THE MOMENTS THAT MATTER.
1/1
Let me photograph them for you.
love stories / tiny toes / sunshine / warm hugs / family traditions
belly laughs / fresh flowers / the beautiful mundane / happy tears / young love
childhood / spilled wine / smile lines / family traditions / tenderness
connection / decades of love / perfect imperfections.
These are all moments that matter, and future-you will be grateful that they were documented and preserved with intention.

PORTRAITS
SMP Studio Sessions

Here, we will create space for you to connect with your children, your partner, or yourself, and revel in the joy of the life that you have created.

Newborn Sessions
This a child-led session that is a blend of both documentary photos and lightly directed portraits.

They are best planned to take place within the first three weeks of birth.

PRINT YOUR PHOTOS
Prints & Albums
they never become obsolete
Photographs are meant to be printed, displayed, and preserved. Photos that live on a device are subject to loss because technologies become obsolete and cannot be passed down from generation to generation.
This is why I believe in the importance of providing all of my clients with high-quality printed products.
I believe it is part of my job as your photographer to make sure you print your photos and have access to print products that will last.
Regardless of what photo session experience you book with me, a print credit is included as an inherent part of every photography experience I provide.
