Okay mamas!
This one is for you!
Motherhood changes in the blink of an eye. One minute you’re feeling those first little kicks, and the next you’re rocking a
tiny baby who somehow already feels bigger than yesterday.
That’s why I created this special experience — to walk with you through it all. From maternity to newborn and the beautiful in-between, I document this season in a way that feels natural, and true to you + it doesn’t just sit on your phone!
It becomes a timeless album you can hold, flip through on the couch, and share with your babies when they’re grown.
Because these days are sacred — and they deserve to be remembered that way!
I just want to slow down time!
ah, yes...time. Time has a way of moving a little faster once you become a mom! These days — the ones that feel ordinary now — are often the ones you’ll want to remember most.
My sessions are relaxed and natural, focused on connection rather than perfection. We’ll wander, play, hold your babies close, and let the moments unfold as they are. The goal isn’t stiff poses, but photographs that feel honest and true to you.
You’ll leave with images that preserve this season — and a session that feels just as meaningful as the photographs themselves.
aloha, howdy, hello!
I'm Summer! And this is my sweet little family — the heart behind everything I do. 🤍
Becoming a mama changed the way I see photos. I don’t just love them… I need them. The messy, beautiful, fleeting seasons. The way my baby fits perfectly on my hip right now. The way our life looks in this exact chapter — even if it feels ordinary.
That’s why I care so deeply about documenting families not just once, but over and over again. From growing bellies to brand new babies, from wobbly toddlers to the years when they say "I got it mom!" — these seasons deserve to be remembered. Not just the milestones, but all of the above!
What brings me so much joy? Truly — working with families like yours. Photographing love in its real, everyday form has always been my calling. There is something so sacred about preserving the way your child reaches for you, the way your partner looks at you when you’re not watching, the way your family feels right now.
My approach is relaxed and connection-focused. I’ll gently guide you, but mostly I create space — space to play, to snuggle, to laugh, to just be together. The magic isn’t in perfect poses. It’s in true to you moments!
More than anything, I want to be the photographer who walks with your family through the years. The one who captures your first maternity session… and then your newborn… and then the barefoot beach evenings years later.
Because one day, these photos won’t just be beautiful images — they’ll be proof of a life well loved.
I’m endlessly grateful this dream brought me here, where I get to document families in every season — and hopefully, yours too.

The Growing Seasons Collection is for the mamas who don’t want to capture just one chapter — but the whole unfolding story. Choose two or more sessions to document your journey into motherhood and beyond, whether that’s a sweet pregnancy announcement, a joyful gender reveal, glowing maternity portraits, those fresh newborn days,
or an updated family session as your baby grows.
This experience is designed to feel effortless, personal, and fully supported — so you can simply show up,
love on your people, and let me preserve it all.
Each Growing Seasons Collection session includes:
- 20 thoughtfully edited images available for digital download
- A private online gallery for viewing, downloading, and ordering prints
- Print release for your downloaded images
- Personalized outfit styling guidance
- Scheduling and coordination for professional hair and makeup for mama
- Access to a curated collection of newborn wraps
Because your story isn’t just one moment — it’s a series of beautiful, growing seasons — and I would be honored to
document them all with you.

How long will my session last?
The honest answer is — every session is a little different. Rather than working within a strict time limit, I focus on giving each family the space they need so the photographs come together naturally. What matters most is what we create, not the clock.
I’ll guide the flow of the session and wrap up once we’ve captured a full and meaningful set of images. Most maternity and family sessions tend to last around 30–60 minutes, while newborn sessions are usually closer to 90–120 minutes.
I follow the pace of your family, especially the little ones. When everyone starts to feel finished, that’s usually our cue. Years of experience have taught me how to work efficiently and gently, so we can create a beautiful variety of images without making the session feel long or overwhelming.
How will I recieve my images?
I know how exciting it is to see your photographs, and I love getting them into your hands as soon as they’re ready. Your online gallery will be delivered within two weeks of your session.
How do I get professional makeup?
I always encourage professional makeup for my sessions. 🤍 Not because you need it — but because you deserve to feel fully confident, relaxed, and taken care of. When you feel beautiful, it shows. And I want you to love not just your images, but the entire experience from beginning to end.
The artists I work with are familiar with my photography style and how I shoot and edit. They know how to create a look that feels like you — just a little elevated — while making sure it photographs softly and beautifully in natural light.
If you choose to add professional makeup, I’ll handle all the coordination for you. All you have to do is show up, sit back, and enjoy being pampered. Payment is made directly to the artist at the end of your appointment.
Easy, seamless, and one less thing on your plate.
When should I book maternity photos?
I typically suggest planning your maternity session around 28–35 weeks. By that point, your bump is bumpin' but you’re usually still feeling comfortable enough to move around!
Waiting much longer can be unpredictable — babies tend to make their own timelines — so scheduling during the late second or early third trimester helps ensure we don’t miss this season altogether.
When should I book newborn photos?
Newborn sessions are typically scheduled about one to three weeks after your baby arrives. This gives you space to adjust, breathe, and begin finding your rhythm before welcoming me in.
If timing shifts, don’t worry — those tiny details can still be captured up to 4–6 weeks. We’ll choose a date that feels right for you and your family.
