the
Lexington KY Photographer
Families, maternity, & newborns
A love letter to your life & the magic tucked away in the chaos of every day.
These photographs are a way to hold onto your family's story—not just how everyone looked, but how it felt to be right here, right now.
"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!"

"...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."

"...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? Have questions?Inquire HERE.
You'll hear from me within 48 hours with a booking link where you'll complete your session agreement and pay the $400 session fee. You'll have the option to choose a collection ahead of time and set-up a payment plan.
Shortly after you'll receive a link to the calendar to pick your date!
02
session guide + Pre-session planning call
You'll receive a session guide to help you prepare, plus we'll schedule a pre-session planning 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, though I will gently guide as needed (you're never left awkwardly wondering what to do with your hands). It’s about creating space for your family to simply be together, connected, and seen in all your right-now magic before everything shifts again. Sessions usually last around 1.5 hours (sometimes 45 minutes, sometimes 3—based on what we plan before).
04
four weeks later...grab your tissues
Bring the tissues—this part is magic. About 4 weeks after your session you'll receive your online slideshow where you can see all your photos from the comfort of your home and then pick your collection (if you haven't already).
Once you've chosen your collection you'll have access to the gallery to download your purchased images and spend your print credit on gorgeous artwork and share your gallery with friends and family!
Can I make payments?
Absolutely! I offer pre-session payment plans for collections chosen just after booking OR 6 month 0% financing (through Affirm or Paypal Credit) for collections purchased after seeing the final images.
What if my kids won't sit still or we feel awkward?
You're in the right place! They don't have to sit still...I want them to be exactly as they are in this season...and you don't need to know what to do in front of the camera. I'll gently guide you, and we'll take our time. The goal is for you to enjoy being together.
Do I have to choose a collection at booking?
Not at all. You can choose your collection when booking (for exclusive savings and payment plans) or wait until you've seen your images. Whatever you're most comfortable with.
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.
What if it rains or someone is sick?
I get it. Life happens. I also know that overcast days, despite what people say, don't always give that warm, sun-drenched feel and can also make indoor natural light nearly nonexistent. This is one reason I take on fewer sessions to allow room in my schedule to accommodate reschedules when necessary.
But I'm waiting for life to slow down.
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.
"...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.
