❤️ Your children deserve photographs that prove you were there, too.

Not always behind the camera. Not cropped out. Right beside them—laughing, loving, and creating the memories they’ll someday treasure.

When was the last time you were photographed with your children?

🍂 Their first fall happens only once. What is one little detail you never want to forget?

The tiny fingers, sleepy smiles and way they fit perfectly in your arms will change before the leaves do.

🚪 Your next opportunity may begin with your photograph.

Before someone reads your résumé, visits your website, or schedules a call, your headshot is already introducing you.

Does yours still represent the professional you are today?
Your headshot should be updated every year. We all change...if your headshot says 2016....call me!

Message HEADSHOT to update your first impression.

SANTA.... Let's say STRANGER DANGER
🎅 To us, he’s Santa. To your toddler, he’s a giant bearded stranger asking them to sit on his lap. 😂

So yes…sometimes STRANGER DANGER wins.

They may sit on Santa’s lap. They may sit five feet away. They may hide behind you—or decide Santa should stay in an entirely different zip code.

Enter me: your photographer with 18 years of preschool-teacher magic up my sleeve. ✨

The beauty of the Private Santa Experience is time. Time to warm up. Time to explore. Time to play without a crowd watching or a line rushing you. No forced smiles and no requirement to sit on Santa’s lap.

Because even when your little one keeps a very safe distance, we can still capture the wonder, the personality, and the perfectly imperfect story your family will laugh about for years.

That is the real magic: meeting your child exactly where they are and preserving Christmas exactly as it felt. ❤️

How do you think your child will react to Santa—best friends, cautious observer, or absolutely not? Tell me below!

Message SANTA to reserve your family’s Private Santa Experience before the remaining appointments disappear. 🎄

☕ Warning: this Hot Cocoa may contain dangerously high levels of Christmas cuteness.

Tiny hands, marshmallow cheeks, curious little smiles—and one oversized cocoa cup that makes everything even more adorable. 🎄

Our Hot Cocoa Petite Sessions are designed to capture the sweet, silly personality your child has right now. Because before you know it, those tiny toes will reach the floor, the baby giggles will sound different, and they’ll be asking for their Starbucks coffee mobile order.

The marshmallows will disappear. The decorations will be packed away. But these photographs will always bring you back to how little they were this Christmas.

Message me COCOA for session details, available dates, and the booking link.

🎄 This is the only first Christmas they will ever have.

Next Christmas, they’ll be sitting, crawling, walking—or possibly helping you undecorate the tree one ornament at a time. 😂

But this year, they still fit perfectly in your arms. Their tiny fingers curl around yours. Their little toes peek out beneath the fluffiest Santa suit—and everything about Christmas feels new because you’re experiencing it through them.

Let’s preserve just how small they were during their very first holiday season.

Our client closet includes adorable holiday pieces to transform your little one into the sweetest Baby Santa or tiny Mrs. Claus, without adding another outfit to your Christmas shopping list. 🎅

One day, these photographs won’t simply show you what your baby looked like. They’ll bring back how it felt to hold them when they were this little.

What part of your baby’s first Christmas are you most excited to experience?
Tell me below.

Message me FIRST CHRISTMAS for session details, available dates, and the booking link.

Some stories are told with paws, whiskers, feathers—and a whole lot of heart. 🐾

I’m excited to share PAWthor: Tails From The Heart, a new book featuring photographs and short stories told from the pets’ own perspectives. Meet their personalities, favorite things, funny quirks, and the people they love.

The funny, touching, and unforgettable stories they’ve been waiting to tell.

The book will be available November 23, and preorders are open now!

Swipe for what Christmas with a newborn really feels like… 😂🎄

One tiny family member who clearly did not receive the Silent Night memo. 🍼
Silent night? The baby has other plans. 😂🎄

Mom and Dad finally fell asleep, but their tiny new supervisor is wide awake and ready to discuss tonight’s feeding schedule.

The newborn season is beautiful, exhausting, and over far too quickly. One day, you won’t remember exactly how tired you were—but you’ll want to remember those bright little eyes, sleepy snuggles, and how perfectly they fit between you.

Newborn moms and dads, how are you really doing? Finish this sentence in the comments:

“I knew I was sleep-deprived when…” 😴

And if you want to remember this beautiful blur, message me NEWBORN to start planning your session.
