I’ve had a handful of sessions this past week or two in my new farmhouse studio space and its been SUCH a joy working there in the light and bright, airy space! Its such a fun space where I can mix both studio and natural light in each session and I’m super excited to share with you all!
Once the signs go up and the upstairs office space is complete, I’ll do a part II of this blog post!

Been photographing this mama & her son since he was a few months old. Falling in love with my clients is an occupational hazzard - I can`t help it! Just the best job ever to document familys` connection year after year.
If you haven`t heard: I`m doing away with the 3-year rule! Covid was absolute craziness for me. I was completely overwhelmed with work and while it was a huge financial blessing to my family for me to work so much, I am SO glad things have gotten back to normal with the pace of business and the balance of life it has afforded me. So if you`re a client from my past and in need of a photoshoot with your "older" kiddos (older than 3, that is!), DM me. I`ve missed you. I would LOVE to see you again!

Wanna see a recent full gallery? These boys were born early so 3 months old when they came into the studio for their newborn portraits right around their actual due date. Dad was back to work so luckily Grandmother came to lend a helping hand- we will ALWAYS take ANY grammy help we can have!
Some afternoons feel easy in the best way. Soft grass underfoot, light filtering through the trees, and a family settling into time together without needing to rush. This session was full of laughter, gentle movement, and moments that unfolded with care and intention.
From lifted smiles and curious little expressions to the way parents naturally lean toward one another, every part of this time felt thoughtful and connected. With guidance and space to be present, these moments came together into something that feels honest and lasting.

These are the kinds of moments that feel both gentle and full. A baby finding her balance, a big sister leaning in close, parents smiling as everything comes together in a way that feels natural and connected. With soft light and thoughtful guidance, the session unfolded into something calm, joyful, and personal.
It is always the small details that linger. Tiny expressions, shared glances, and the feeling of being fully present with the people who matter most. These are the memories that have a way of growing more meaningful with time.

Some seasons feel especially tender.
This session unfolded so naturally. Siblings discovering each other, parents soaking in the joy right in front of them, and all those little in between moments that say everything without even trying. Nothing feels forced. Nothing feels rushed. There`s nothing but love, curiosity, and the quiet magic of being together exactly as you are.
These are the chapters that become the heart of a family’s story.

There are sessions that feel calm from the very first moment, like everything is moving at its own pace. This one felt exactly like that. Soft light, open space, and two people fully settled into this season of their lives, letting the afternoon unfold as it was meant to.
And then, the story shifted. A pause, a smile, a question, and a yes. What began as a maternity session became something even more layered, capturing the love that is growing inside of her belly along with the commitment surrounding it.
These are the moments I love most. Honest, unplanned, and filled with meaning, just as they are.

Super excited about a collaborative event coming next month for anyone who has been wanting classy budoir with that light bright airy feel. Michele Wolff & I are working together for a woman-empowerment budoir day in the SCP studio and need 2 budoir models to work with this coming Friday 1/30. All the info is in this post`s slides. Dm if you have questions and stay tuned for something incredible! We are so excited to work together on this event 📸
So much of what I do is rooted in trust. When a family comes back again and again, inviting me into new chapters of their story, it means more than I can put into words.
Juliana, thank you for your kind words and for trusting me to capture such meaningful moments along the way. From pregnancy to what comes next, it is truly an honor to be part of it all.
Grateful for families who allow me to do this work.

This season of waiting holds so much quiet beauty.
The anticipation, the softness, the way everything begins to feel a little more intentional as what is coming into view feels closer and more real.
This maternity session felt elegant and personal, blending timeless studio portraits with moments that reflect the story already unfolding.
There is something powerful about honoring this chapter before it shifts, holding space for both what has been and what is about to begin.

Evenings like this hold a certain kind of energy, the kind that invites movement, laughter, and space to just be together.
This outdoor family session felt playful and relaxed from the start, with little ones leading the way, parents soaking it in, and their dog right there alongside them, exactly where they belong. There was no pressure to pause or perfect anything, just room to explore and enjoy the moment as it unfolded.
Sessions like this are a reminder that some of the most meaningful memories happen while you’re simply moving through a place you love with the people, and pets, who make it feel like home.

This sweet little babe fit right into their arms as if they had always been there. Wrapped in white, tucked close, and completely at ease, they became the quiet center of the room.
Big brother’s excitement showed in every smile and glance, while mom and dad held their new baby with that calm confidence that comes from already knowing love in this new way. These early days are gentle, fleeting, and full of moments you want to remember exactly as they are.
This session was a beautiful reflection of the beginning. Simple, connected, and filled with so much heart.

This winter has been a cold one, and lately I have been catching myself daydreaming about sessions like this.
This family spent an October afternoon moving through this beautiful space together, letting the season do what it does best. The colors were rich, the air felt easy, and everything about the session reflected where they are right now as a family.
Looking back at these images in the middle of January makes me even more excited to get back outdoors again. There is something about photographing families in places like this that feels grounding and full of life, and this session is a perfect reminder of why I love it so much.

Thank you for your sharing. I am worried that I lack creative ideas. It is your article that makes me full of hope. Thank you. But, I have a question, can you help me?
I don’t think the title of your article matches the content lol. Just kidding, mainly because I had some doubts after reading the article.
