As a Tallahassee Maternity and Newborn photographer, it only makes sense that I would offer a membership to capture all of the highlights of this new chapter of life in the birth of your family. Through my intentional pairing of gentle guidance and natural moments, I am able to provide my clients with refined and authentic memories to last a lifetime. This is for new and growing families of any stage.
MEMBERSHIP COMEs WITH INCREDIBLE PERKS, INCLUDING
- 2 - 4 sessions of your choosing (maternity, newborn, milestones, birthday, family session, etc) over an 18 month period, for one creative fee, $500. If you book a maternity and newborn session, you are automatically enrolled into the membership
- priority booking
- early booking access to holiday session events
- $100 print credit for any future sessions after your membership concludes (2 year session, family sessions, etc)
- Access to join my Yearbook club after membership is completed
- families expect to invest $750+ after each session
Booking a membership for a new baby is best done during the second trimester to ensure availability.
Joining the collective is a gift that you give your future self. As a mama of four, I can tell you with certainty that the time goes fast, and when it’s gone there is no going back. You won’t regret investing in the legacy of your family, I promise.
Contact me to join the collective for yourself.
There`s a version of this summer that lives only in your memory.
The age your youngest is right now. The way your kids are with each other this particular year. The trip where everyone finally made it to the same place at the same time.
I`m not saying that to add pressure. I`m saying it because I think you already feel it, and sometimes it helps to hear someone else say it out loud.
These seasons are worth more than a blurry phone shot taken between sunscreen and dinner reservations.
If you`ve been sitting on the fence about booking a vacation session - or about Heirloom Portraits for your kids this summer - I want you to know that the planning is simpler than it probably feels right now.
Reach out. I`ll walk you through everything.

Our country turns 250 this year. I was in the middle of editing a gallery when that number actually stopped me.
I have four kids - 6, 11, 15, and 17. And I have spent years telling other families that childhood is fleeting, that these seasons pass before you`re ready, that photographs are one of the most meaningful ways you hold onto them.
I`ve said it hundreds of times.
And then I sat there and realized I needed to take my own advice.
So this summer, I`m photographing all four of my kids in what I`m calling Heirloom Portraits. Not elaborate. Not trendy. Just simple, timeless portraits that show exactly who they are right now, in the year America turned 250.
Because someday I want them to be able to show these to their own kids and say, `This is who I was that year.`
That thought made the decision easy.
I opened up a small number of spots for other families to do the same. Details are linked in my bio if this is something you`ve been quietly wanting.

A family vacation checklist as I understand it:
Pack sunscreen. Forget to pack enough sunscreen. Buy more sunscreen at the gas station.
Wrangle the toddler.
Realize the cousins haven`t all been in the same place since last summer and someone should really get some photos.
Spend three days saying `we should really get some photos.`
Go home. Look at seventeen slightly-blurry phone shots taken at dinner.
I`m not judging. I`m just saying there`s a better version of this story available to you, and it doesn`t require much more planning than you`re already doing.
A vacation session works exactly because everything is already set up. The people are there. The place is special. All you need is someone to actually capture it.

I drove to a beach session in the rain once.
The whole hour down, I was watching those clouds like they personally owed me something. The family only had a few days at the beach house - no rescheduling, no backup dates. We had an indoor plan ready just in case, but I was really hoping we wouldn`t need it.
And then, right as I was pulling in, the sky cleared.
Just like that.
We walked out onto the sand and the session unfolded the way the best ones do - easy, relaxed, full of real moments. That soft post-storm light hit everything just right.
I think about that drive a lot. The backup plan was real and we would have used it if we needed to. But the thing I keep coming back to is this: flexibility and a good attitude matter more than perfect conditions.
When families come in willing to roll with whatever happens, the photos almost always reflect that ease right back at them.
The clouds cleared. They almost always do.

This is the part I don`t think gets said enough:
You don`t have to have it all figured out before you reach out.
You don`t need to know exactly what your kids will wear, or whether everyone will cooperate, or whether the weather will behave. That`s my job to help with.
What you do need is the trip on the calendar and the people you love showing up.
I`ll handle the rest.
