From a strong chance of rain to a breathtaking sunset! Weather is the one thing out of your control when planning your wedding. I know it feels easier said than done, but don’t stress over it. Stress won’t change the outcome, and again, it’s fully out of your control. Choosing not to worry over weather allows you so much more room to feel peace and remain present in the happy moments. No matter what the weather decides to do, you still get married and that’s what’s important anyway 💛

One of the questions I get asked often is whether newborn sessions happen in-home or in the studio. Let’s me break down the pros of each. While both can be beautiful, there are so many benefits to choosing a studio session!

For me as a photographer, the studio provides consistent natural light, neutral tones, and a clean, timeless environment. That consistency helps me create the bright, true-to-life images and editing style my clients know and love.

For families, it means one less thing to think about during those busy newborn days. No need to tidy the house, worry about what’s in the background, manage curious pets, or stress about having enough natural light. Just pack up baby, show up, and let me take care of the rest.

The result? A relaxed experience and timeless images that keep the focus exactly where it belongs—on your newest little love. 🤍

I can remember how absolutely wild it was to see my body change as a little baby grew before my eyes. Some days felt amazing, others you’d find me sick or passed out from exhaustion, most days I felt so beautiful, other days I felt huge. Overall, I felt lucky, because I loved being pregnant. Now that Drew is six (🥹) it’s been fun to show him photos from when I was pregnant and talk about how excited we were to meet him. It’s made me SO glad to have them!
