Why the Sitter Milestone Is One of My Favorite Stages to Photograph

That Sweet Spot Between Baby and Toddler There’s something about the sitter stage that gets me every time. Around 6–8 months, babies are full of expression and joy. They can sit on their own but usually aren’t crawling away yet – which makes it perfect for photos! This age is full of curiosity. Big eyes, […]

Studio Session with Two Bright Personalities: Twin 8 Year Old Girls

This particular session was extra special for me. I’ve had the joy of photographing these beautiful twin girls since their NICU days, and what a journey it has been! Watching them grow into the vibrant, fun-loving 8-year-olds they are today has been such an honor.⁠
