Incase you didn’t know, we have a studio makeup Incase you didn’t know, we have a studio makeup artist to help you get ready for your session! It’s wonderful to sit and let someone else handle the makeup, but ESPECIALLY when you’re a momma and have littles to get ready as well. It’s SO NICE to get to sit for a few minutes and let someone take something off your plate before your session!
"Maybe your house is a mess. Maybe you don't exerc "Maybe your house is a mess. Maybe you don't exercise as much as you'd like. Maybe your car needs a deep clean or maybe you need to eat better. Maybe your inbox needs attention or you're always late. ​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ And maybe you do have the same amount of time in the day as everyone else, ​​​​​​​​ But maybe you have young children, so time is largely dictated by their needs,​​​​​​​​ And maybe,​​​​​​​​ Just maybe, ​​​​​​​​ Meeting those needs is time well spent too." ​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ -Emma Heaphy
If we have ever worked together, I need a favor. 😊️​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ I would be so grateful if you would take a moment to leave me a google review (the link is in my profile)!​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ As a small business I rely heavily on word of mouth and reviews. I am so appreciative for the time taken to write a few words about our experience together! xo!
I’m going to be vulnerable with you and I’m be I’m going to be vulnerable with you and I’m believing that there are probably others who will feel what I’m about to say.​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ I’ve always been someone who thrives on connection. Someone who celebrates little things and cherishes intentional time. I dreamt of being a mother for so long. When Emelia was born, I memorized every single detail of her.​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ Fast forward 2 years and I found myself with a 2 year old, 1 year old, and 2 newborns. While I absolutely adore my family and wouldn’t change anything, I had to mourn (and still find myself mourning, honestly) getting to know my babies in that way.​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ One thing no one warned me regarding having a larger family was how much I would miss out on with each of them. I’m constantly being needed and pulled in every direction. A chance to sit with ONE and truly be intentional is rare.​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ It is bittersweet though. The joy of watching these babies growing up together and their unique and special relationships with each other is irreplaceable. And I know that having special time with them will get easier and easier the older they get. I just adore this season so much and don’t want to forget any of it! But I know I will!! I can’t even remember the comment one of my twins said yesterday that had me in stitches!​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ So, I will mourn what I miss, celebrate what I can, and just keep doing my best!​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ What’s something you’ve had to come to grips with since becoming a mother?
My shooting space is probably not what you first t My shooting space is probably not what you first think of when you hear “photography studio”. It was important to me to create a space that could emulate the intimacy in the quiet moments found in your home and at the same time give me a clean space to stretch my creativity.

With the whirlwind that comes along with postpartu With the whirlwind that comes along with postpartum life, you don’t want to miss out on capturing those precious newborn moments or their tiny little details.​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ The best time to schedule your newborn session is in your second trimester. If you are expecting, I’d love to get you on the calendar or tell you about how you can register for newborn photography!​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ If your little one is already here, it’s not too late! Let’s chat about how we can capture this beautiful season.
When are you most productive and how do you stay o When are you most productive and how do you stay on track? ​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ I lose my energy really quick if I don't get an early start in the day and I've recently learned that I have to schedule out EV-ERY-THING. However, sometimes I get that second wind at night and stay up waaaay too late... but that's what coffee is for right?! 🥴
