Welcome
Take a look around, and click here to get in touch with me about your own photos!
It’s the little things that mean the most. Tiny toes, big milestones.
Those curled-up feet, barely the length of your finger…
One day they’ll be running, climbing, dancing through your home.
But for now—they’re still. New. Perfect.
These are the details you’ll want to remember.
The ones that change too fast. The ones that matter most.

I don’t pose newborns in elaborate setups.
Not because there’s anything wrong with that—it’s just not how I see them.
When I look at your baby, I don’t see a prop or a pose.
I see the way their fingers stretch when they yawn.
The way they melt into your arms when they’re calm.
The tiny, perfect details that are already changing by the day.
To me, that’s where the beauty is. Natural. Simple. Real.
These aren’t just photos—they’re a way to remember what it felt like in those first quiet days as a family.

Just the two of them. A quiet walk on Oceanside Pier.
It becomes more than a memory—it becomes yours.
The spot where it all began.
The day everything shifted in the best possible way.
