couples

Couples sessions are my absolute favorite. Whether we're celebrating a milestone like an engagement or pregnancy or just because ya'll are in love, I'm here for it. I love to keep my couples sessions laid-back and fun. There's a lot of smoochin' and belly laughin' involved! I like to elevate my couples sessions from "sit and smile" to a rad experience. Consider a couples session as a kick ass date with me being your personal paparazzi and new favorite third wheel.  

These sessions are for all types of loves + lovers.

MICRO weddings +
elopements

After shooting conventional weddings for years I'm switching gears and focusing on smaller intimate weddings and elopements. I will no longer be taking on weddings of 150+ guests with massive bridal parties. I prefer more intimate wedding days so I can fully capture you and your loved ones on a deeper level. I want to focus more on the love and less on the "fluff". Let's ditch the traditional massive wedding and all of the stress that comes along with it and instead plan a relaxed day celebrating the love you two have for each other. If this sounds like your jam then I'm your girl.

family

Let's be honest - kids usually don't want to sit and smile for an hour straight, right? I don't blame them! I always aim to keep my family sessions light and fun. Let's let the kiddos run around wild + free. Let's let them explore and maybe get a little dirty. Let's let them be kids. Sure, we'll sneak in a few smiley ones, but let's focus on the bond your family has. We'll let them run loose and then pull them in for snuggles and smooches. We'll document this season your sweet family is in so you can relive it forever.

FIRST BIRTHDAYS

30-60 minutes - digital gallery with edited images

Now that I have a studio space I have been able to celebrate your little babe's first birthdays with you, and it has been SO much fun! For first birthday sessions I offer both full and mini sessions. For full sessions we are able to do family photos, solos of your little one, and a cake smash. If you're only wanting to do 2 out of those 3 then a mini tends to work well!

*

My turnaround time for galleries is around 3 weeks so it's important to let me know baby's birthday so we can plan around it!

*I do not provide the cake*

LIFESTYLE NEWBORN

I know, I know -- I said I'd never work with newborns! Since opening my studio space and having some very persistent clients who have way too much trust in me I have officially eaten my words and am offering lifestyle newborn sessions year-round in my studio. I have fallen in love with photographing sweet moments with squishy little babies. My newborn sessions are strictly lifestyle based and I am hands off. With this I mean that I will still absolutely be guiding you and having you flow through different poses and what not, but I never touch the babies myself. These are perfect for snuggling and smooching with your newest little love in a more real-life way.

BIRTHDAY micro MINI

I know after the first birthday celebrations have passed many leave the cake smashes behind but still want to have those memories of their babies entering each new year. I'm excited to officially offer micro minis to capture those ever changing details and personalities. These are 15 minutes sessions for one child only. The goal is to deliver you beautiful, timeless photos of your babe that you will hold tight for a lifetime. While these are quick sessions and do not allow for an outfit change, you're always more than welcome to bring along their favorite stuffed animal or something they LOVE at this stage to add to the magic of remembering them exactly how they are at this age.
