Just two lovers, a bottle of wine, and a little cake that said “forever.” 🥹💍

This dreamy engagement session in Cherokee Park had all the Notebook-level romance—picnic under the trees, toasts to forever, and so many sweet moments. Proof that your love story doesn’t need anything extravagant… just a cozy blanket, a little sunshine, and someone who makes your heart feel like home.

One of my favorite parts of this job? Watching my friends step into new seasons—and getting to freeze the magic along the way. 🥹📸

This maternity session was full of soft sunshine, little girl giggles, and one very sweet horse who clearly wanted a modeling contract. 🐴✨

Capturing the beauty of motherhood, the bond of growing families, and the quiet strength in these moments will never get old. Forever honored to document stories like this. 🤍

One of the greatest gifts of being a photographer?
Capturing the people I love through every season of their lives. 🥹📸

From engagements to weddings to new babies and wild toddlers — it’s so surreal to look back and realize how many milestones I’ve had the honor of freezing in time. These aren’t just “client galleries” to me. They’re heartbeats. They’re friendships. They’re stories I feel so lucky to witness up close.

Photographing Amber and her sweet little family over the years has been exactly that. Pure magic. Watching her step into motherhood — not once but twice — and seeing the way she shows up with so much love, patience, and humor… it honestly makes me tear up.

And her girls? I adore them. Like deeply. They’ve grown in front of my lens and right into my heart.

To my friends who’ve trusted me with your most special moments — thank you. I love you more than you know. These photos mean everything to me. 💛✨

If you’ve been thinking about booking a session — whether it’s your engagement, your family, or just this beautiful season of life you’re in — my calendar is open and spots are limited.

Thinking about booking a family session but worried your toddler might stage a full-blown meltdown in the middle of a golden field? 😅
I got you.

Here’s the thing—family photos don’t have to be stiff, staged, or stressful.
In fact, the best moments happen when we ditch the poses and just let your kids… be kids.

Run wild. Giggle. Snuggle. Climb you like a jungle gym.
That’s the good stuff. That’s real life. And that’s exactly what I love to capture.

I’ll guide you with simple prompts and fun little actions to keep things flowing—so you’re never left wondering what to do with your hands (or your baby).

Just show up as you are. Chaos and all.
We’ll make some magic with it ✨📸

DM me “FAMILY VIBES” and I’ll send over session info + dates for summer spots 🌞


And can we talk about this session?! I had so much fun capturing this sweet fam—especially because this mama is an old friend from back home in California. We met in 2019 and haven’t seen each other since… but somehow ended up living in the same city all the way across the country.
Life is funny like that. 🫶🌎

“Some stories you get to witness from the very beginning, and others you get to help write. 📸✨

Miles and I met in grad school, became friends, and when he found his person, I knew I had to capture their love story. From their engagement session to their wedding day, and now here we are - photographing their maternity session in the first home they bought together, waiting for their first baby.

I’ve been taking a break from photography since having my daughter, but being behind the camera with these two reminded me why I fell in love with this art in the first place. There’s something so sacred about documenting the evolution of love - from ‘I choose you’ to ‘we’re creating life together.’

Walking through their home, seeing how they’ve built this beautiful life, watching them prepare for parenthood... I was honestly emotional the entire session. This is what it’s all about - genuine connection, authentic moments, and the privilege of witnessing love grow.

To all my couples who’ve become family: thank you for trusting me with your stories. They inspire me more than you’ll ever know. 💕

I used to avoid sharing pics like this because they didn’t match my “feed aesthetic”… yeah, I know. Stupid right?

People are so much more than the brand or business they are trying to build. I’m much more multifaceted than just posting weddings and couples and other peoples stories. What about my own?!

This pic and silly floof 🐶 match my “life aesthetic” a little more accurately. Many more adventures to come♥️
