How Fast It Goes Every August, right around now, I hear some version of the same thing from moms: “How did that happen so fast?” or “The summer just flew by!“ The summer that stretched out endlessly in June is somehow down to its last week. There’s a new grade, a new teacher, a new […]

There is a certain magic that shows up the moment a child sees Santa. The wide eyes, the shy little wave, the whispered Christmas wish they have been holding onto for weeks. My Santa mini sessions in Tuscaloosa are built to hold onto exactly those moments, the real and unscripted ones, so you can treasure […]

Summer slows down for no one. We tell ourselves it will. We picture these long, lazy days stretching out in front of us, slow mornings and nothing on the calendar and plenty of time to just be together. And then somehow it’s the middle of July, the kids have grown an inch, and we’re not […]

Father’s Day has a quieter feel to it than Mother’s Day, doesn’t it? Every year the Father’s Day cards get funnier, the gifts lean towards grill tools and golf balls, and every year I think the day slips by without us saying the thing that matters most… So this year, I want to stop and […]

Happy Mother’s Day… Not the greeting card version of it. Not the perfectly plated brunch or the flowers that are lovely but gone by Wednesday. I mean the real, in-the-trenches, still-in-your-pajamas-at-noon, someone-just-spilled-juice-on-the-couch version of it. That Mother’s Day. For that mom. Because that’s most of us, isn’t it? I want to talk to you today […]

If portrait session pricing has ever given you pause, you’re not the first. Before you assume it’s out of reach, it helps to understand what actually goes into professional photography – and what you’re really walking away with. Here’s an honest, behind-the-scenes look at how I think about pricing and what it means for your family.

If you’ve thought about booking Santa photos and immediately pictured your toddler melting down the second you walk in the door, I want you to know something first: You’re not the only mom who has thought this. Not even close. I hear some version of it almost every season. “She’s in a phase right now.” […]
