BRING ME ALL THE MULLETS!

It’s ’MERICA MINI SESSIONS! This Saturday June 13th!

Come celebrate ‘Merica’s 250th with me! Take memories to look back on!

These sessions are packed with all the red, white, blue, vintage summer, small-town-America goodness your heart can handle. Think flags, sunshine, laughter and popsicles!

Because one day these little firecracker humans will be grown up, and you’ll want to remember the summer when they thought life was all popsicles, freedom, and staying outside until the streetlights came on.

Spots are limited, so grab yours before they’re gone faster than a hot dog at a Fourth of July cookout. 🌭🇺🇸

Drop a 🇺🇸 below for details or DM me to reserve your spot!

I know what you’re thinking…

“Who looked at a porcelain sink and thought, ‘You know what this needs? A baby and maybe some ducklings!’”

Me. It was me. 😂

I knew I wanted to have a porcelain laundry sink in my new satellite studio in downtown Pendleton.

And honestly? Zero regrets.

Because there is something ridiculously adorable about chubby baby cheeks, fluffy ducklings, tiny splashes, and complete chaos all happening at once.

Did the ducklings cooperate? Actually yes!
Did the baby try to adopt one? No, but the parents thought about it!
Did someone get unexpectedly wet? Mostly me!

But that’s part of the magic.

These sessions were so sweet, silly, a little unpredictable, and done to make your grandma say, “Oh my goodness!” approximately 47 times.

This summer is a good time for your baby to get a porcelain sink bath! Can be done with fruit, flowers or maybe a duckling or two!

Thanks @blueridgeacressc for the use of your precious ducklings!

*no ducklings or babies were harmed*

Sandlot session!

This crew brought full Sandlot energy — big personalities, bigger laughs, and just enough chaos to make Babe Ruth proud.

Somewhere between the fake tough poses, the grass-stained knees, and someone definitely yelling “YOU’RE KILLING ME, SMALLS,” I captured the magic of being one of the “Boys of Summer”. ☀️⚾

No phones. No pressure.

Just best friends, baseball, and memories that feel like childhood.

Honestly? This session smelled faintly of bubble gum, dust, and bad decisions at second base. And I loved every second of it.

Sandlot sessions are great fun for any baseball team that want to capture memories with their teammates! And so easy to do!

Do you have a team that wants to do this?

Email me at shillfrm@aol.com or comment “sandlot” for more info! ⚾️

You don’t want to have to plan every detail.

Let me make it easy for you.

DM today to schedule your photo experience.

A new gallery went out today for a first time client….from Pendleton!!! Yay! I’m excited to have my satellite studio open there very soon where I can meet more Pendletonians! Pendletonians? Pendletonies?
If you’re passing by 102 Exchange St in downtown Pendleton ask Brett when my studio will be finished!! 😆

She may never wear it down the aisle... but she can wear it straight into your heart.

Imagine your little girl wrapped in the dress that held one of the happiest days of your life.

The lace. The buttons. The memories stitched into every detail.

These Mommy’s Wedding Dress Mini Sessions are more than photos. They’re a love story told across generations. A moment where past meets present in the sweetest, most unforgettable way.

One day she’ll look back and see how tiny she was... how beautitul you were... and how deeply she was loved before she could even understand it.

PRETTY IN PURPLE! How sweet is this cake smash and this little face?!?!

My favorite sessions are my Cake Smash & Splash mini sessions!

I make it so easy! I provide the smash item…..also included in the session cost is the 5ft balloon garland from @dacusvilleballoonco and I also coordinate with you on the set up to create a custom design based on your child’s birthday theme and/or favorite things!

All you have to do is show up!

Parents don’t book a photo session because they need pictures.

They book because they don’t want to forget this stage of their child’s life.

But I also know something else is true…

When you invest in photos, you don’t want it to feel like a gamble.

You want to know the photographer will:

✨ connect with your child

✨ capture their real personality

✨ guide you through the whole experience

✨ deliver images you’ll actually treasure

That’s the part I take very seriously.

For years I’ve photographed hundreds of kids, and my goal has never been just “getting the shot.” It’s creating portraits that feel like your child right now — the expressions, the joy, the little details you never want to forget.

So when parents walk away from a session, I want them to feel one thing:

“That was worth every dollar.”

If you’ve been thinking about Spring Kids Minis, this is your little nudge. 🌷

These sessions are designed to be easy, joyful, and full of personality — and I would absolutely love to photograph your child.

Spots are limited, so grab one while they’re still available.
