My signature backyard session.

Everyday moments from your kitchen table to the backyard that amplify the everyday beauty of home.

In these sessions, I hope to document the areas of your home your children will look back on with delight. The garden you tend to every spring to enjoy all summer as you sip on your coffee in the mornings. The yard your kids run inside with muddy toes after an afternoon of exploring and water fun. This is where the Backyard Session was birthed - in the memories, connection, and safety found in seasonal rhythms that mark your home.
