These Are the                          I Can’t Stop Thinking About

Moments

This gallery is more than a portfolio—it’s a highlight reel of my favorite client memories.
The tearful vows, the belly laughs, the sleepy newborn sighs, the chaos that turned into magic.
Each image holds a piece of someone’s story, and I still catch myself smiling (and yes, sometimes crying) as I look back on them.

Take a peek. Feel the moments. And start dreaming up what yours could look like too.

Intimate Elopements

The quiet vows. The wind in your hair. The kind of love that doesn’t need a guest list to feel sacred.

These elopements are proof that when you strip away the pressure and production, what’s left is something even more beautiful—presence.

Whether it’s in the desert, by the lake, or in the woods with just the two of you, these stories are full of raw emotion, wild connection, and that “this is so us” energy.
Unrushed. Unapologetically real. Unforgettable.

​

This is what it looks like when you get married your way.

Maternity & Motherhood

Maternity and Motherhood sessions offer a beautiful way to document the anticipation and excitement of expecting a child. Celebrating the physical and emotional transformation of pregnancy, we will create timeless images that can be cherished for years to come. Providing you with an opportunity to feel pampered with professional styling, lighting, and posing designed to highlight and accentuate the beauty of the pregnant form.

​

These sessions are also a perfect way to announce your baby’s gender with a gender reveal, or share the exciting news of your little one’s upcoming arrival as a pregnancy announcement—turning your session into a meaningful moment for both you and your loved ones.

Newborn

Welcoming a new baby is one of the most emotional, beautiful seasons of life—and it deserves to be documented with care, intention, and love. My goal is to create simple, timeless images that capture the deep connection between you and your baby, as well as all the tiny, fleeting details you’ll want to remember forever.

 

As a trained professional and a mother myself, I understand how important it is to feel confident in your baby’s safety during their session. Every pose is done with your newborn’s comfort as the top priority. I follow their lead, ensuring they’re never placed in a position that doesn’t feel natural or safe. Your baby is in gentle, capable hands from start to finish.

 

Above all, I want this experience to feel calm, meaningful, and completely stress-free—for both you and your little one. You deserve to relax and soak in this moment while I capture it for you to cherish for a lifetime.

Milestones

Your baby changes so quickly in the first year—one moment they’re snuggled in your arms, the next they’re sitting up, smiling, and diving into their first birthday cake. These moments are fleeting, but they deserve to be remembered beautifully.

 

As a fellow mama, I know how deeply you cherish these milestones. That’s why my milestone sessions are designed to be effortless, elegant, and completely centered around your little one’s unique personality. From the first smile to that one-year cake smash, every detail is thoughtfully styled to give you timeless images you’ll treasure for a lifetime.

 

Let’s create something meaningful and unforgettable—because your memories deserve nothing less.
