This session is extra special to me — not just because it was dreamy in every sense of the word (and oh, it was), but because it was with one of the very first families who ever trusted me with their memories.


Kimie was one of my earliest clients, back when I was just beginning to share my work more consistently and take those first brave steps in building this business. Our families have known each other for years, but when she reached out for a session all those years ago, it meant the world to me. And the fact that she’s continued to come back year after year? I truly don’t have the words. It’s the kind of support that humbles me and keeps me going — even now.

Last night’s session was full of sunshine, movement, and so much laughter. The girls brought their full selves — with energy, personality, and a little sparkle in their eyes — and honestly, that made it even more fun. I love capturing families as they are — snuggles and giggles, big moments and little in-betweens. And the Moore family is always so beautifully, authentically themselves.


There’s a rhythm to photographing a family year after year — the familiarity, the growth, the ease. And watching Kimie and Kevin love on their girls the way they do? It’s such a gift to witness. I left the session feeling so grateful — not just for the beautiful images we captured, but for the years of friendship and loyalty behind them.

Kimie, thank you for trusting me again and again. It’s an honor I’ll never take for granted.
