hey, mama!
i'm so glad you're here.
It's never easy getting in front of the camera. Like, what are you supposed to do with your hands? I totally get it. But you've got nothing to worry about because I strive to make all of my sessions a fun EXPERIENCE for everyone involved. Cause let's be honest, straight posin' + cheesin' can be quite exhausting. So during our session, you can expect to laugh, play, kiss, and maybe get a *little* bit of physical activity in. And I'll be there to snap the sweet in-between moments through it all so we capture the real you.
I believe in doing more than just showing up and taking your photos...
I have worked long and hard so that when my clients book with me, they feel like they are receiving a top notch experience and become part of an exclusive club! You won't just pay a deposit and show up on the session day. I will let you know exactly how to best prepare for our time together and even provide you with some special perks just for my clients! Not sure about what to wear? Send me some outfit pics! Nervous about posing? I promise I'll walk you through it ALL! I want you to feel like you're the queen you are when I start snapping your photo! ;)
an exclusive, personalized experience that tells the whole story of your journey from announcing your big news to capturing the newfound wholeness of your little family!

I have always enjoyed photographing pregnancy announcements, maternity photos, newborn photos, and family. However, now that I have experienced these things myself it gives me a whole new perspective and therefore gets me even more excited!
The best part about this package is we will get to work together for the next TEN months or more! We will work together for each of your photo sessions, potentially even talk through the birth experience, and you will receive the most beautiful album to cherish each of those moments for the years to come. I don't take it lightly that you would be letting me in on such a special, intimate, and vulnerable part of your life. So yes, I might tear up a little when I get that booking e-mail from you. I can't wait to see your sweet belly grow, witness you fall even more deeply in love with your partner, and watch you step into this new role as a mama as you receive God's greatest gift!
Becoming a mama to Sylas has been the most beautiful thing I have ever experienced and it's been such a pivotal season in my life. I've never felt such conflicting emotions at the same time -- already nostalgic for how little my son was yesterday, yet anxiously awaiting the milestones he has yet to reach as he grows.
I wish I could relive his birth (well, maybe not the 30 hrs of labor part) to feel that incredible, spiritual, overwhelming rush of love over and over again. I want to bottle up all of these sweet moments during these ever so fleeting days so that they never feel far away. To me, the closest thing to doing that is through photographs! Which is why I am so very grateful we invested in documenting our whole journey to parenthood with professional images.
