Swimming with whales was something I’ve wanted to do since I was about 7 years old. When the opportunity came for me to actually do this, I made the decision to say goodbye to the security of my bank job. I wasn’t allowed the time off to pursue this bucket list item, and in turn...
Every year, I create space for families to slow down, step into the frame, and be seen and loved exactly as they are. These Spring Mini Sessions aren’t just about photos—they’re about connection. About remembering this season of life, exactly as it feels.
Because if there’s one thing I know for sure, it’s that time moves fast. One moment, they’re reaching for your hand, needing you for everything. The next, they’re off—growing into themselves, their laughter still echoing, but their hands no longer as small in yours.
Let’s press pause. Let’s create something you can hold onto.
