One of my favorite parts of this job isn’t just photographing families, it’s growing alongside them.

I’ve had the privilege of documenting John’s newborn session, his six-month milestone, and now his first birthday. Watching Grace become such a sweet, proud big sister while their family grows has been so special to witness.

These are the moments that matter most: the laughter, the snuggles, the tiny dimpled hands, and the ordinary evenings that someday won’t feel ordinary at all.

Thank you for inviting me back, year after year, to tell your family’s story. It truly means more than you know. 🤍

Some babies ease into one.

John showed up ready. 🤍

Big smiles, wobbly steps, nonstop curiosity, and just enough determination to keep everyone moving. This little guy had us laughing all evening.

Between the family snuggles, sweet moments with Grace, and a whole lot of golden sunshine, this session was such a fun way to celebrate his first birthday.

I’m so thankful this sweet family continues to invite me back to capture these milestones. Watching little personalities bloom, and families grow together, is one of the best parts of what I get to do.

Happy first birthday, John.

One of my favorite parts of photographing first birthdays isn’t the cake…

It’s seeing the family they’ve become over the past year.

Twelve months ago, everything was brand new. Now there’s confidence, routines, inside jokes, and a little boy who’s clearly so loved.

Thank you for inviting me back to document another chapter. 🤍

It feels like yesterday we were wrapping Barrett up for his newborn photos.

Now he’s on the move, full of smiles, curious about everything, carrying around the same little teddy bear… and making quick work of his birthday cake. 🧸✨

Golden light, sweet parents, and one very happy one-year-old. I’d call that a pretty perfect

The flowers will fade.

The cake gets eaten.

The dress gets packed away.

But these moments?

They only become more valuable with time.

Congratulations, Brooke & Matt. It was such a joy to document your day.

I say it every time, but I truly mean it.

One of the greatest privileges of this job is watching babies grow.

I photographed Halstyn as a newborn, again at six months, and now here we are celebrating her first trip around the sun. Between the smiles, the curious little expressions, and her adorable ride-on car, she made this session so much fun.

Thank you to all the families who trust me to document these fleeting seasons. Getting a front-row seat to these milestones is something I’ll never take for granted. ❤️

My favorite engagement sessions always feel a little less like a photoshoot and a little more like a date.

Drinks at Big Grove. A walk through Morgan Creek. Lots of laughs. A few quiet moments.

And two people who are very, very excited to get married.

Their May wedding can’t get here soon enough. 🤍

Every year I look forward to seeing what Beckett brings to his session.

Not just the outfits (though those are always amazing), but the personality that somehow gets bigger every single year.

Three years old and completely, unapologetically himself.
