As many of you already know, I’m scaling back on outdoor family sessions this year 🤍

I opened a very limited number of dates for late summer through October—and most have already been claimed.

At this point, I have just 5 spots remaining.

All sessions are scheduled at sunset for the most beautiful, soft light you see in my work 

If you’ve been thinking about working together this year, this is truly your moment. Once these final dates are gone, they’re gone.

If you’re not sure of your schedule yet, that’s okay. A retainer will hold your spot, and we’ll choose your date once you have a better idea of your availability.

These last few spots always go quickly, and I would love to capture your family before they’re gone

Motherhood Sessions are now open 🤍

This is your moment to be in the frame.

Motherhood is made up of the quiet, fleeting moments—the way your little ones reach for you, the softness, the connection… and it all deserves to be remembered.

I’ve created something truly special to capture just that.

Session Dates:
Saturday, April 25
Sunday, April 26

Held in my Long Grove studio with a soft, timeless, and neutral aesthetic designed to keep the focus on you and your babies.

These sessions are perfect for:
• Moms with their children
• Expecting mamas
• Grandmothers + generational portraits

A curated collection of beautiful, neutral dresses will be available for moms, and I’ll guide you through the entire process so it feels effortless and natural.

I’m currently finishing the setup — it will be simple, soft, and angelic with creams and dreamy neutrals. I’ll be sharing a preview next week 🤍

My goal is to have your images ready in time for Mother’s Day — something meaningful you can cherish forever.
