Press & Awards

It's a journey of so many moments to capture.

The sweet smell, sleepy grin, cheeks you just want to kiss endlessly, and tiny hands you never want to stop holding. It's breathtaking, and somehow you know it's going to pass by all to quickly.

With a blink of an eye it's 3 months, 6 months, 9 months, then 1 year. It's flown by and you have the keepsakes and memories to remind you of all the overwhelming joy that your newborn allowed you to experience. I'm here to capture those sweet moments in time.
