About this session

Harlow is just too adorable! We love this family and are so glad they continue to let us document their milestones. If you surf around our galleries, you will find them all over! Mom is super creative and always shows up to the session with amazing hand made props and super cute outfits. They have become awesome friends of ours and we love them! Some day, I’m going to get her to design some newborn sets for us 🙂 Harlow had a great session and we can’t wait to see her again for her 6th month sitting up portrait session.

Update: Check out Harlow’s 6 month session.

A little something I cooked up

24 years of weddings later and apparently I still haven’t gotten this photography thing out of my system

Honestly?
Wedding photography is basically part chaos, part storytelling, and part catching moments couples didn’t even realize were happening.

And somehow those always end up being the photos people love the most. 🤍

Brides…What’s the ONE photo you already know you want from your wedding day? OR the one photo you treasure from your wedding?

The NCL mother-daughter moments were EVERYTHING at the Rainbow Luncheon.

Watching these girls walk beside their moms with so much confidence, grace, and personality was honestly emotional to photograph.

Because behind every confident daughter is usually a mom who spent years showing up quietly in the background the whole way.

And somehow events like this make you realize just how fast it all goes.

To all the NCL moms:
you can truly see your love reflected in these girls. 🤍✨

Tag an NCL mom or daughter who’s been through this or has their moment coming soon.

They wanted additional photos at the beach, so we planned a separate session where they could slow down, be present and just enjoy being together without the structure of the wedding day timeline.#trashthedress #weddingday

After 6+ years of service, friendships, events, meetings, volunteering, and growing up together… getting to watch these NCL senior ticktockers have their moment on the runway felt really special. 🤍

You could see the confidence, personality, and excitement in every single one of them.

And honestly?
I think moments like this hit the parents even harder

Because suddenly the little kids you went to NCL events are young adults walking across a runway representing the organizations, brands, and people they’ve spent years supporting and learning from.

So proud of all of these incredible girls and everyone they represented ✨Props to JC Fashion Events for organizing an amazing fashion show.

NCL families, you are raising some truly amazing humans 🤍

“I know I should sleep… but the voices in my head go…” 👀

“Parents really don’t take enough photos once their kids become teenagers.”

I think this stage matters MORE than people realize.

Because this is the season right before everything changes.

Before college.
Before moving out.
Before life starts looking different.

And one day these stop feeling like “just senior photos”…

And start feeling like proof of what life looked like before they grew up. 🤍

Moms of teens… comment book to plan a session this summer!
