Join My Free Facebook Group

This free group is an inclusive group for all kinds of moms (and moms to be) where you can feel safe to seek support, information, and fun with other moms nearby.  I try to share fun things to do in the area, ideas for making life easier, and a good number of clever memes.  The group is based in the triangle area of  North Carolina, but we welcome moms from all over!  Come on over and take a peek, introduce yourself, and let us know what you need from our supportive community.

In this group, I will also share portrait sessions, upcoming mini sessions, exclusive sales and limited edition events.  I give you early access to book before the masses.
