Handsome Elias was one of the happiest babies that I photographed. Look at his smile. Such an adorable one year old!

This past year was full of tiny moments that didn’t feel big at the time —
a sleepy newborn stretch, a messy cake smash, shy smiles, giggles that lasted only seconds ♥️
Memories fade.
The details soften.
But photos don’t✨
They freeze the in-between moments we forget we’ll miss.
They remind us how small they once were, how fast everything changed.
They bring us back to seasons we didn’t know we’d be nostalgic for yet.
As I look back at this year’s sessions, I’m reminded why printing photos matters so much.
Because one day, these images won’t just be photos —
they’ll be proof of love, growth, and time passing far too quickly.
Here’s to a year full of stories, families, and moments that deserve to be remembered —
not just in our hearts, but in our hands. 📖✨

Some sessions mean a little more ♥️.
Watching this family grow—from photographing their first baby girl as a newborn, to documenting the maternity journey and the newborn moments for their second—fills my heart in the deepest way.
Being trusted again and again to witness these moments, especially welcoming two beautiful girls into one family, is something I never take lightly 🤍
This is why I do what I do 😍

She didn’t wait for the “right time.”
She showed up as she is. ✨
This session was about honoring herself, her journey, and this season of life ♥️

Christmas sessions like this fill my heart✨.
A happy baby girl and her loving parents — sharing giggles, cuddles, and those tiny little expressions that make winter feel warmer.
So grateful I get to freeze these moments in time. ✨🎄❤️
