This dreamy family session almost got rained out—but the clouds parted and we were gifted the most perfect golden light for this sweet family of four. So grateful we didn’t let a little weather stop us!

Do people still read blog posts? I sure hope so—because I just published a new one, and it’s full of extra adorable photos from a recent session! 🥹📸

Would you rather see session highlights shared in blog posts like this one, or do you prefer a good old-fashioned photo dump in a Facebook album?

Let me know—I’m all ears! 💛👇

There’s something so tender and fleeting about the first birthday milestone—those final glimpses of babyhood, and the very first steps into toddlerhood. I had the joy of capturing that sweet in-between moment with Theodore—"Teddy" to his loved ones—during a dreamy session at Wegerzyn Gardens...

"June Specials" are in full swing and I’ve been loving every moment of creating custom, timeless pieces for families to cherish in their homes.

This particular session meant the world to me. I’ve had the absolute joy of photographing this beautiful family since 2018—from their engagement and wedding day to all the little milestones in between. Being invited back, time and time again, is the highest compliment I could ever receive. What a gift it is to grow alongside the stories I get to capture!

What unfolded during this dreamy session was full of quiet connection—between horse and human, and between all of us navigating the moment together. I watched Ava lead with gentleness, and the horse respond with calm confidence, and it felt like witnessing a story only the two of them truly understood. Those unplanned, unscripted moments often become the most meaningful images. And in the end, I left not just with beautiful photos, but with a deeper appreciation for the trust it takes to be seen—whether through a lens or by a beloved companion.

Did you know that every wedding package I offer includes a FREE engagement session? 💍✨

Spending extra time with my couples before the big day isn’t just a bonus—it’s a game changer. It gives us a chance to connect, laugh, and get comfortable with each other (you’ll learn all my quirky pose prompts 😄), and I get to see how you naturally move and fit together. Building that rhythm ahead of time makes the wedding day smoother, more relaxed, and so much more "you"—and that’s exactly how it should feel. 📸

There’s nothing one-dimensional about individuality—it moves in waves, speaks in stillness, and stands tall in ways the world doesn't always see.
Her strength is a quiet power, often revealed in the everyday moments that go unnoticed.
Through my lens, I aim to honor that rhythm and reflect the beauty of women rising fully in their truth.
