I love you!
I just wanted to write a blog post to tell you something. I love you! (Not in a romantic way, but in a strictly platonic manner, of course!) Now, I know it sounds cheesy. It may even sound weird to you. I thought long and hard about whether I should send this email out because it does seem pretty random. But I’m going to say it anyway…
I Have A Quick Question For You...
I have a quick question that I need your opinion on. I hope you don’t mind! I am asking you this because I want to serve you better and your feedback helps SO much! I recently asked a client and her answer blew my mind. She told me that having wardrobe, hair & makeup was great, but what she loved most was how comfortable I helped…

Portraits That Show So Much Love
This was one of those photoshoots that photographers dream about. Everyone was so happy to be there, the kids behaved well, and there was nothing but love shown by everyone the whole time. While mama and baby were getting ready for newborn photos, I started photographing the older siblings while they waited patiently. Then dad jumped…
Keep Dreaming
Keep dreaming. Close your eyes and get a vision for your life of what you want it to be, what story you want it to tell, what song you want it to sing. Remind your soul of why you’re here. Get to know the answer to the question of why you were made. And every single day, tell that back to yourself. Your life has value. You are on purpose. Dream bigger…
The Legacy of Photographs
I’m sure you know that feeling, when you look at photographs from when your Mom was little, when your Grandma was first going to school, when your Great-Grandma was being married, and your heart glows? That somehow there is this connection that you feel just in having those pictures with worn-out edges and corners sitting in your palm…
What If We Were Actually Richer With Less?
Sometimes we hurry so much. We are running around and our minds are racing. We’re consuming and we’re collecting, building empires we don’t really need. What if we were actually richer with less? What if our lives became richer not by what we’re collecting and consuming, but with the people we hang out with and the fire…
Mama, You Are So Important
Mama, you are nurturing, loving, and kind. You’re there every step of the way, watching your little ones grow. Some parts will be difficult, but others will be miraculous. You’re proud of your little ones and want nothing but the best for them. You’re a primary caretaker. You’re loving and caring for your babies every day, all day. Mothers are so…

Safety is #1 for all of us right now. I'm taking all precautions I can to maintain a sterile environment at my studio so that my littlest clients and their families are protected. Here are the health and safety measures that I'm following in the studio to prevent the spread of COVID-19. Before each session, I'll regularly monitor my temperature. I ask that…
What's It Like Being A Parent Right Now?
What's it like being a parent right now? It’s harder than ever. But don’t forget about grace, mama. Grace is extravagant favour we're given though we did nothing to deserve it. And this extravagant grace has such a way of holding us close. Grabbing us from the crazy of the day and holding us still. These days we're sitting at home, unable to travel…
Did You Know Photographs Are Powerful Love Letters?
Sometimes I like to look through old photographs. And not digital ones, but physical ones. Ones that I can hold in my hand running my thumb over memories and faces. Where I can feel torn corners and flip it over to read notes in cursive writing of names and places and ages. It’s almost like I am reading love letters from the years that have…
Grace For You During This Difficult Time
I know you’re out there comparing yourself to the other moms. I know you’re checking out how parents are making this at-home, all day, every day thing work during the pandemic. I know this because I’m doing it too. Depending on the ages and stages of your child, special needs and preferences, there are challenges. And…
