You feel it too, right?
That good energy at this time of year where life feels a bit more exciting, electric, and dare I say, magical? Not just the twinkling lights and cozy vibes (yes, those are pretty great), but that buzz of possibility hanging in the air. I hope we all have another great holiday season and then let’s take a collective deep breath before diving into something new.
2025 gave it all. The messy bits, the wins, the “did that really just happen?” moments. All of it. And now we get to turn the page.
Here’s what I love about new beginnings: they don’t require perfection. They just require showing up. Whatever you’re dreaming about for 2026; finally taking that trip, being more present, laughing more, stressing less, or just figuring things out as you go , it all counts. It all matters.
So here’s to closing this year with gratitude and opening the next one with arms wide open. To saying yes to joy. To being kinder to ourselves. To making memories that stick.
The best is yet to come, friends. I can feel it.

A Gift that gives for a lifetime!
A portrait is more than a gift, it’s a moment preserved, a feeling held still. Long after the wrapping paper is gone, it becomes a quiet reminder of love, connection, and who you were together in this season of life. As years pass and children grow, its value only deepens, turning everyday moments into something extraordinary. Given once, cherished for a lifetime, a portrait becomes a lasting legacy and one that is felt every time it’s seen.
At our studio we have created an all inclusive portrait experience to be gifted instead of a simple dollar amount. This allows the gift receiver use this portrait collection in its entirety without any obligation of spending more to receive a beautiful wall portrait.
Included is ONE family studio portrait session. guidance on outfit choices/posing/expression & connection, PLUS one 11×14 matted print to display any where in the home. We package the gift for you with a beautiful gift mini portrait book fully describing our studio and next steps.
