Yesterday’s photo shoot MVP…
🐕😎
I had so much fun in the studio today photographing these 2 (plus their sweet pup…stick around until the last 2 slides to see the cutest pupper🐕)…I love, love kids studio sessions!😍
I adore all my clients but there’s something about tweens/teens…I still have plenty of little clients (baby-early elementary age) and they are all magical! Maybe it’s because my kids are 11 & almost 15🥹, so it’s an age group that I’m currently navigating…but there’s something energizing about this age group! (I know that a lot of you are probably thinking “wtf is she talking about? This age is exhausting/frustrating/confusing, etc…yes, it definitely is ALL THE THINGS…but the times when you bring your kiddos to be in front of my camera? Those times are wonderful. Thank you!)
I’ve been so lucky to photograph so many repeat clients from the time they are newborns/preschool age until early elementary age and from early elementary age to tweens/teens…I’m so lucky to be able to do what I do. Sometimes it even feels unbelievable that so many of you trust me to be there, documenting your family as you grow. Know that I am so grateful, always!
Ok. Enough about how fantastic my job is…enjoy a little preview from today!
Wrapping up spring break with a little preview from our last headshot happy hour! It was another sold out happy hour…Thanks to everyone who booked!

April’s happy hour has 1 or 2 remaining spots (last I checked), so if you’re on the fence it might be the right time to grab one of those spots! (Link in bio)
For anyone who attended, galleries should be delivered by the end of the coming week.
Hoping to see you soon🫶🏻

Now that I’m catching up on editing, it’s time to share some recent work…
Here’s a couple environmental portraits that I shot for a healthcare compliance industry publication. This is my 2nd time working with CEP magazine since November and both experiences have been great from start to finish. Hoping for continued, future collaborations!

It was a busy week but I managed a few meetings, voted, hosted my monthly headshot happy hour, and lastly (the best part)…I got to photograph 40 adorable preschool kiddos!
Here’s a preview of a few sweet faces🥰
Excuse me while I try not to get weepy because this is the 4th year I’ve photographed the preschool at Har Zion and several of these kiddos will be moving on to kindergarten next year and I’m not ready!🥹
A little preview from Thursday’s happy hour…we’ve got 2 spots remaining for the March happy hour. Grab them before they’re gone!
Headshots and professional portraits don’t need to be stiff or stuffy. Bring your favorite look, bring your personality, maybe bring a hype person, and let’s HAVE FUN!
What can clients do to get a great headshot? Relax.
Bring realistic expectations while also knowing that you are who you are and THAT is why you’re magical and amazing.
If your inner voice is telling you that you aren’t (fill in the blank with those nagging, negative thoughts) enough, tell your inner voice to fuck off. 🫶🏻
Thank you to everyone who came out on Thursday! It’s been a while since we’ve done a fully sold out (and actually overbooked😬) headshot happy hour! I didn’t get in bed until 1am but it was totally worth it.
Biggest thanks goes to @sarajeanstevenshmu, for making clients look stunning and more importantly, making them feel amazing!

Happy Friday, friends!
Last night’s happy hour was a blast! Sold out plus a few bonus attendees/hype squad! (You know who you are😘)
I was so busy that I didn’t get a chance to post before or after the event so these are a little late 🤷🏻♀️
Huge shout out to @sarajeanstevenshmu for killer makeup & hair skills!
Huge thanks to a friend, who doesn’t like being tagged, who jumped in to use my air wrap to “fluff” hair for a client who wanted a little bounce added…Side note: SJ wasn’t scheduled for this clients hair and when we started shooting, we decided she needed a little “umph”. Teamwork, y’all!
Another shout out to @nallelysuarezgass …she wasn’t there but I served up 2 of her newly released @dropneedle cocktails. Canned bubbles are my favorite during my happy hour events and these are amazing! Check them out dropneedledrinkscompany.com! If you’re local, pick them up at @carnivalgroceryoakpark!
