“I’d love to have family photos, but the thought of planning it all stresses me out.”⁠
⁠
Figuring out outfits, getting the kids to cooperate, hoping your husband plays along… it’s a lot. And honestly, by the time you make it to the session, you’re already exhausted.⁠
⁠
But what if family photos didn’t have to be stressful? What if you didn’t have to spend hours debating outfits or worry about forcing smiles? What if all you had to do was show up and love on your family—and I handled the rest?⁠
⁠
That’s exactly what I do. From outfit guidance to making the session feel like a fun family adventure, I take the stress off your plate so you can focus on what really matters—making memories with your people.⁠
⁠
Let’s make this easy for you. Comment EASY and I’ll send you how we can remember this season with your little loves. 💛⁠

She calls this her tree, and every spring, we wait for it to bloom. These photos mean so much to me, not just because of the tree, but because they’re rare. She hardly lets me take her photo anymore, which is hard, because she’s the reason I first picked up a camera. She was my first muse, the one who made me fall in love with capturing the little moments of childhood.⁠
⁠
I’m endlessly grateful for the thousands of photos I have of her over the years, proof of just how much she’s changed, and how, in some ways, she’s still the same little girl who saw magic in the every day—and made me see it too.

Toddlers at newborn sessions always steal a piece of my heart.

Their big personalities bring so much heart to these sessions. The beauty is in the in-between, the way their little hands reach out with curiosity, the hugs that turn into squishes, the quiet moments when they pause just long enough to gaze at the baby.

It’s those unexpected, unscripted moments that tell the real story of welcoming a new life into a growing family.

So if you’re worried about your toddler at a newborn session, don’t be! These are the moments that will make your heart swell as the years pass you by!

This momma always has such a beautiful vision for her family photos, and it’s a joy to see it come to life. The way she layered textures, mixed patterns, and chose pieces with so much intention made every detail feel effortlessly perfect. ⁠
⁠
But more than that, it’s the love and connection within this family that truly makes the session special—the way they laugh together, hold onto each other and simply be in the moment. ⁠
⁠
The magic isn’t just in the outfits or the setting, but in the way they love each other so effortlessly.⁠
⁠
If you’re unsure where to start, I’m here to help—whether it’s styling, planning, or just making sure your session feels exactly like you! Comment FAMILY to get more details!

Unpopular opinion…⁠
⁠
you don’t need a reason to book family photos. No milestone, no birthday, no “perfect” timing. ⁠
⁠
The reason? ⁠
⁠
Because your babies won’t always fit in your arms. Because their smile looks different every year. Because one day, you’ll look back and wish you had more photos together! Comment “FAMILY” to get started soaking in these moments together.
