THE FAMILY EXPERIENCE
SINCE BECOMING A MOM, PHOTOGRAPHING FAMILIES HAS TAKEN ON A WHOLE NEW MEANING.
Now that I have my own little ones to love, I realize to a deeper extent how valuable photography is. There is nothing I love more than to look back at old photos of my sweet babies, and recall all of their perfect details and everything about their personality when that photo was taken. Sometimes, a photograph can even make me re-live the sound of their laughter and the smell of their hair. What a treasure!
If you are a parent, I'm sure you know what I mean. Whether you are an expecting mother, brand new to parenthood, or seasoned in your journey with lots of sweet kiddos, I would love to capture this season of life for you.
Ashley is absolutely the best! Our kids feel so comfortable with her which leads to authentic smiles and great photos. She takes an ordinary moment and captures it in a way that makes it extraordinary.

TYPES OF FAMILY SESSIONS
FAMILY SESSION
Family sessions are designed for the young and growing family. These sessions typically take place outdoors, about 1-2 hours before sunset. You can also book a session in a natural light studio or in your home! Choose from a 30, 60, and 90 minute session.
MATERNITY SESSION
Maternity sessions are the perfect way to capture this fleeting season of pregnancy. I typically book maternity sessions about 6-8 weeks from your due date. These sessions can take place outdoors at sunset, in a studio, or at home! Choose from a 30, 60, or 90 minute session.
NEWBORN SESSION
Newborn sessions are typically booked within the first two weeks of life, when babies are their most sleepy and squishy selves! This session can take place in your home or at a natural light studio for an additional fee. Booked dates are flexible based on baby's arrival and mom's recovery. Choose from a 60 or 90 minute session.
The average family session investment is $550. Please inquire for detailed pricing.

What an honor to have captured the wedding of my sweet nephew and his beautiful bride 🤍 the fire in their eyes and deep joy on their faces was nothing any prompting or posing could have created, but the fulfillment of a long awaited and treasured gift finally received. I can’t express how sweet it is to have watched Ethan grow up and now get to see him become a husband, and to have found such a wonderful partner in Genesis. I can’t wait to see what the Lord has in store for you both!
The quiet in-between moments that tell so much of the story 🤍 featuring the most beautiful rainbow I’ve ever seen, a very beloved bride, and a special appearance from my son, the ring bearer, who was hiding from mama’s camera the whole day 😏
Liam + Lyla! A wedding to remember 🤍 just sent off this gallery, and I loved picking out some of my favorite moments to share with you all. Congrats to the Geisers!

A forever favorite wedding of mine 🤍 things I’ll always remember about Josh and Katlynn’s day: the slow, peaceful morning getting ready (in the most beautiful house I’ve ever seen), the smiles on their parents faces as they watched the ceremony, the overwhelming joy shared after the first kiss (see slide 7😍) the incredibly delicious dinner, the BEST sunset, and the fireworks to end a perfect day ✨
Conner and Jasmine downtown ✨ so excited to celebrate these two in October!
If you’re hoping for dreamy, editorial getting ready photos… it all begins long before the camera comes out. Taking time to prepare your details, choosing a space with plenty of natural light, and giving your photographer extra time to create allows these moments to be captured in a way that feels elevated and effortless. A few intentional pieces like a custom hanger, loose florals, ribbon, or a bottle of perfume can elevate the look of your detail photos as well. If this is the kind of wedding morning you’re dreaming of, let’s make it happen together 🤍
