November 17, 2024

It's only one week until Christmas and I figured I better share the Christmas minis before it's too late! I did these sessions in the studio this year and I absolutely LOVED every single one of them! The set up we had a very wintery vibe, and it was so very perfect!

I am so glad that so many awesome families came to see me for their minis this year. Thank you all so much for trusting me with your memories!

November 9, 2024

With the holiday hustle in full swing, I didn't want to let the season slip by without sharing this sweet family! Back in November, I had the chance to photography Lucca, Liam and their awesome parents during a quick family session. The two little guys weren't exactly thrilled about photos at first—understandable, since they'd just gotten over being sick the week before. But once they warmed up to me (and the idea of being in front of the camera), their playful personalities started to shine through.

It was such a joy to spend time with this family and capture a few special moments for them. These sessions are always a reminder of how much fun it is to document the everyday chaos and sweetness of family life. So glad I got to hang out with these cuties and their loving parents again—what a treat!
