There is a particular kind of forgetting that happens in motherhood. It isn't dramatic. It doesn't announce itself. It just quietly settles in, somewhere between the middle-of-the-night feedings and the school drop-offs and the thousand small ways you pour yourself out every single day. And one morning you catch a glimpse of yourself in the mirror and realize you can't quite remember the last time you felt truly seen.

Spring sessions have quietly become some of my favorite sessions of the entire year. Not because of flowers or trends or perfect weather… but because this is often the last season before everything feels full again. It’s one of the few times when families allow themselves to slow down and be taken care of instead of rushing from one thing to the next.

Inside my natural-light studio in Folsom, I’ve created a space where families can simply arrive, breathe, and be held in this season. A place where you don’t have to worry about tidying your home, packing everything perfectly, or feeling rushed. Just a calm environment where your story can unfold naturally

Photographing families as they grow, here in El Dorado Hills and throughout the Sacramento area, has taught me that time doesn’t slow down. But memory can be held. Gently. Intentionally. With care.

And if I’m lucky enough to keep walking alongside your family as your story unfolds, I promise to keep honoring it just as it is. Unposed. Unrushed. Full of heart.
