Having little humans is one of the most special times in your life. As a mama, I know that I have taken thousands of photos of my two boys since the day they made their way earth side. Many of those with my iPhone, and many with my camera. And the ones I get with my camera are just so FREAKING GOOD, and I would be so sad without them.
I want to walk alongside side you in this precious season. Whether you have a fresh newborn or some seasoned little's throwing darts and running around your home at lightening speed, your season is SPECIAL. What a joy it is to look around you and despite the messes, the bottles, the crumbs in the floor, the toys EVERYWHERE, the crayon on the wall, this is what you once prayed for. And for each season, there is such DEPTH in the beauty that is motherhood.
I want to give you a sweet experience, filled with activities, real life, and big belly laughs with your kids. Dad can come along or just hang out and watch, but this is a season worth documenting. I will hang out with you, play with your kids, and snap the in-between moments that bring such significance to being "mama." You can do bath time, baking, painting, snuggling, playing - whatever is most special in this season, let's capture it. I edit with bright, timeless, filmy tones to give you a gallery that tells your story and will reach into the depths of your soul with nostalgia for years to come.
i'm ready to book!
your experience matters.
our time together
Stop here for a second. I want to take your WORRY away. If there is one thing I know to be true, it is that parents feel that getting their kids to sit still and actually smile for a photo is IMPOSSIBLE. I feel that to my core!
I am here to tell you that I don't NEED to pose you to get your perfect family photos. We are going to hang out and do REAL life instead. I let you guys go into your own little family world - playing, baking, eating cookies, painting, play with play doh, having a dance party - it's all about capturing who you really are as a FAMILY. And don't worry, if your toddler throws a tantrum or we need a break, that is TOTALLY fine. I understand - you don't have to feel guilty or sorry. Life with children is both challenging and beautiful, and we will embrace it all. It will seriously be so much fun! My heart is for our time together to be filled with JOY, creating lasting memories.
From in home sessions to pretty landscapes, you can have the best time just letting your kids be kids. And with that comes a beautiful, messy, exciting gallery that tells a sweet story. Let go of "perfect," and I will guide you through the imperfect beauty that is your sweet family. You are going to be wrecked in the best way possible when you view the images we create.
Announcement
The anticipation to tell the world that you are having a baby is so REAL. Some wait until 12 weeks, and some like to announce way before, or way after. Regardless, I would LOVE to capture the excitement and JOY that makes you glow in this season. These can be simple, or they can be extravagant. You will simply hold baby shoes and an ultrasound, or go all out with a gender reveal photoshoot. Either way, I am here for you!
Maternity
Pregnancy can often be a blur once your sweet baby arrives. But one thing I ALWAYS tell my mama's to preserve is their season pregnancy with sweet photos. As you approach birth, a page is turning. It will be your last season of "just me and my husband," or "just us and our first baby." Their is such beauty in capturing the moments right before one chapter ends and a new one begins. I encourage you to get the photos taken. You will not regret it.
BIRTH
Mama, the hospital is a place where you deserve to be well taken care of. One of the best things you can do on this day, is to have an extra hand - someone who knows and loves you, but isn't involved - that can hold your phone, take the video, take the photo, and especially, take the professional photos. There is NOTHING like the depth of emotion and raw feelings that are captured through the eyes of someone who sees beauty in the challenge of birth. Don't worry, I won't get in the way. I won't talk to you unless you talk to me, I won't take photos below the belly, other than when they hold baby up, and I will always be there to say kind, encouraging words if you need them. Count me in as another nurse, just with a camera. I can be in and out of your room, or hang out the whole time. It is whatever you want. Just know, the photos are WORTH it.
Fresh 48
YOUR BABY IS HERE! You are settled into the Mom and Baby floor in your hospital and feeling much more rested. And you just want that perfect little baby's photos captured so that you can remember those tiny hands and feet forever. While you are in the hospital, I can take photos for you within 48 hours of your birth. These are so special. And often help you remember all the emotion and little details that soon become a blur as your baby starts to grow.
Newborn
7-10 days after your baby is born, I can come into your home and take the most BEAUTIFUL newborn photos. By this time, your baby will likely be in a routine, but still sleepy and perfect for those dreamy, posed photos. I love to take a lifestyle approach to these, capturing you guys in your space, as comfortable as possible. We can take breaks, feed baby, and change diapers whenever needed. These sessions have no rules, only bliss.
IS THAT IT?
I am here to be your friend forever. I will keep up with you and your life on social media, talk mom life with you, anything you are down for. And I will forever be here to capture each moment of you and your little humans! There is just simply no greater joy in this world than being a mama. No matter what stage of life you’re in, how many kids you have, or what moment you’re celebrating, I am here to celebrate with you! I hope to be your personal photographer for a lifetime of memories.
