and Still Remember It All
browse the moments
These aren’t just party photos. They’re little stories of love, family, and that one beautiful afternoon.
What I Offer
Quiet, meaningful coverage of a day that deserves to be remembered.
I’m there to catch the real stuff: the little hands grabbing cake, the cousins playing on the floor, the look on your face when you realize how fast a year just flew by. The hugs, the quiet moments, the people who showed up.
It’s not loud or overproduced—it’s honest, beautiful storytelling you’ll actually want to hold onto.
What’s Included
- Up to 3 hours of coverage (most sessions are 2–3 hours)
- Coverage of the event, details, guests, cake (or no cake), hugs, laughs, and quiet moments
- An online gallery with all high-resolution digital images
- A simple, beautiful album with all your images printed for you

Why the Album Matters
Here’s the thing. Most people say, “We’ll just order prints later.” But later never happens. Life gets busy. The photos sit in a folder, maybe saved on a hard drive, maybe not. And this once-in-a-lifetime celebration becomes digital clutter.
That’s why I just include the album. It’s already done for you — printed, wrapped, and delivered. You don’t have to pick favorites or figure out where to print or worry about the quality.
Every single image from your gallery is printed in a leather-bound 4x6 album. That’s 300+ real photos you can hold, flip through, and pass down when your baby’s older.
This isn’t a bonus — it’s the best part. Because your child won’t scroll your hard drive someday. They’ll sit on your lap and flip through a book full of joy, love, and everyone who showed up for them.
You won’t have to pick your favorites. You won’t have to find a printer. You won’t have to add “make an album” to your to-do list. It’s all handled.
