YOUR STORIES

A Playful Family Session in the Garden

filed in:

When Jamin reached out, she mentioned needing some photos to “plaster all over the walls” in her new home. Naturally, I was over the moon. With Mia being so young, I wanted to keep the session playful and care free, incorporating lots of movement and new environments to keep her engaged.

Archie’s Gardenland has become one of my new favorite locations. The staff is so kind, the lighting is absolutely gorgeous, and all the vibrant colors are a dream. This was a fun one!

I spend a lot of my time reminiscing on the best memories, ready to create more. My hope is that my work creates that sense of nostalgia for you. The kind of feeling you wanna relive over and over again- front of the fridge, living room wall worthy.

I love madly in details. 

I love the smell of vanilla candles and the air when it’s crisp just before a fall rainstorm. I love the way that the sky turns all sorts of orange and pink when the sun’s going down. I’ll spend an hour at the store just to make sure I find you the perfect birthday card, and then I’ll probably end up buying two anyways. I’m fascinated by how the waves in the ocean are never ending and if you were to ask what inspires me, I’d say storytelling in all of its many different art forms.

Inspired by sunsets, nostalgia, the stories that make up antique stores, and most of all 

you.
