Sweet baby Alessia came to celebrate her big ONE and she brought all the smiles with her!This happy little one had an absolute blast during her session—from the cutest portraits to the fun (and messy!) cake smash at the end. 🎂

Her mama found me while searching for a photographer nearby and instantly connected with the aesthetic of my work. It means so much when new families find their way to me this way!

As always, everything you see—outfits, props, and that darling setup—was provided to make the experience easy and stress-free.

Meet beautiful baby Bailey — 20 days new and absolutely perfect 🫶

She is a rainbow baby 🌈 a little light after a deep loss. Her mama carried her with so much love and strength after losing a baby girl before her. Bailey’s arrival is a reminder of hope, healing, and the incredible bond that love creates.

She is already so deeply loved and adored by her big sisters and her whole family.

Welcome to the world, baby girl. You are truly a gift 🎀

Sweet baby Alejandro was just 12 days old when he came to see me—and he was absolutely perfect. So calm, so cuddly, and so good to me the entire session. 💙

What made this session even more special? I had the joy of photographing his big sister as a newborn and again for her one-year milestone. Watching families grow and having them come back to me year after year is truly one of the greatest honors of this work.

Welcome to the world, baby Alejandro—you are so loved already. 🤍
