INSTALOVE
This branding session with Kathleen was such a refreshing project!
Kathleen is a therapist, content creator, and advocate who shares honestly about motherhood and autism on her page @anautisticguide
Her vision was creative, thoughtful, and deeply personal. We did her session in her home and captured a mix of content, from lifestyle family photos to headshots, scenes that highlight the tools she uses in her work, and even a few generational portraits with her mom.
Kathleen is a fellow work-from-home mom (like me!), caring for her kids while building a brand that helps others. It was an honor to document a glimpse of her world, and I’m looking forward to more branding sessions with passionate and purpose-driven women like her.
This 🍓BERRY SWEET🍓 strawberry party was published on @inspiredbythis today and we are over the moon!
From IBT:
“From hands-on berry picking to strawberry mocktails and gingham everything, this party was made with little ones (and their grown-ups!) in mind. If you’re dreaming up your own strawberry farm birthday party or just love a dose of sunny, summer inspiration, you’re in for a treat.”
I’m so honored to have worked alongside all of these talented vendors to make this pretty shoot possible. Extra special thanks to @taylorkayesdesign for bringing us all together.

Megan reached out to me about something really special. Her whole family was coming together for the weekend, staying at a beach resort in Carlsbad, and they wanted to gift their mom updated family photos. It had been years since their last session.
The only day that worked for everyone was Saturday, and it had to be close to the resort. So we started planning (on a short window!).
She sent me videos of some beautiful beach spots from her morning walks, and I started checking tide charts. Sure enough, most of those areas would be underwater during our shoot time.
But when there’s a will, there’s a way.
Megan pulled together her family’s wardrobe so beautifully. It fit the beach setting perfectly, and it’s no surprise because she’s a talented female entrepreneur in the fashion world. Every detail came together.
I arrived early to scout and somehow found the perfect little pocket of empty beach. (Thank you, Jesus!) We had just enough space, the clouds came rolling in and out over the harsh sun, and somehow, it all worked out.😍
So grateful I got to document this moment for her and her lovely family. It deeply honors me when talented friends trust me with their photos. 💛

Happy Father’s Day to my love. Our kids are so blessed to call you daddy and are going to grow up knowing they’re so loved because of your intentional actions and life giving words you speak over them. I couldn’t be more proud to call you the father of my children. 💛
