I’m so, so glad I decided to host another round of Petit Beach Sessions! The little lake that I frequent for these is just darling and the perfect spot for capturing busy families. 0000
I met Amy and her precious family through my dearest friend, Courtney. She reached out wanting to book a curated session and we began the fun planning process of designing her photography experience with me. During our conversation we came to a crossroads regarding looks: capture at a green, shady, wooded park or use their […]
I love capturing first birthday parties, and always jump at an opportunity to photograph one. Amber is a new neighborhood friend of mine and we finally had the chance to meet “in person” at her darling daughter’s party. I love internet friends turned real life friends #milleniallife. This party was pretty special because it was […]
I met Jessie a few years ago through CrossFit. She is such a wonderful, beautiful person inside and out. Jessie reached out earlier this summer wanting some updated portraits.

In order to take better photos I need to practice and that […]

As a renter, a city dweller I’ve not participated directly in NNO for these reasons, and I don’t necessarily want to sit and talk […]
It still seems surreal to me that summer is almost over. I love summer, but autumn has my heart, and I’m excited to see what this next season brings. This is a perfect time to share that my wonderful intern Sasha has been promoted to Jadeite’s Studio Assistant! Sasha has been instrumental in helping grow the […]
