Photographing women who hold space for others is always something special.

Branding photos don’t need to feel stiff or intimidating - they should feel grounded, confident, and real. That was the goal with this session.

Wendy’s work centers around connection, safety, and trust - and those are the same things I aim to create for people in front of my camera.

I’m grateful when meaningful work gets to overlap like this. 🤍

One of my favorite things about studio sessions is how versatile they can be.

The same space can hold mother–daughter portraits, branding images, quiet solo moments, and everything in between.

This studio was designed to feel comfortable and un-intimidating, because when people feel at ease, that’s when the best images happen.

I’ll be opening up a limited number of studio mini sessions soon, and I can’t wait to share more. 🤍

Mother–daughter photos hit differently once everyone’s grown.

Less about milestones. More about connection.

These sessions always feel like a quiet pause - to just be together, without rushing, without expectations.

And honestly? I think that’s when photos matter the most.

One whole year 🥹💙
The last one-year milestone for the third boy in a family I’ve photographed for years - and my heart is full.

So much personality, the sweetest big brother moments, and a whole lot of love in one beautiful session.

The way they look at each other.
The quiet in-between moments.
The kind of love that feels steady, deep, and completely meant to be. 🤍

Spencer & Kandis — wrapped in late fall light, holding space just for each other, soaking in the day they promised forever. These are the moments that slow time and remind me why I love what I do.

Sometimes the best photos are the simplest ones.

If you’ve been wanting updated portraits but haven’t wanted anything themed, styled, or overthought — this is your sign.

This Saturday’s Love Mini Sessions can be:
• Clean + classic
• Neutral + timeless
• Just you (or your people) as you are

No Valentine’s backdrop required.
Same quick session, same ease, same heart behind it.

And yes — well-behaved pets are welcome with approval, because they’re family too 🐾

A rare chance for quick, meaningful studio portraits — without committing to a full session.
