As a mom myself, I know you already have enough on your plate and a million little things pulling at your attention every day. My goal is to take this completely off your plate, guiding you through the entire process—from designing the perfect pieces for your home to professional installation—so all you have to do is enjoy seeing your family’s story beautifully preserved on your walls.
One day these small hands won’t reach for yours the same way—but the artwork on your walls will forever hold the story of who you were together in this fleeting season

Albums & Frames
Artwork
Using specialized software, I’m able to mock your portraits up to scale so you can see exactly how they will look on your own walls before making any decisions, allowing you to feel completely confident in choosing artwork that truly belongs in your space. With over 30 beautiful molding options—each one hand-crafted in the USA—finding a frame that perfectly complements both your portraits and your home becomes an effortless and enjoyable part of the experience.
Every session with me includes my signature design consultation, where we thoughtfully select your favorite images and begin dreaming about where they will live in your home.

What colors can I get the albums in?
Absolutely! While you are welcome to bring your own outfits or special props for the session, you’ll also have access to my collection of dresses and gowns for a more seamless experience. If you have a specific vision in mind or a family heirloom you'd like to include, please let me know ahead of time so we can incorporate it into your photoshoot. I also have a selection of props for milestone sessions that are available for you to use, ensuring that your session is personalized and unique.
Can I bring my own outfits or props?
Yes, the studio is child-friendly and designed to make both parents and children feel at ease. I know how important it is for kids to feel comfortable during a photoshoot, and as a mother myself, I’ve developed strategies to keep little ones engaged and having fun while capturing authentic moments. The space is spacious enough for children to move around, and I provide props and activities to help keep them entertained.
Is the studio child-friendly?
Booking a session is easy! You can reach out to me via the contact form on my website or email me directly. Once we’ve discussed the details and chosen a session date, I’ll send you a booking contract and secure your spot with a deposit. From there, we’ll finalize everything, including wardrobe choices and any special requests you may have for your session.
