Your children will cherish that photo of you helping them hunt for beautiful rocks at the beach, that tender snuggle in the golden sun, or of you sitting together in a messy bed reading their favorite book.

Lately I've been reflecting on my journey as a family and baby photographer...one word comes to mind - GRATITUDE!⁣
I am incredibly blessed to have had the opportunity to capture precious moments of so many wonderful families and adorable little ones. Each session is not just a job for me... it's a chance to connect, to share in your joy, and to freeze those fleeting moments in time.
To all my clients, past and present, I want to say THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart! You are not just clients... you are beautiful souls, loving parents, and amazing human beings. The trust you place in me to document your family's journey is an honor I cherish every day.
Behind every smile, every tiny hand reaching out, and every loving family embrace, there is a story of love, growth, and connection. It's these stories that inspire me and fuel my passion for photography.
I am so grateful for the moments we've shared, the laughter we've captured, and the memories we've created together. You've allowed me to be a part of your lives, and for that, I am forever thankful!

I had some very much needed alone time with my old

I had some very much needed alone time with my oldest the other day. We ended the day playing in a new location while we waited for my clients.
I adore when I get to connect with her again. One on one. She’s my feeler and often asks for snuggle time or alone time, but rarely gets enough of it these days.
When I get to sneak away with her, I see how much she’s grown and how much I’ve missed of her while I’m being pulled in so many different directions.
I’ll just continue to steal time with all my babies and pray I’m not missing too much.

Last weekend my family found ourselves moving into

Last weekend my family found ourselves moving into a hotel after coming home to find our house destroyed from a water leak. 3 floors of our 120 year old home destroyed. ⁣
I'm not worried about getting the house fixed... luckily we have insurance that will take care of it, but the unexpected emotional toll that seeing my children's stuff in such a state, or now having to figure out how to continue work with all 4 babies NEEDING me more now than ever, was a LOT.
But you know what took me most by surprise? Was so many clients both past and present (and far away!!) reaching out to help. Offering food (and a meal train!!), hands to help with my kiddos, a place to cook a meal or do laundry. I am blown away. How do I have so many amazing people in my life?? This experience has been eye opening for me. I am beyond thankful for the people that have come into my life.
If you have messaged or texted and have not gotten a response, please know that I am SO SO SO thankful for you. I am having a hard time keeping up and keeping the overwhelm down. But I love you dearly and am beyond words over your generosity.

The best of summer!! I’ve always loved summer, but having children has intensified my love for its warm sunny days and cool evenings… watching them discover sand, turn their faces to the sun, snuggle by the fire at night… it’s such a gift to realize this sort of joy all over again through them.
