Happy one year to this little one who is cute as a button.

Two boys, one tiny dancer, and a whole lot of heart.
Her little dance spirit carried through the entire session... soft, expressive, and full of joy... while her brothers brought the fun and the energy. Watching this family move together was such a gift. Just a few of my favorite people. :)

Listen, moms.
The tired ones. The nervous ones. The ones Googling “is it too late for newborn photos?” at 2 a.m.

This baby was three weeks old.
She slept maybe a third of the session.
The rest of the time she was awake… and yes, a little fussy.

And her mom still received a full, beautiful gallery.

Because here’s the thing most people won’t tell you:
newborn sessions don’t have to look one specific way to be successful.

Your baby doesn’t have to sleep the whole time.
They don’t have to be “easy.”
You don’t have to apologize or feel anxious walking in.

I don’t rush. I don’t force. I follow your baby’s lead.
We pause when needed. We adjust. We meet your baby where they are that day.

So if you’re sitting there thinking,
“She’s too old.”
“She won’t sleep.”
“She’s fussy… this won’t work.”

Take a breath. I’ve got you. And I’ve got your baby.

This is why newborn photography is more than just owning a camera and adding “photographer” to a name.

It’s patience. Experience. And knowing how to create something beautiful... even when the plan changes.

Sweet Baby B,

You challenged me in the gentlest way.
Your three-week-old self made it clear you weren’t interested in being posed.
So I honored that.

You had already given us so much.
We still tried the little beanbag poses,
but you wouldn’t settle for anything less than the warmth of your mother.
So I honored that, too.

And then this moment happened,
a small, stolen breath in the middle of an ordinary moment.
This is where you belong,
right here
in your mother’s arms.

You led the way, sweet girl.
I simply followed.

Sometimes the truest portrait is the one a baby chooses for us.

“Hidden creative gems that you should know about.”

Scroll and see a mention of your favorite photographer. 😅😜

Every day we have a choice. We can support an up and coming podcaster, try a new family-run restaurant, join a boutique gym started by a local fitness champ or we could keep giving away our money to the handful of giants who already control so much of our commerce. Our daily decisions impact the [.....

You’d never know that behind those peaceful frames,
there were tiny yawns, hungry cries, and mama’s patient hands.
She may not have slept much, but she was perfectly herself —
brand new, beautifully real, and loved beyond measure. 🤍

She didn’t sleep much, and that was okay.
This session wasn’t about perfect poses,
it was about her, just as she is.

Her parents drove an hour
and together we poured love and patience
into every little moment.

At just nine weeks,
she reminded us that beauty isn’t found in perfection.it’s found in presence.

Okay… this one-year cake smash might just live rent-free in my mind forever. 🥹

Mom absolutely knew the assignment and read my information on my website. Every little detail was so intentional—soft, simple, and full of texture in the best way. The older sister in her light brown skirt set (texture perfection), the younger in a plain white dress with those gentle details, their sweet boy in a striped top, and mom in that dreamy white blouse with the smallest hint of a pattern.

This is literally what my minimalist-loving heart dreams of. 😍
Simple. Thoughtful. Effortless.

Take notes, mamas... this is how you do timeless. 🤎
