Welcome

There’s something so special about gathering multiple generations together on the beach. ✨ Parents, grandparents, kids, cousins—all in one place, enjoying the ocean breeze and each other.
Extended family sessions aren’t just about photos; they’re about capturing the love that spans decades. These are the kinds of moments that deserve to be preserved, not just for today but for years from now when the littles are grown.
Tomorrow I’ll share what makes extended family sessions so much fun (and why they’re one of my favorite things to photograph). 🌊 (2/3 coming next!)

There’s something about that first time your baby wraps their fingers around yours.
It’s instinct, sure—but it’s also connection.
A silent little promise: I know you. I trust you. I’m safe here.
They won’t remember this moment, but you will.
And years from now, you’ll look at this photo and remember exactly how it felt.
That’s the power of something so small.

First father-son moments. My newborn style is simple, no props, just beautiful portraits to capture the tininess of your new baby.

Not trying to be dramatic- just honest. This season flies.
