Finding the perfect photographer for your family is about so much more than pretty pictures—it’s about trust, connection, and feeling seen. Whether you’re planning a maternity session, newborn portraits, or a yearly family shoot, choosing the right person behind the lens makes all the difference in how your photos look—and how they feel. Here’s what […]

When you think about booking a photo session, chances are you picture perfectly posed smiles, everyone looking at the camera, coordinated outfits, and maybe even a little stress leading up to it all. Sound familiar? At Rebel and Lace, I do things a little differently. Yes, I’ll guide you into beautiful lighting and flattering poses, […]

When you’re preparing to capture the beauty of your pregnancy, one of the first decisions you’ll face is where to have your maternity photos taken. Should you choose a serene outdoor setting filled with golden light or the controlled comfort of a cozy studio? Both have their magic—so here’s a breakdown of the pros and […]

As pet parents, we wish our furry best friends could stay by our side forever. Their unconditional love, tail wags, and quiet companionship become the rhythm of our lives. But as our dogs age, their muzzles silver and their steps slow—and every moment becomes even more precious. That’s why I’m so passionate about senior dog […]

The first year of your baby’s life goes by in the blink of an eye—one moment you’re feeling those first little kicks, and the next you’re planning a first birthday party with a cake bigger than their head. (No judgment—I love a good smash cake!) Capturing your baby’s journey from bump to one is one […]

Family photos are meant to be joyful, natural, and a little magical—but let’s be real, getting kids camera-ready can feel like herding cats.

We live in a digital world, and it’s amazing—sharing your favorite photo with Grandma is just a text away.

I didn’t always know how important photographs really were—at least not in the way I do now. When my dad passed away in 2024, everything shifted. In the haze of grief, I found myself desperately searching for recent photos—something, anything—that captured our relationship, our connection, the way we laughed together. What I found instead were […]

Bringing a baby into the world is one of the most emotional, beautiful, and life-changing experiences you’ll ever have—and it’s also one of the fastest seasons to slip by. That’s why I love capturing newborn portraits: to freeze time and preserve those tiny details, sleepy stretches, and tender new beginnings forever. If you’ve booked a […]

One of the most common questions I get before a session is: “What should we wear?” And honestly, I love that question—because wardrobe choices can completely transform the feel of your photos. The good news? You don’t have to overthink it. When in doubt, I always recommend timeless, classic styles that photograph beautifully and won’t […]
