Some call them “kids personality portraits”, some call them more “heirloom portraits”, I just call them a ton of fun! :) This is the first year that I’ve offered these mini sessions, and they’ve been such a big hit! There is such magic in each different stage of their childhood— from the chunky infant cheeks, the curious toddler looks, the ‘throw your head back’ belly laugh that some day turns into a more reserved laugh once they hit those pre-teen years, the sassy teenage eye roll when they’re trying not to giggle at you… it’s all worth remembering.

it amazes me every time just how fast that first year flies by, and it feels like just yesterday we were taking their maternity portraits as they waited for sweet Mia to arrive! I had the joy of documenting their maternity, newborn, 6 month, and now first birthday portraits, and it’s the sweetest gift to get to know a family over such a special year.
these two knew they wanted those classic DC engagement portraits to mark this exciting season, and man oh man did that vision come to life!

This year’s Motherhood Mini Session event was so special to me, and I am so grateful to each of the mamas and babies who joined me last April at Studio at 428! We had the most gorgeous florals by CS Farmstead, sweet treats by Signature Sweets by Amanda, and a beautiful day to celebrate these beautiful ladies.
My love and affection for these boudoir session just grows and grows, and i’m hoping to do so many more of them in 2026! My goal for these maternity boudoir sessions is to find that gorgeous blend of femininity, strength, beauty, power, tenderness, joy, vulnerability, connection, and wonderment that comes with pregnancy.
You can’t have a destination wedding without a day-after session, RIGHT?! You’re going all the way over there, you’re in the most beautiful place, it only makes sense to take full advantage of the opportunity with a ‘day after’ session with your photographer! It’s something I include complimentary with all of my destination wedding packages, and i’m so thankful Taryn and Woody took me up on the offer and were willing to spend one more evening with me and my camera.

From day one, they knew that they’d be getting married with their toes in the sand, and that they’d be standing across from one another. Not much else may have been sure that early, but those two pieces were all that really mattered. What an incredible gift it was to see their dream wedding come to life earlier this month at the beautiful Grand Hyatt Kauai in Hawaii! It’s exactly as I’d imagine my perfect day too: intentional, relaxed, and full of just their most favorite people in the world. How lucky we felt to be inluded in the mix!

You give us one day to celebrate these two getting engaged, and we will pack it ALL in! There are so many spots around Disney World that they love, and I happened to be in town on a day when they both were ALSO in town and not traveling for work, so we made. it. HAPPEN! Engagement portraits around the Boardwalk loop, engagement portraits in the prettiest pavilions around Epcot, and we capped the day off at Magic Kingdom…
