Phoenix, az ~ Travel Session
london
Our sweet friend London came to see us from California all the way to Phoenix. Hazel and Lodon were born just a few short days apart. Sarah, London's momma, and I became good friends through the Down Syndrome Diagnosis Network. For those who don't know, there is an entire world of support for families of children in the online world. I have made some of the greatest friends though these online forums. I can hardly wait to see London and Sarah again!
Fall Perfection
James
I had the pleasure of meeting and photographing James and his family the first fall that I lived here in NC. They are sweet and kind.....and look at how adorable James is!
Arboretum in the spring
Sadie
Sadie is such a sweet and sassy little lady. She danced and twirled and sashayed all through the park. Check out the stunning blooms we had for her session too! The dress we used for the session is from Little Dreamers Tutus. They have the prettiest gowns!
Simple White Studio Set
Lian & Ella Fei
These two were beyond adorable, and so much fun! Lian and Ella's mom and I have been long time friends through social media, brought together by our little ones rocking their extra chromosome. This session was the first chance we had to meet in person. It was amazing and so long overdue.
Durham, NC
The Caba Family
Kelly initially contacted me through Instagram (a fun place that I have met a good number of our Down syndrome friends). We scheduled a date for Abby's photos, and decided to make it a family session. This gorgeous family came all the way from Florida to Durham for their session. Can you believe how lucky we got to have them here right when the tulips were in bloom!
Studio Valentine's Day Session
Ellie
Well tell me, is this not just the sweetest little love bug you've ever seen? Ellie came to visit me in the studio for this adorable little balloon filled session. I think it turned out so darn perfect!
Alllll the Locations
Hazel Grace Through the Years
One thing that we are not lacking for is photos of Hazel. I could fill this entire website with just "favorite" photos. I can't help it, she's just too perfect.....every little once of her.
Studio Simple Elegance
The Scott Family
I love so much to meet new families here in NC. Especially families that are already a part of our Down syndrome family. Little Reagan was such a doll baby and her brothers were equally awesome! I can't wait to see them again for a beautiful outdoor spring session!
the valley of fire, NV
The Egan Family
Can you even believe this stunning family....and the setting is alright too! I have been so fortunate to photograph the Egan family twice now. Jessica is an amazing momma and DS advocate. She has a beautiful blog and creates the most amazing social media content all about her beautiful family. If you have time, check out her Instagram oursweetgwendolyn.

The Down Syndrome friends' PORTRAIT Experience
I want to share your moments, your memories, your love for your babies. I want to capture every little snuggle, all the cuddles and hugs, the laughs and the giggles. I even love those big emotions, the tears, the tempers, everything that makes your moments yours. I want to see that perfect and the imperfect that makes up YOU. I know how you crave for that from me. You need that from what I can give to you. There are so few things in life that will hold the value of a photograph. A moment frozen in time. A perfect memory, otherwise gone. Let's do this together.....
Lifetime memories, captured and frozen for a lifetime. Heirloom memories to pass down through the generations
