There’s never a dull moment when the whole family gets together, and the Crane family certainly proved that! From lots of laughter and silly moments to sweet memories shared between generations, this extended family beach session was filled with so much love and personality.

And there was even more to celebrate! One of the families had some exciting news to share, a sweet little one is on the way! What a special time to capture the entire family together as they celebrate this newest blessing.

Leave a comment

There is something so special about getting to capture a family as it grows! 🤍

It was such a joy to capture this beautiful maternity session for Matt & Stephanie as they prepare to welcome their precious baby boy, Lucas, in just a few short months. We had the honor of capturing so many special memories for them when they were expecting their first baby boy, Ryan, which made having him there for this chapter even sweeter.

Watching Ryan love on Mommy and be a part of celebrating his baby brother made the evening extra special. Baby Lucas is already surrounded by so much love, and we know Matt, Stephanie & Ryan simply cannot wait to welcome him into their family!

They spent this beautiful fall evening making memories together that they will cherish for a lifetime, and we feel so blessed to have been there to capture another special chapter in their family’s story.

It is always such a joy to spend the evening with the sweet Thompson family! This session was extra special as we celebrated the exciting anticipation of their precious baby girl joining the family.

One of my favorite moments was seeing just how much the boys have grown and being able to recreate a photo from when they were little. Those full-circle moments are such a gift!

There was so much love, laughter, and joy throughout the evening, and God blessed us with another beautiful summer sunset as the perfect backdrop. The Thompson family made memories that they will cherish for generations to come, and I am so thankful I had the honor of preserving this special season of their lives. Congratulations on your sweet little blessing, we can’t wait to meet her!

Celebrating Mothers Day

Leave a comment

Celebrating some of our past Mothers in honor of Mother’s Day! 🤍

As moms, we are so often the ones behind the camera — capturing the little moments, fixing the outfits, wiping sandy faces, and making sure everyone else’s memories are preserved. But your children deserve to have memories with you in them too. Years from now, these photographs will become some of their most treasured keepsakes — reminders of your love, your laughter, your hugs, and the way you showed up for them in every season of life.

It is so important for us moms to step into the frame. Not because everything has to be perfect, but because these moments matter. The messy hair, sandy toes, sun-kissed cheeks, and sweet embraces are the memories your children and husbands will cherish for a lifetime.

One day these images will tell your family’s story — the season you were in, the love you shared, and the beautiful memories you made together along the way.

“The sand will brush off… the tans will fade and the salt will wash away, but the memories will last forever.”
