We are calling these The Sandy Keepsake Sessions — a lakefront mini session experience designed to feel effortless, nostalgic, and beautifully real.

This is not about stiff posing.

This is about sandy toes.
Wind-blown hair.
Sunlight dancing on the water.

Your babies running freely while I follow along, capturing the in-between moments that feel like the summers you never want to forget.

Lake sessions create space for genuine emotion. Little ones can splash, dig, explore, and simply be themselves — while I document the laughter, the snuggles, and the fleeting expressions that turn into keepsakes years from now.

These sessions are designed to feel lived-in, relaxed, and joyfully unscripted — while still delivering timeless, artful images.
