We got to celebrate this sweet guy turning 4 and capture some updated family photos in this gorgeous location with the dreamiest warm golden lights ✨

Birthday sessions are a great time to update your family photos! You get to celebrate your little one AND document this season of life all at the same time.

Can someone please explain to me how time moves this fast?! 🥹

My best friend, whom I’ve known since the fifth grade, is celebrating her 13th wedding anniversary today, and I genuinely don’t know where the years went.

Watching her become a wife and mom has been one of the sweetest parts of growing up together. Along the way she built this beautiful family, birthed me two little besties who call me Auntie LoLo and keep me laughing and dancing every time we’re together, and of course, sweet S.J. 🐾

We’ve been best friends for more of our lives than we haven’t and I think that’s pretty special 🤍👯‍♀️

These guys have been friends since elementary school and now they’re graduating together. I loved getting to capture this chapter before life takes them in different directions.

For their senior session, they wanted to revisit their elementary school, junior high, and high school. We walked the halls, stopped at their old lunch tables as they reminisced about different memories from their school days, hung out on the bleachers recalling old sports memories, and somehow turned every stop into an obstacle course 🤪

There’s something really special about growing up with the same group of people. You go through so many firsts together that those friendships become part of who you are. I don’t think you fully realize how meaningful those years are until you’re looking back on them…

This session was especially nostalgic for me because I had a group of girlfriends just like this! Many of them are still some of my closest friends today and our senior year we even did a photoshoot in matching outfits 🥹 It made me smile watching these guys make memories they’ll be looking back on years from now, just like I do.

If you’re a senior and want to capture this season with your best friends before life takes you in different directions, I’d love to help you remember it. Get in touch with me ✨

Swipe to the end to see a few photos of me and my friends from our senior year. 🤍

I know… talking about holiday cards at the start of summer feels a little crazy 😅 But if you’re planning on sending holiday cards this year, don’t feel like you have to wait until fall to book your family photos!

Summer sessions have some pretty great perks too. You still get that beautiful golden light, everyone’s got a little summer glow, and you’ll have your photos finished long before the holiday rush.

My summer calendar is officially open, and now is the perfect time to reserve your session before the busy fall season arrives ☀️

A reminder that family photos don’t stop being important when your kids grow up !!

Every season deserves to be documented. The little years are sweet, but so are the teen years. The personalities, the laughter, the connections, and the people they’re becoming.

And I know what you’re thinking… “My teenager would never participate in a family photo shoot.”

Trust me, I’ve heard it plenty of times. And EVERY single time, those same teenagers end up laughing, having fun, and leaving saying, “That wasn’t as bad as I thought.”

And one day, they’ll be just as grateful these photos exist as you are 🤍

I first met this family years ago when they were living in California and from the start they felt more like friends than clients 🤍 They’ve since moved to a gorgeous property in Utah and they flew me out to photograph their two super rad Airbnb stays on their property. One is an airstream trailer in the middle of a field of horses and the other is a horse stable converted into a living area. While I was there, I also got to spend a few days alongside them exploring the area, off roading, doing some epic thrifting, sharing great meals, and documenting their everyday life on the farm.

I loved watching the way they all worked together. Everyone has a job. Everyone pitches in. Animals need feeding, projects need tackling, and daily chores are just part of the rhythm of their family life. It’s proof that the most ordinary moments, even chores, can make beautiful memories 🤗

Lately I’ve been thinking about how quickly time moves.

Watching my nieces and nephews grow up has made me understand that in an entirely new way. My oldest nephew is graduating high school while the youngest is graduating preschool, and somehow it feels like only yesterday the oldest was the one in the tiny cap and gown.

One moment they fit in your arms, and the next they’re becoming their own person right in front of you. And I think that’s part of what’s made me see how sacred motherhood really is.

Because when you look at how quickly a child grows, you start to realize childhood is built from thousands of small moments someone lovingly repeated over and over again.

Every “watch this!” moment.
Every bedtime story.
Every question answered.
The guiding.
The listening.
The showing up over and over again.
Staying calm when everyone else is overwhelmed.
Remembering everything for everyone.

And somehow, in the middle of all of it, still creating a life that feels safe, warm, and full of love.

So often, mothers are the ones holding all of it together while barely existing in the memories themselves. And that’s why it feels like such an honor to document these seasons for mothers and their children.

Because one day these photos become reminders not just of how this season looked, but of how it felt.

The way they reached for your hand.
The way they looked at you.
The feeling of home you created around them.

Because moms deserve to be in the frame too.

All motherhood sessions booked through June will be 15% off ♡

For the women who spend so much of their lives creating memories for everyone else.

Moms, grandmas, aunties, bonus moms, moms to be, fur mamas, and all the women loving and nurturing the little ones around them… this is for you.

Psssst… you don’t need a special occasion to book a photoshoot! Just because is reason enough 😌 Every day is worth celebrating and one day you'll be so glad you have these moments to hold onto

If you’ve been thinking about it… this is your sign ✨

A little reminder that your home can be one of the best locations for your family photos! This mom was getting ready for deployment and wanted photos of life exactly as it is. The kids wore what they were already wearing to school, the house stayed just as it normally looks, and we documented the energy and rhythm of their everyday life (baking cookies included!) so she could look back on these while she was away and feel close to these moments, carrying a piece of home with her.

My in home sessions are all about capturing your family in the comfort of your own space, documenting your real life as it naturally unfolds. Because one day, it’s these seemingly simple moments you’ll treasure most ✨Comment HOME if you’re interested in getting more info on these sessions 🤗

And a special shoutout to this incredible woman, Alexis Travis | Navy Officer + Wife + Mom Thank you for your service, your strength, and the sacrifices you make for our country 🙏
