Meet little Theo, who just had his very first Christmas mini session! 🎄✨ This little guy was totally mesmerized by the sparkly tree lights and gave us all the holiday feels. Sometimes the magic is all in those tiny moments of wonder. ❤️ #FirstChrist

Holiday photos with friends are just that much more fun.

This wasn’t your typical photo session.
It was crafts. Guac. Karaoke. Bikes. Hugs.
Real life, captured with heart.
The Fuhrmann family has grown up in front of my lens, and this time we did something new. A longer documentary session, full of e

Golden light. Giggles. And a park that felt like home.
These girls ran, explored, and totally owned their space at Reservoir Park.
Choosing a location with meaning adds something real to your photos.
I’m always down to try somewhere new—e
