From Engagement to First Birthday: A Story That Grows With You
Some of the most meaningful photographs I create don’t come from a single session — they come from years of trust, connection, and shared moments. My favorite stories are the ones that begin long before a wedding day and continue as life unfolds.
It usually starts with an engagement session, but what we’re really creating in that moment is a relationship.
From the very beginning, I take the time to truly know my couples — not just how they want their photos to look, but who they are. I listen to their story, their hopes, their nerves, and what matters most to them. I believe photography should feel personal, intentional, and deeply human.
As a photographer, being fully present is everything to me. I slow things down. I pay attention. I make space for real emotion and honest connection. My goal is always to create an experience where my clients feel seen, comfortable, and cared for — not rushed or posed into something that doesn’t feel like them.
When couples choose to invite me back again and again — from engagement, to wedding, to welcoming a baby — it’s an honor I never take lightly. These sessions become more than photos. They become a visual legacy of love, growth, and family.
The Engagement Session
This is where comfort and trust begin. It’s relaxed, meaningful, and focused on connection — setting the foundation for everything that follows. You can see more from this engagement session.
The Wedding Day
As your wedding photographer, I document your day with intention — capturing emotion, movement, and the quiet moments in between, so you can stay fully present. Many couples begin planning their wedding using trusted resources like The Knot, and I love being part of their journey from the very beginning. You can see a beautiful example of their wedding day here.
Maternity Photography
Maternity sessions celebrate a beautiful transition. They’re calm, connected, and centered on the love that already exists.
Newborn Photography
Newborn sessions are gentle and unhurried. I follow your baby’s lead, creating a peaceful experience that honors this tender season.
Baby’s First Year
Baby’s first year is about more than milestones — it’s about the connection that grows as a family finds its rhythm. Family sessions during this season capture joy, movement, and the love that’s deepened through every chapter.
First Birthday Cake Smash
Playful, messy, and full of laughter, a first birthday cake smash is the perfect way to celebrate an incredible first year.
Why the Relationship Matters
Photography isn’t just about showing up with a camera — it’s about showing up for people.
To me, the best images come from trust, patience, and genuine connection.
When you look back at your images years from now, I want you to remember not just how everything looked, but how it felt.
Your Story, Told From the Very Beginning
From saying “yes” to celebrating a first birthday, I’m honored to document families through every chapter. This journey is about more than milestones — it’s about preserving the love that grows through them all.
And it all begins with connection.
