I’ve updated my pricing and packages. Basically, I’ve eliminated my YEAR-in-the-life session, added a fabulous, new, zero-waste album with every session, AND most excitingly, I’ve actually decreased my prices!! I know photography is a luxury item, but I’m really passionate about what I do and want to keep it as accessible as I possibly can 💚
While it’s incredibly difficult at times, not to mention costly, I’m working hard toward a zero waste personal lifestyle and business. What does that mean? Basically, working to eliminate plastic from my life. Sadly, it’s practically impossible, but I am making changes where I can and I’m beyond excited to have found a Certified B Corporation that prints gorgeous albums on 100% post-consumer recycled paper AND plants a tree with each purchase!

Environmental portraits or authentic portraits, as I like to call them, are my favorite kinds of portraits. There is nothing staged or fake about them. These are the portraits that capture a person’s aura. That you look back on with such incredible fondness and oftentimes, a generous helping of laughter as well! Do you have environmental portraits of your favorite people? 💓
For fear of sounding like a broken record, I’m am leaving Facebook and Instagram at the end of the month. I’m using February to try and spread the word and then come March, I will disappear from FB and IG. My main online presence thenceforth will be my website, though I’m giving Bluesky a shot too. To try to encourage people to migrate over to my little corner of the web and stay in the know, I’m having a giveaway! Click to see what you can win and how to enter 🥳
Valentine’s Day is just around the corner, but my gift ideas will work for pretty much any birthday/holiday and any budget! Hope ALL your days are full of love, not just February 14, and that you’re able to capture photos every now and again, one way or another, of your love story. #youreverydayisworthit!
I’m doing it. I’m leaving Facebook and Instagram. I’ve been dreaming of leaving social media for a long time. I will, of course, still have my website. So you can always find me here. And I’m planning on blogging more frequently than in the past… with updates, deals, inspiration, and more! To make sure you don’t miss anything (like is so common with social media), I’ve added a subscribe button at the bottom of all my blog posts so you can sign up to get an email every time I post something on my little corner of the web here! And fear not, I don’t see myself posting any more than weekly (if that!).
When it comes to your home, the kitchen is one of the rooms where you spend the majority of your time. Known as the ‘heart of the home’; it’s where families cook, eat, gather, socialize, and even work (thanks, Covid). Why NOT take family photos in your kitchen? Following are some of my all-time favorite frames that I’ve taken in kitchens. Enjoy!
I totally get that couples want to document every little part of their wedding day. They want coverage first thing in the morning when they start getting ready into the evening as the celebration picks up. And, of course, every little moment and detail in between. What I don’t understand is why it ends there. The wedding is just the beginning of your journey together. Why is it also, overwhelmingly, the last day that people document in its entirety?
Hey! I’m gonna try something new here… kinda like the opposite of congestion pricing. I’m going to offer a 50% discount on my nano, mini, and half day sessions if you book on a weekday (to be more specific, a school day) between 9am and 3pm. With my family all doing their own things during the day, that is the ideal time that I’d like to be be doing my own thing…. which is making artwork of your fantastically beautiful and weird family, of course. So, to try and fill up my days where I’m all dressed up with no place to go (like this little dude), I’m offering a lovely little discount… idle pricing, if you will 😉
