About The Studio

A simple, natural light studio space designed for timeless children’s portraits and milestone moments, without the overwhelm of a full session.

My in-home studio in South Gilbert is intentionally minimal, calm, and focused on your child just as they are. These sessions are perfect if you want beautiful images without a long shoot or a lot of prep.

This space is ideal for children’s portraits, first birthdays and cake smashes, and parents who want clean, classic images without a full lifestyle session.

What props do you have?

I keep the studio intentionally minimal so the focus stays on your child, not the setup.

Available studio pieces include:

  • A vintage high chair for cake smash sessions

  • A simple bench

  • A stool for personality portraits

Parents are always welcome to bring a child’s favorite stuffy or small comfort item, but the overall space is designed to stay clean, neutral, and timeless.

Is the studio indoors?

The studio is located in my garage, which is visible and accessible directly from the driveway, there’s no need to walk through my home.

During sessions, the garage doors remain open, allowing for natural light and airflow while we photograph. The space does not have a dedicated A/C unit, which is why sessions are kept intentionally short, seasonal minis are offered during cooler months, and summer sessions may include breaks or limited availability.

How many images are included?

I don’t cap image counts.

You’ll receive a full gallery of the best images from your session, thoughtfully culled and delivered. I believe in telling the whole story, not making you choose between moments.
