Mariana | Maternity

Maternity + Newborn bundles are honestly some of my favorite bundles - Watching you go from a glowing mama to be to a mama of a newborn, is truly remarkable to be invited in to capture your memories. Mama used one of my dresses from my client closet in addition to her open belly dress!

I love everything about this session and then I was able to capture her new baby for a petite newborn session too!

Did you book your bundle yet?

Michella | Motherhood

Capturing moms + their daughters will always have a special place in my heart, since I have 3. But this duo is one of my favorites. The first session I ever captured for them was London’s 5th birthday and since then, I have captured more than handful sessions of them, prayed with them, and Michella has modeled for me a couple times. Clients that have turned into friends and continue to choose me to capture their sessions over and over will forever have a special place in my heart.

Did you book your motherhood mini yet? What are you waiting for? Your baby will change within the next year, the next month and then that time now is gone. And I promise you this, your kid doesn’t care what you look like, they care how you make them feel. So capture the session. Book the mini. And Ill see you this year!

Danielle | Motherhood

Motherhood Minis are honestly some of my favorite sessions. And when it’s family, it means even more. I love watching my cousins turn into parents. These little girls remind me of Danielle + her sister when they were little. I know the girls are still tiny but watching history re-write itself is honestly, amazing.

Danielle and my family spent all our major holidays together and as we’ve grown up, we’ve been able to stay in touch. It’s been really fun watching her go from a kid to an adult to a mom. All the milestones just create this newness of adulthood that started in childhood that you cant explain until you live it.

Did you book your motherhood mini yet? What are you waiting for?

Sylvie | Petite Newborn

When mama reached out to me about Sylvie’s newborn session I was so excited! You see, mama and I went to high school together and while we weren’t really friends in high school, and don’t talk much now, when you grow up in a small town everyone just kind of feels like family and like your best friend all the time and forever. It doesn’t matter how much time has passed, it never feels like time has passed at all.

Ms. Sylvie also has a veteran dad and when mom said she wanted something to incorporate dad’s military career, we made it happen. Again, I LOVE making these sessions about you and what you want, because you are hiring me to capture this session for you. These are going up on YOUR walls, not mine. While I do style them to my brand, you still get to choose your colors and if you want anything added, incorporated and get the final say in your set ups.

This was a petite newborn session so baby stayed wrapped the entire session and it is a baby only session. From start to finish this session took about an hour. I set up my studio in my living room and was able to get started as soon as mom and dad arrived. Little miss absolutely rocked it.

Currently booking newborns into October 2025 - which is absolutely wild to say. The best time to book is during your second trimester!

Sarah | Maternity

I was so excited but also so confused when Sarah reached out to book a motherhood mini as a maternity session. Let me explain. My mom had a “daycare” when I was little and Sarah + her siblings were some of my mom’s daycare kids. It makes me feel absolutely old that not only is she married, but that she is now a mom. I hate when people tell me, “I remember when you were little” but also that’s exactly how I felt during this session. I remember when she was like 5 and her brother was a toddler and she had a baby sister. How can I still be 16 but also a whole adult and the babies I knew as a teen are now adults? lol

Sometimes I really wonder how I am a whole adult? 3 kids, a business, a husband, homeschooling mama, etc. How? How can I be in charge of human lives but still be/feel like a child myself? … anyone else?

Okay that was a little too honest of a brain dump, but seriously, she was stunning!

Vivian | Full Newborn

I am so happy I had the pleasure of capturing Ms. Vivian’s newborn session. Mama had one request, flags + dog tags from her grandparents. As a military family ourselves, I always take these requests. I absolutely love incorporating something special into your sessions. Whether it’s a family heirloom, a name blanket or a kitchen aid mixer, I love being able to make your sessions YOURS and unique to you.

Mama also wanted me to bring the studio to her! So her entire session was shot in their living room. They booked a full newborn session which includes table/n a k e d poses as well as wraps, siblings, + family. From pulling into the driveway to leaving, including set up time I think I was there for about 3 hours.

The best part, is I get to watch little Vivian grow up over the next year because mama booked a BeanSprout package! So stay tuned for her entire first year!

Ready to get your session on my schedule? Booking newborns into September!

Emilia | Petite Newborn

Mama booked a maternity + newborn bundle and I absolutely loved capturing those memories for them. Mama chose a petite newborn session for her newborn which is a wrapped baby only session and I was able to bring the studio to them. Her entire gallery was shot in a small dining room in their home while they visited with family, and I spent an hour with little Emilia an captured these memories for them.

For my petite newborn session I attempt 3 wrapping techniques; huck fin, full potato and toes peeking. I also bring a couple different props as well as both my wood and white floor. I ended up not using my white floor for this session because I didn’t have the space for it.

Want a studio session but don’t want to leave the house? let me bring the studio the you!

Valentines Day 2025

We may be a little late, but hey, better late than never yeah? Maybe? When I first got my camera in 2017 I started a calendar of doing a photo every month of my oldest. And then at the end of the year, I would make a calendar for our family members for Christmas. This has been a tradition for years now, and it is one of my favorite things to do now. It makes taking photos of my girls a priority at least once a month, to make sure I have something for their calendars!

Megan [Family]

This family has been with me since their maternity session with their oldest and it is so much fun to watch their family grow. I have captured so many memories for them and I continue to just be in awe of their family and the beauty in which they all are. The boys are adorable and mom + dad never fail to showcase their love.

This year they booked a mini session during my VW Bus Fall Minis this year back in October and while I am tossing around releasing all my mini dates for next year soon, I wanted to touch base on an important topics and that is “Is 15 minutes enough with my 2+ kiddos?” and the answer will always be YES!

Now, I get it, as a mom of three myself sometimes its hard to imagine your kids being good for a session for 15 minutes and listening, BUT we move so fast through prompts and posing that they actually THRIVE in this environment. I find it harder with just one kid for a mini than a family with multiple kids.

I start the session with very posed everyone smile and look at me and then go from prompt to prompt to prompt and then end with mom + dad/partner. We move so fast through prompts that the kids dont really have time to be bored AND they see it as a game!

So if you like the set or the location and are hesitant to book, JUST DO IT! Because you will never know if you dont try and I promise at minimum, I will have a handful of usable images for you at the end! ;)

Clara [Outdoor Newborn]

I know I know, Its only December but now is the time when all my late spring and early summer mama’s are booking their maternity and newborn sessions, so now is the time to tell you if you wanted to book a bundle, now is the time! But also, if you want to do an outdoor newborn session for your lifestyle session, that is also 100% an option in the warmer months.

For an outdoor newborn session I treat this as a normal family session but with an itty tiny baby. This is perfect honestly if you have older siblings, so they can run and play and have a normal family session experience but also if its just you, your partner and the babe!

Clara’s session was one of my first outdoor newborn sessions last year and it really made me just want to do outdoor newborns all the time. It was so fun, big sis was able to be a toddler, mom and dad were able to just relax and I still got to capture a handful of posed, wrapped in a prop shots!

Why book an outdoor newborn? Because its not traditional, you dont need to clean your home or make sure everything is perfect. We dont have to book a studio so theres no studio fee AND its just nice to be outside!

Lets go!

Ezra | The G r i n c h

I let me kiddos choose their birthday themes and every year and this year for my daughters 3rd she chose the green monster also known as the G r i n c h! It was absolutely adorable but I had such a hard time figuring out where to go for her photos because her birthday is at the end of January so most Holiday set ups were torn down already. So I just did a basic studio session with a plain background and photoshopped one!

So, Happy December 1st!

Stacey [Family]

Can I bring my dogs to the session? YES! I love it when you bring your dogs because I realize they are part of the family too, especially if they are your kids! I have captured this family and their dogs almost every year for the past 4 or 5 years and in the process they have lost one dog and got a new one. I LOVE being able to capture these moments and memories especially when things like losses happen.

As long as the location will allow dogs, you are more than welcome to bring them! Just bring someone with you to take the dog or plan on tying them up at some point so we can focus on just the human family too!

xoxo

McKinley | Gabby's Dollhouse

As you should know at this point, I let my kiddos choose their birthday themes every year and with that, I do a photoshoot for them to the theme that they have chosen. All my kids absolutely love this! This year my middle chose Gabby’s Dollhouse!

Until next year for her, but did you hear? I am doing a Black Fiday sale for Milestone sessions to capture a fun themed session for YOUR kiddo in 2025! Interested in booking? Fill out the contact form on my contact page!

Amanda [Maternity]

When Amanda reached out to me about her maternity + newborn session I was so excited to hear her story. Her entire story is not mine to tell, but just KNOWING that this person wants to have this baby so badly and is SO excited about it, is sometimes just such a good change of pace. The amount of couples that struggle with fertility is so high and when one of those couples finally conceives a baby, the entire mood and excitement and JOY around this baby is palpable.

I cannot wait to meet this baby when they are earthside next month!

Alessia [Newborn]

Did you know that I offer an in home newborn session option? I DO! I actually have 3! I offer an in home lifestyle newborn session where your family is the center focus with minimal interruptions by me and just allowing your family to be as is with a new bundle in the home.

I also offer a FULL newborn session - this is a studio experience in the comfort of your home! I bring everything to you and you just relax while I work with baby. Get ready while I take the first couple hours to just capture baby in an outfit, naked or wrapped and then end with family - more relaxed as we are in your home and not the studio.

And then finally, I offer a petite wrapped session. This session is a baby only session and what Ms. Alessia’s mom booked for her!

I sent mom my newborn questionnaire that tells me a couple colors you want me to use, which images are the most important, which prop preferences you have and which wood backdrops you prefer. I am able to bring “the studio” to you! The petite wrapped session is great if you just want to capture baby in this moment but dont want to spend a couple hours waiting for baby to be done. We capture about 2-3 wrapping techniques with 2-3 props, a flokati (rug) and I try to get a couple wrapped shots on the table as well if baby lets me!

This session overall time took about 2 hours. It took me about a half hour to set up and a half hour to pack back up and then about an hour with baby. This is such a good option if you want a studio feel but dont want to leave your house and dont want a full session just a couple images to capture how small your baby is.

Personality Mini [Franklin]

These two are some of my favorite sisters! And I ABSOLUTELY love how this black and white mini captured their little personalities. Sometimes with full color images you get lost in the clothes, the background etc but when you change an image to black and white it takes away so much of the distraction and really leaves you with raw emotion.

First up, little Miss Tessa! I have photographed this babe since she was a newborn - captured her entire first year and now I get to see her continually for family sessions and minis throughout the year. I LOVE being able to capture and watch your children grow, it is such an honor to be able to be brought into your lives to capture all the little moments that you keep and cherish forever.

Next we have big sis Willa! I have been photographing Willa since her first birthday and again, it has been so much fun watching these kids continue to grow and blossom into their own people. This is also a family that started off as clients and quickly became friends and these girls and my girls adore each other and its been so fun watching their relationships grow too.

Dont miss the change to capture their little personalities! I promise you they will change year to year!

xoxo,

Nina

Chelsea [Family]

One of my favorite things about family sessions, is that every single one of them is different. Even if I do similar poses and prompts, no two family sessions are ever the same. This was no exception. The more kiddos, the better and toddlers will forever be my jam. Bring me all your chaos!

I also always try and get a couple images of just mom and dad because without you, there would not be any kiddos.

xoxo

Nina

Sterling Family [Simple Studio]

Is there anything better than just keeping it simple and allowing your family to just shine? No. The answer is no. Little Miss CeCe + her parents came to see me during a simple mini session and honestly, I just love the simplicity of the entire session. CeCe’s personality shines, you can see and focus on her and her smile and you can feel the love her parents have for her! Sometimes simple is better.

I mean, does it honestly get cuter than that?

Alice in Wonderland [Spooky Season]

Breanna (my make up artist) and I have been working together for a few years and her Halloween make up is top tier. 2 years ago we did skeleton family and witches and then last year we wanted to take a different turn and do something a little more family friendly, Alice in Wonderland, but from the live action with Johnny Depp!

I brainstormed and photographed the session while Breanna and her family modeled and she did their make up. Overall, we both were incredibly happy with the result!

Jack + Sally [Spooky Season]

Our family has a recent obsession with The Nightmare Before Christmas movie and I am so bummed that I did not find it sooner. From the first time we watched the movie we were pretty obsessed; from the movie to the soundtrack. So this year while I was planning my content day for Halloween I knew that I needed to do a Jack and Sally.

I contact my MUA Breanna and we got to work planning and getting out models (Evan + Heather) prepared and ready.

Come the day of the photoshoot, it ended up being the perfect day. The models delivered on their outfits and 100% made it work and Breanna without fail knocked their make up out of the park and the location I chose worked really well for what we visioned for the session.

This is year 3 for Breanna and I being partners in a Halloween Content Day and I already cannot wait for next year!

Happy Halloween!
