I am SO thankful for this woman. You might have seen her around somewhere, but most of the time she is picking up my left behind lenses, making sure I don’t trip over my camera bag, gathering family members, or off in the corner snapping those unforeseen shots at weddings. Elena is my wonderful assistant and helps me SO, SO much at weddings. My head would not be screwed on tight if it weren’t for her on a wedding day. She and I have been working together for almost 5 years and I am so grateful to call her one of my friends!

No one said you had to do newborn photos inside! Taking lifestyle newborn photos outside and making them true to your style makes them even more meaningful and significant!!

“When should we schedule newborn photos?”

If you’re expecting (whether it’s your first baby or you’re adding to your crew), this is one of the most common questions I get

The sweet spot?
7–14 days after your baby arrives

Those early days are something special…
Your baby is still sleepy, snuggly, and curled up in that fresh, just-born way—and it changes so quickly.

But here’s what matters just as much:

You don’t have to go anywhere.

My newborn sessions take place in your home whether it’s a quiet morning with your first baby or a full, beautifully busy house with siblings running around.

No pressure. No perfect expectations.
Just your family, exactly as you are in this season.

If you’re thinking about newborn photos, I recommend reaching out during your second trimester so I can save space around your due date

I shared more about what to expect (and why timing matters) over on the blog link is in my bio!

If this season is coming up for you, I’d love to connect

On this gorgeous spring day, I find myself reliving Connor and Kristen’s wedding at Bavaria Downs.

An effortlessly timeless celebration layered with refined details, soft summer light, and a kind of beauty that never asks for attention, it simply exists. Every moment felt intentional, elegant, and deeply meaningful… the kind of day that lingers long after it’s over.

Truly, a wedding that defines what it means to be both classic and unforgettable.

If you’re envisioning a day that feels elevated, seamless, and entirely your own, I would be honored to document it.
