I’d argue there are so many of us that it can feel overwhelming for an expecting mom to decide who to hire. How do you choose a newborn photographer that’s right for you? Do you […]

In a baby-led newborn session, your little one sets the tone — not a timer, checklist or rigid pose plan. I’m a lifestyle newborn photographer based in Lilburn, GA and my goal is simple: to create gentle, meaningful portraits that reflect your baby as they are, in this season—sleepy, squishy, alert, cuddly or even cluster-feeding […]

If black is your comfort color, you’re not alone. My closet is full of it — and honestly, I love it. Wearing black in photos has been my go-to before. It’s classic, forgiving and just feels like the easiest option most days. But first… Why I Often Discourage Black in Session Styling While black can […]

Family photography should be for every family—not just the ones who can sit still and smile on command. If you’ve ever hesitated to book a session because your child processes the world differently, I want you to know this: your family is welcome here. As a family photographer who sees accessibility as essential, not optional—and […]

I get asked this question all the time—do you ever offer mini sessions? Christmas pop-ups? Santa photos? And the answer is… not really. Every now and then—maybe once or twice a year—I’ll host a very limited offering, usually at a studio I know and love or outdoors at a quiet Christmas tree farm. But as […]

Surrounded by fellow photographers, we were united in awe: her posture so natural, her presence so calm, her connection so deep. It […]

Even if you don’t feel like a “picture person,” I promise you this: you will never regret having a few beautiful photos to look back on. A maternity session isn’t just about showing your bump—it’s about capturing the love, excitement, and beauty of this season before everything changes.
I cannot begin to thank Jessica for all the time and effort she put into this process. From coming to meet our nervous dog, Watson and figure out our style, to the numerous requests for assistance selecting all of our outfits. Numerous is an understatement. Furthermore, all the wonderful direction Jessica gave us since we were clearly clueless when it came to actually taking pictures and allowing us to include Watson was priceless. We cannot forget the time and effort Jessica put into scouting a location that would yield the best images and then having a backup when we didn’t think one would be needed!
I am beyond fortunate to have been given this opportunity for maternity photos when it wasn’t something I was even considering doing. I am so appreciative of Jessica making me look and feel comfortable during a time when that isn’t exactly what I was reflecting internally. She did this during my maternity session and newborn photos.
