Before you will all of those sleepless nights and slow, dragging days to pass as quickly as possible, make sure you capture the parts of them you wish didn’t.

Because eventually we’re all left with snippets of memories, tired bodies, and the word, “how”.

Now excuse me while I go sob over my youngest about to start kindergarten when I felt like his hands were this tiny yesterday 😭

“Photography becomes more meaningful when you realize the simple fact that you’ll never photograph the same moment twice.

Every photograph is proof that a moment existed exactly once. The light, the people the feeling, even the version of you standing behind the camera will never exist in quite the same way again.

This is what gives photography its weight. You are not creating an image. You are preserving something that was already vanishing the second you noticed it.

Years from now, the photograph may become more valuable than it felt when you took it. Places change, people change. You change. But for one frame, everything stays exactly as it was.

Maybe that is why we photograph at all. Not because we can stop time, but because we know we cannot. A photograph is our small way of saying: this happened, I was here, and I noticed.”

-Beautiful words by Casey Herzog

Many people remember to photograph the younger days- the days when milestones all felt brand new. But then things get busy and the milestones seem to pass faster, and setting time aside for photos when your children are grown seems a little less important. But it’s true that ALL moments are already vanishing the second you notice them. And it’s so important to be able to say, “I noticed.”

This particular segment of our session didn’t last long- but it’s not because anyone was upset, grumpy, or bored. It was because ice cream melts on relentlessly hot days 🤪 But sticky hands, stained clothes, and help from mom & dad made for one happy toddler AND some of my favorite photos of the night 💛

Embrace the mess, always.

Been documenting this little family from their engagement → wedding → maternity 1 → newborn 1 → maternity 2 → newborn 2 (incoming 😉) and even the smaller milestones in between. Every time I think about it, it makes my heart so full.

Beyond grateful for families like this one who continue to invite me back to witness every beautiful, transformative year after another.

Ali described their vibe as “folk tale, American Gothic, dream sequence, Victorian curiosity cabinet”. So that was a quick hard yes for me. And all of it on the land where they are building their dream house and wildflower field.

Swipe to the end to see the epic idea that started it all. To say we had fun is an understatement.

“One day you will look back and realize your photographs tell the story of a life that was lived. A life that went places. Celebrated milestones. Noticed little things. Loved people deeply. Found reasons to laugh. Paused for sunsets. Held on to beautiful little details of life because they mattered too. And when that day comes, those photographs will gently remind you: Look how beautiful your life has been.” Krista Kowalczyk | Photo Organizing Advocate

I’ll never stop loving in-home sessions. While often thought of as a cold weather option, they are honestly the perfect backdrop year round.

Whether it’s sunshine pouring through your windows in June, backyard playtime in August, cozy mornings in October, or the sparkling lights of December, they are always comfortable, personal, and very much a part of your story.

If you’ve been thinking about booking your maternity session but worry about weather, how your kids will stay invested, or how a long flowy dress doesn’t feel like “you”, these in-home sessions are the perfect option. Fun and engaging. Effortless and real. Casual, but just as dreamy.

We captured so much during this session that this is only part ONE! Too many beautiful moments, the other half will need its own post 🙈

My fall calendar is officially open and I’m currently booking maternity sessions through December! If you are due in January, February, or even March, now is the time secure a spot on my calendar. Weekends are filling fast and you don’t want to miss your window. If you’re unsure of the best timeline for you, message me and I can help you through all of it 🤎

The results of our first session of the evening for this year’s Illuminate Shootout and we had too much fun 🤩

Always love collaborating with my girl to make our visions come to life and this time we even got to work with who totally understood the assignment and put together the perfect style board! So grateful to our attendees who came out to learn and create with us. What a perfect night 💫

Manifesting sessions with more fun family traditions this summer! Have a fun idea? Let’s make it happen cap’n
