I don’t take on a ton of senior sessions, but the ones I do? I love them so much 🤍

This session in the rose garden felt like pure summer magic. Everything is in full bloom right now, and it’s one of those locations that only stays this dreamy for a few short months… which makes it feel even more special.

And I have to say, one of my favorite parts of this session was how she made it hers. Bringing along one of her favorite things, a good book, made it feel so personal. Those little details always end up being the most meaningful.

If you’ve been thinking about a summer session here, this is your sign 🌹✨ It’s perfect for any kind of session!

I know a majority of people love their fall sessions…but..Spring sessions just hit different.

The soft light, the fresh green, the little in-between moments you can’t pose if you tried — baby toes kicking, toddler curiosity, parents soaking it all in for one sweet second. This is the kind of session that feels playful and relaxed while still giving you images that you’ll want on your walls forever.

If you’ve been waiting for the perfect time to update your family photos, this is it. Spring is full of the dreamiest light and the kind of beauty that makes everything feel a little extra magical. 🤍

Now booking spring family sessions.

Swipe for the best newborn smile 😍

Let’s be real, sessions with three little ones can feel a little chaotic… they all have their moments, but somehow, in between the wiggles and curiosity, they always come through so beautifully.

Two proud big sisters, each wanting their turn to love on their newest baby girl, and parents just soaking in the fullness of it all. There was so much movement, lots of noise, but even more love—and honestly, that’s what makes these moments so special.

Their sweet rainbow baby, the perfect little piece that completed their family…absolute perfection 🌈☀️

Spring in the redwoods 🤍🌿

This sweet toddler had one goal the entire session—run free and explore… and honestly, we leaned right into it. Instead of slowing him down, we embraced the movement, followed his lead, and turned those in-between moments into something so genuine.

With a little flexibility, lots of movement, and a go-with-the-flow mindset, we captured the most beautiful, meaningful memories. Tiny hand holds, curious steps, and the quiet anticipation of what’s to come ✨

8 weeks with their beautiful baby girl 🤍

One of my favorite things about in-home sessions is how we can use so many meaningful parts of a family’s home. From soft window light to cozy corners and even their outdoor spaces. Every spot tells a piece of their story.

We mixed a few outfit changes: delicate lace, soft florals, and the sweetest baby outfits - creating such a timeless feel throughout the session.

Slow moments, tiny toes, warm snuggles, and so much love for their little girl.

These early days are fleeting, and it’s always an honor to capture them.

If your baby isn’t quite in that newborn stage anymore, please know that photos can still happen ☀️ DM me to secure a session spot now!

A little moment just for baby 🤎

The scrunchy faces.
The tiniest toes.
Soft little hands stretching in the light.

Those serious newborn brows and perfectly pouty lips.

These are the fleeting details that change way too fast — and the ones we’ll always want to remember. ✨

Newborn sessions don’t have to be frilly dresses or button-down shirts to be beautiful 🤍

They can be soft jammies, bare feet, sweet snuggles, and a little dancing around the kitchen with your people.

These sessions are about embracing you…kids playing with their favorite toys, tiny hands wrapped around mom and dad, hanging out on dad’s shoulders, and soaking in the real, everyday moments that make this season so special.

Come as you are. Love on your babies. Let it be cozy, relaxed, and full of connection.

Those are the moments that matter most ✨

Dreaming of Golden Sunsets on the lake..💛☀️

There’s something so special about slowing down and capturing this season… because life is about to get beautifully fuller.

These quiet, glowing maternity moments hold so much magic…the calm before everything changes. Just you, your growing family, bare feet in the sand, and the sweet anticipation of meeting the newest little soul you’ll love forever.

I’m known for loving light and airy tones, but I also truly believe there’s so much beauty in embracing bold patterns and richer colors when they’re done thoughtfully. This family absolutely nailed it. 🤎

Extended family sessions can be challenging, but they are so so beautiful. Getting everyone together in one place, photographing each family unit, the grandparents with their grandbabies, and all the in-between moments—it’s such a meaningful gift to give yourselves.

These images become even more precious as the years go on. A reminder of who was there, what life looked like, and how deeply connected you all were in this season. Truly a treasure to hold onto. 🍂✨
