� One in a Melon turns ONE!
We started with sweet and simple on white before diving into the watermelon fun.

At this age, it’s totally normal for little ones to be unsure around strangers—so I always start slow, let them warm up, and keep parents close until we’ve got that first smile.

The result? A gallery full of real expressions and melon-sweet memories. ��

Out of town but still want senior photos?
Here’s your reminder — if you’re already doing a family session while visiting, we can easily add on a mini senior session!

It’s a great way to make the most of your time and leave with both family memories and something special for your grad.

Because senior year goes by fast — let’s document it while you’re here.

If your daughter is feeling nervous about posing for her debutante portraits, you’re not alone—lots of girls are!
The good news? She doesn’t have to figure it out on her own. I walk her through every step, from how to hold the dress to where to look.
By the end of the session, she’ll feel confident and relaxed (and you’ll have portraits that feel classic and natural).

Our studio garden gives us beautiful light and variety—so even a short session can feel like magic. 🌿👗

🎈How do you photograph a two-year-old with big energy and even bigger personality?

You keep it simple — clean white backdrop, lots of movement, and zero pressure to pose.

This session had it all: family portraits, sweet sibling moments, and so many expressions from this spirited little one. These are the kind of images that show who they really are — right now.

Because two doesn’t stay two for long.
