With over 15 years of professional experience in the wedding and portrait industry, I've had the privilege of serving a multitude of couples and families. You are more than just a client to me! I believe in quality over quantity and aim to serve and treat each of you as though you are an extension of my family! I value your trust and pour into our time spent photographing and making sure each image is individually enhanced in the post production process. I am known to give more images than most and want you beaming ear to ear as you relish in your photo keepsakes!

the details
Once your session is booked, we work together to select a date & location that best reflects your vision. From there, I love to personalize each session & encourage parents to bring along any special or favorite items that showcase your child or family's personality! If doing a senior session, specialty or interest items are encouraged as well! I try to make every session as relaxed, comfortable, & fun as possible! You will be emailed with your gallery images within 2 weeks unless otherwise noted.
Children, family, & Senior sessions
These are some of my favorite sessions! Once your session is booked, we work together to select a date & location that best reflects your vision. We typically start with some traditional 1 year photos in your choice outfit followed by ending the session with a fun cake smash in a 2nd choice outfit. I definitely love to capture your child's "can't live without" items at this age, so definitely bring along their favorite blanky, stuffed animal, book, or toy! Every child reacts different to cake smashes, so I'm prepared to capture the smiles, tears, mess and all! You will be emailed with your gallery images within 2 weeks unless otherwise noted.
cake smash Sessions
Once your session is booked, we work together to select a tentative date around your due date. Once you deliver we will do the session within the first 5-10 days of birth for best cooperation from baby. I come to your home for a more relaxed & comfortable session. I will do a variety of lifestyle and posed newborn photos. I bring various props and also love to incorporate any personalized baby items you might have. Newborn sessions typically last longer to allow time for additional feedings and changes if necessary. You will be emailed with your gallery images within 2-3 weeks.
