The final few weeks of just the three of them before baby boy arrives.


Charlie took me through her usual pre-bedtime routine: picking dandelions, running with her pups, snacking on raspberries, sliding backward down the slide, and wrapping up the day with a cozy shower alongside her mama.

Your trust means everything.


During our consult call, Julieann shared how past photographers hadn’t quite captured the true spirit of her family. I completely understood and reassured her that this time would be different. I wanted her to feel confident that I would showcase her family's real essence in the images we create together.

Their safe space;


Julieann mentioned that their home is an extension of their personalities, so I made sure to capture all the special details—like the paper flower hearts she and Charlie made for Valentine's Day, the golden 6pm sun casting shadows on the walls, and the gorgeous vintage pieces that filled the space.
