a bit about the girl
behind the lens
I’m an Atlanta Native with Midwestern blood, photographer of littles, walking addict, and crazy busy mom to three kids. They are my pride & joy.
I sometimes eat Oreos for breakfast and
I’ve never met a margarita I didn’t like.
I’d love to tell your family’s unique story through imagery.
Most days you’ll find me hanging out in athleisure, designing storytelling family albums and dreaming up gallery-style memory walls for my clients’ homes from my cozy studio; dry shampoo’d hair in a messy pony, Dax Shepherd’s podcast on blast. I’m a tardy carpool driver, Lunchable-packing, dinosaur nuggets for dinner kinda mom with a knack for last minute text-message party invitations. My friends tell me I’m a soft place to land with a quick wit and a blatant hatred for all things laundry and high-maintenance.
” I BELIEVE LIFE IS MEANT TO BE LIVED, CARBS ARE MEANT
TO BE EATEN, AND OUR STORIES ARE MEANT TO LIVE IN PRINT.”
My photography style is the best of raw and elegant wrapped into one. Fresh, yet classic. unposed, but directed. Given the choice, I would always choose to photograph a baby snuggled in mom’s arms rather than alone. As a mom myself, I understand the desire to freeze time while capturing clean, happy images … but I also embrace the messy, because if we’re honest with ourselves, raising littles IS messy and I’m choosing to remember ALL of it.

I created my portrait experience around what I, myself, as a busy mom of three would want.
It’s no secret the days are long and the years are short — though most days never feel quite long enough.
I’ve heard it time and time again from clients and friends: family photos often feel more like another task than the meaningful experience they’re meant to be. Weeks of planning, endless to-do’s, and then — once the session is done — those captured moments sit unprinted, pushed to the bottom of the list for years.
When you work with me, making sure your portraits don’t suffer that same fate is one of my highest priorities. And while we’re at it, I’m just as committed to making the entire process — from planning to session day — as seamless and, dare I say, even enjoyable as possible.

I encourage all of my clients to plan for professional hair and makeup before their portrait session. Not only does it elevate the look and feel of your images, but it’s also one less thing for you to worry about on the day of your session.
I handle all of the scheduling and coordination, so all you have to do is show up and enjoy the experience.
Membership clients receive complimentary hair and makeup for their first session.

Julia is a top artist with Vigilante Cosmetics and has been working alongside me and my mamas since 2018. To know her is to love her and she is an absolute beauty magician. She knows how to make mamas feel their best by providing hair and makeup services at the studio or in the comfort of your home. For in-town clients planning outdoor portrait sessions, Julia is our go-to so that you can skip the studio and come beautified straight from your house.
Paula is the face behind @eimakeup and one of the queens of the Atlanta hair and makeup scene. While she stays busy glamming up the biggest names in influencing and working the wedding circuit on the weekends, she loves pampering my mamas before newborn and milestone sessions in the studio on weekday mornings.
