfectly posed pictures. The truth? It’s been a challenge. Between juggling the demands of motherhood and feeling less-than-camera-ready, it’s easy to let the days slip by without stepping in front of the camera.
Spring in Toledo can be pretty magical. The air feels fresh, the flowers start popping up everywhere, and the whole city just seems to come alive again. If you’ve been thinking about getting family photos, spring is the perfect time to do it. Trust me, you won’t regret it.
As a mom and photographer, my heart is deeply connected to the work I do with The Gold Hope Project. It’s not just about taking photos; it’s about offering families something they can hold on to, especially during times when life feels incredibly fragile. Recently, I had the honor of photographing a beautiful two-year-old fighter named Oakleigh. Her sweet smile, her spirit, and even her dog joining the session made it an experience I’ll never forget.
