How did I meet the Kimballs?

I hosted a maternity model call and Carley was one of the first people who reached out. She was about 30 weeks pregnant with her first child and wasn't even sure she wanted to get maternity photos done because she was struggling with her body image. Pregnancy does some crazy things to your body, and it can definitely alter the way you see yourself.

Styling a Spring Maternity Session

My vision for these maternity photos were simple and clean. I really enjoy the cottage core vibe and I tried to achieve this by including cream colors and a clothesline. My style of photography goes well with neutrals and cream colors, so the outfits that the Kimball's chose made this session a breeze.

How did I meet Zach & Savannah?

I first met Zach through a previous job, and we quickly became friends. During one of our conversations, the topic of couples' photography came up, and Zach was immediately on board. We then worked together to plan a fun and memorable couples session.

Styling a winter couple's session

When we talked about the ideal outfits for their couples' session, I recommended sticking with creams, neutrals, and brown tones. These colors are versatile and ensure that any backdrop would complement their look, while also giving us the freedom to get creative with the landscape. It’s a simple yet effective way to let the environment shine without overwhelming the shot.

Why I chose the Devil's Den

When Zach and I started talking about doing a session, the idea of capturing something unique and atmospheric came up, and the Devil’s Den immediately came to mind. I thought the dramatic landscape would not only make for stunning photos but also add a layer of meaning to the shoot. The mix of history, natural beauty, and the slightly spooky vibe made it an unforgettable setting. We quickly planned the session around this spot, knowing it would create a memorable backdrop for the photos.
