Life Lately + Pay-What-You-Can Sessions

Hi friends! It’s been a little while since I’ve shared what’s going on in life, so I wanted to pop in with some updates and a few things I’m excited about.

First off, life’s been busy but really good. Between spending time with family, exploring fave spots around town, and soaking up the little moments in between working from home, it’s been a mix of chaos and joy (mostly joy!). I’ve also been diving into my photography work more, and I’m so excited to share that I’m offering Pay-What-You-Can sessions for anyone who’s interested. This is a way for me to connect with people, create beautiful memories, and make photography accessible for everyone. If you’ve been wanting to get some photos done, whether it’s maternity, family, or just capturing a moment in time, now is a great opportunity. Send me a message and we can get scheduling!

Aside from photography, I’ve been having so much fun thrifting lately. There’s something so satisfying about hunting for unique finds, whether it’s baby clothes or occasionally clothes for myself, home decor, or quirky treasures. I love sharing my best finds and tips on how to spot gems (at least in my opinion!), so expect a few posts and stories on that soon.

I’m also making it a point to spend some time at the beach before summer comes to a close. As a former east coast kid who lived way too long in the midwest, I’m happy to live much closer to the beach… even if it is still a few hours to a coastal beach. A little sun, sand, and salty air always resets me and it’s been too long. And it will be my daughter’s first time!

Other than that, life’s little joys like good food, slow mornings, and cozy evenings have been keeping me happy and grounded. I’m planning to share more behind-the-scenes moments, photography sneak peeks, and of course some thrifted treasures in the coming weeks.

Thanks for following along, and if you’ve been thinking about booking a session (Pay-What-You-Can or otherwise), don’t hesitate to reach out. I’d love to create something beautiful with you.
