"The photos are outstanding! I get teary-eyed when I spend time with the photo gallery to obsess over the delightful moments of our special day. Olivia certainly outdid herself. We cannot thank her enough for being so flexible with the schedule, adaptable to the situation, and opportunistically creative during such a rainy day!"

As someone who has worked for many years in childcare settings I understand how best to help a child break out of their shell for photos and feel comfortable with the camera.
I love bringing warmth and personality to all my sessions, and my number one goal for your session is to capture truly authentic moments of joy and togetherness so you can preserve this moment in time for years to come.
My priority is emotional safety as much as it is getting beautiful images, because the experience is just as important as the outcome.
I love to be silly and playful with kids and really get down on their level, but I also understand that some of them need a quiet grounding presence just as much as others need someone who will be goofy to help draw them out of their shell.
By creating space for children to play, wander, and be who they are, your photos will feel alive and honest, rather than stiff and posed.
At the end of the day your session should be a wonderful memory to look back on that leaves you feeling even more connected with your family.
Absolutely! Family sessions are available for ALL ages, and as someone who has had family scattered all over the globe I understand the importance of professionally capturing those rare moments when you're all together in one place.

"We would highly recommend her to anyone but especially to the LGBTQ+ community. It can be a stressful endeavor and she made us feel accepted and welcomed throughout our whole experience.
