When this beautiful naturalized detention basin was put in and planted a few years ago, I was the happiest gardener and photographer around! We are so lucky to have this beautiful landscape so close to home in a neighborhood park. I have decided to offer mini sessions here in late July and August, click here...
For the first time, I’m offering daffodil mini sessions in this darling little patch of flowers for the best spring portraits you’ll find! No set ups, just simple nature.

Officially wrapping up 2025! 🎉
Going back through my 2025 sessions, I am reminded of all the fun times I had with my amazing clients! Forgive me for not doing an official recap of all of those great sessions. This winter has been a difficult one, and I am just now getting back into business mode. Looking forward to sharing some sessions that I’ve had recently, and my books for spring and summer are now open! PS: note to self to take more videos when it’s cold out 🤣

This couple had their engagement session planned for last Saturday, and it turned out to be the coldest day. As soon as we arrived the blowing snow started, but we managed to get these beautiful images anyway! I love the photos so much, congrats to the couple! ❤️
