There’s something extraordinary about watching a family grow right in front of my lens. This past year with baby Cameron has been such a joy. From his snuggly newborn days to his twinkly-eyed holiday session, and then from his sweet seven-month portraits to this moment—his first birthday celebration—we’ve officially come full circle.

As my business continues to grow year after year, so do the moments I get to share with the people who’ve been with me since the early days.

That’s exactly what the Villa family had in mind. I am so very fortunate to have wedding clients continue to hire me […]

Oh, baby Cameron! I just cannot get enough of his sweet smiles and handsome face. At seven months old, this little guy has officially mastered the art of charming everyone he meets. And let me tell you—I’m first in line. Thankfully, Brittany and Ryan chose a milestone photography package, meaning I get to see this […]

As a photographer, I’ve learned that family stories are rarely told in just one chapter. It is truly incredible to see all the growth that happens during those first few years of parenthood–both in our little ones and ourselves!
