2026 Mini chapters
Messy looks good here- The moments that matter most are rarely planned.
This year’s Mini Chapters are designed to celebrate the beautifully real moments of motherhood. Whether it’s sticky fingers at an ice cream mini, paint-covered hands during a paint session, sandy toes at the beach, or kids splashing through the river, these sessions are all about letting go of perfection and leaning into the moment.
I’ll guide you, prompt you, and handle the flow — but the magic happens when you allow your kids to be kids. Wiggles are welcome. Laughter can be loud. Messes are expected. And when things don’t go exactly as planned? Those often become the moments you cherish the most.
Mini Chapters give you a chance to slow down, be present, and embrace the season you’re in. Your only job is to love on your people while I document the messy, meaningful memories that make your motherhood story yours.
Mini Chapters are ideal for families who want beautiful, story-driven images with a smaller time commitment. Short, meaningful, and thoughtfully styled, they allow you to preserve this chapter without overwhelm.
Little moments. Big memories.

Join me on June 7th for Sun-Kissed Memories, a relaxed beach session along the Chicago shoreline.

Join me at the greenhouse for a nostalgic summer evening filled with watermelon slices, fresh squeezed lemonade, sticky little fingers, and all-American summer vibes. These sessions are designed to feel playful, relaxed, and full of the little moments that feel like childhood summers. Think barefoot kiddos, porch hangs, laughter, and memories that feel beautifully lived in.
LAVENDER LEMONADE

Join me for a dreamy summer evening surrounded by soft lavender blooms, fresh squeezed lemonade, and sweet sunshine-filled moments.

You don’t have to feel confident to be photographed here. I won’t change your body or edit you into someone else — my goal is to photograph you with care and intention, exactly as you are. If something doesn’t look or feel right, we’ll absolutely adjust. And yes, former hairstylist here — I’ll fix your hair when needed… though sometimes letting it blow in the wind is part of the magic too.
