the investment
because time doesn't wait-
and neither should you
Hold onto what matters.
Lexington KY Photographer
Families, maternity, & newborns
A love letter to your life & the magic tucked away in the chaos of every day.
I know personally, you want to hold onto, not just the way everyone looked, but also the way it ALL felt.
No pressure. Just the beauty in your real life.
"You would LOVE her and she just captures happiness!
Baby pictures are amazing but also stressful and she just calms everything and your family shines!
Plus, you two might honestly become besties!"

Why now?
But these are the very days you’ll long to return to.
The ones that seem ordinary now will one day feel sacred.
And the truth is, you won’t always remember how it felt—
The way they leaned into you.
The sticky kisses.
The way they called your name when the world felt big.
Unless you choose to.
Don’t wait.
Not because you’re behind.
But because this season is worth remembering just as it is.
What you're really investing in
Not perfect outfits or poses.
A way to come back.
You’re investing in the story of your family.
The kind told in glances, in hands held, in the soft light of your living room on a Tuesday morning.
The real, beautiful mess of it all.
These aren’t just photos—they’re how your children will remember being loved.
"...captured everything I love about each of them so much!"
"You have done it again! Somehow, you have photographed our tween and almost tween children, and have seen the love and life that is there.
So many days it gets masked with busy schedules, nagging, fighting, responsibilities, and trying to navigate helping them become the independent kids they are.
However, you were able to still see them as the children they are, and captured everything I love about each of them so much!
We gathered on the couch, and watched the slideshow together, and laughed all the way through. I already upgraded to collection two!"

HOW IT WORKS
the PROCESS
01
First things first,
Easy booking process
Ready to book? Inquire HERE.
You'll hear from me within 48 hours with a booking link where you'll be able to officially reserve your session with your session agreement and retainer fee.
Prefer to talk it through first? I’d love that! You can schedule a call right HERE.
02
lifestyle session guide + creative consult
You'll receive a session guide to help you prepare, plus we'll schedule a creative call to chat through your vision—whether it's simple and laid-back or full of dreamy ideas.
03
love-filled session
This isn’t about posed photos.
It’s about creating space for your family to simply be—present, connected, and seen in all your right-now magic before everything shifts again. Our time together is relaxed and rooted in storytelling, usually lasting around 1.5 hours (sometimes 45 minutes, sometimes 2—whatever your story needs).
04
two weeks later...grab your tissues
Bring the tissues—this part is magic. We'll meet over Zoom for your ordering appointment, where you'll get to relive your session for the first time in a heartfelt slideshow set to music. After you've had a moment to take it all in, we'll walk through your options together. There’s no pressure—just support. I'm here to gently guide you so you leave with only what you truly love.
Session retainer fee of $250 includes:
- Easy, flexible booking
- Lifestyle Session Guide and Session Planning Call to help you feel prepared, relaxed, and fully present
- A relaxed, natural session-usually 1 to 2 hours-in your home or another meaningful Central KY location
- A gallery of ~80 hand-edited images to choose from
- A private online gallery for viewing, sharing, and ordering
- A custom slideshow to relive your session
- A zoom ordering appointment two weeks after your session to help you choose what you love
The session fee DOES NOT include images or products.
Collections and a la carte fine art prints and products are ordered separately once you've seen your images.
SIMPLE. FLEXIBLE.
NO SURPRISES.
Collections begin at $999, and most families invest around $1800.
Individual images are $175, and fine art prints start at $40.
You don't have to decide anything now.
See your images. Feel the love.
Then choose what matters most to you.
To make things easy, pre-payment plans and PayPal Credit (0% for 6 months) are both available.
It's simple. It's flexible. And it's all about honoring this season of your family with less stress and more meaning and guidance.
"...my only valuable possession..."
"...not only are your photos my ONLY valuable possession and most sacred cherished gift, but when N sees the slide show the first time, it's always so incredible.
Now that he's older, today had me melting in new ways and crying again.
When I showed him, at one point, he looks up and gives me the sweetest kiss while wearing a big smile and at another point, he squeals and gasps and reaches up for me and says 'mommy I love you'!
May I remember that moment forever."

"...you have a spirit that allows people to feel safe and be seen.
They are willing to let their guard down with you.
This is critical when it comes to capturing a soul on film."
Dreama
But my kids won't sit still for pictures.
Perfect! They don't have to. You want to remember them as they are. Wild & wiggly or a little bit shy. And honestly, that's how we get the best pictures!
I'm afraid we will be awkward.
You won't be. Not when you're with your people, focusing on loving and celebrating them. And I'll guide you every step of the way. That's the great part about sessions with me!
Do you offer payment plan options?
Absolutely! Pre-payment plans are offered for those who choose their collection up front. Or you may choose to use PayPal credit for orders placed at an ordering appointment 2 weeks after your session.
Where will my session be held?
The most meaningful photos happen when you feel at ease. That’s why I love sessions at home—but if your heart feels pulled outside, we’ll choose a spot in Central KY that feels like you. Wherever you’re most comfortable, that’s where the magic lives.
What if it rains or is too cloudy or too hot?
Typically we reschedule. I allow flexibility in my schedule for this very reason.
But I'm waiting for life to slow down or for my body to be the way i want it or for our house projects to be finished.
So much beautiful life unfolds in the waiting. It won’t matter what felt unfinished. What will matter is that you chose to see the beauty in your right now—and your family will thank you for it.
What should we wear?
Whatever feels like home. I'll send a simple guide and will help you narrow down your choices-but what matters most is comfort, not matching.
How long will it be before I see my gallery & receive prints?
Two weeks following your session you will receive an email with everything you need to view your gallery. Most prints and products take no longer than 2 weeks from ordering to in your hands. Custom designed products can take 3-6 weeks.
How far in advance should I schedule?
I only take a handful of sessions each month, and dates can fill up 3 weeks to a year out. If you know you’ll want one, go ahead and claim your spot—we can always shift things if life (or travel sports) gets in the way. Trust me, I get it!
"...I only see love, the perfectly imperfect love of our family."
"Our house wasn't perfect. I was exhausted. But B was happy and so were we and it showed.
He's already changed so much in the last 6 months!
But even the last family session we had, when B would not cooperate at all--that's not what I see in the photos--I only see love, the perfectly imperfect love of our little family.
Because that's always there, and, thanks to these photos, that's what I will remember."

"I am weeping."
"I seriously cannot handle this...I am WEEPING!"

your session is not about me.
Truly. I am only a mirror to the love you share in front of my camera. What I do is provide an open heart that saves space for your family to just be. To breathe it all in. No need for the perfectly posed hands. Just you and your loves and your passion.
We take our time. No rush.The pressure is off.
I find that the number one concern before a session is that the kiddos will be wild or won't sit still for pictures. Perfect! They don't have to.
"that was much easier than I thought it would be!"
...is the number one comment overheard (often from Dad's) at the end of a session. Everything is meant to be relaxed and easy-going, the polar opposite of what you may have come to expect.
Like what
you see?
Let me tell the story of the love you give.
If you’re looking for authentic, love-filled, often joyful images, but a well-organized and easy process, you’re in luck. Let’s chat and see if we are the perfect match!
