Now that I’m officially caught back up on blogging (OMG please pause for a moment of silence to take joy in this), OBSESSIONS are returning to the blog! Plus I’m hoping to add lots of variety to the blog to break up all the pretty weddings and engagement sessions posts :)

For March, the story has been MOISTURIZE! My skin took a serious beating this winter. All life was sucked from it, leaving me looking/feeling like I aged 10 years. Positive self-esteem was a challenge! But have no fear, I found some super amazing products that I’m going crazy over!!

This face moisturizer // My fave was where I felt like I all of a sudden aged with winter. I started using this stuff a couple month ago, and saw a big difference! It brought beauty and youth and softness back in my face. With how much I love this, I just may try their whole face line! I try to use this every AM then rotate between this and another product (to be featured in a future OBSESSION post) at night!

This lip balm // Let us know forget how important it is to moisturize those pretty lips :) (HINT: moisturized lips hold lip color better!) This has been my jam for a long time. I stumbled on it last fall sometime. The egg shape really turned me off. It seemed so oddly shaped and just too large. But oh my goodness, guys, I love this. It moisturizes fabulously and the flavor/smell is my hands-down fave!

This coconut melt // Hands down, this is my #1 OBSESSION!! I’m utterly infatuated with this. I somehow came across the company on Instagram. Was intrigued by their products and their branding was on point, so I figured “hey why not give it a try!” and OMG I’m so glad I did. This stuff is a wax melt. I was so confused at first because it’s hard. There’s a little spoon for you to scrape the melt. Once it goes into your hands, it almost instantly melts. I can’t tell you enough how moisturizing this is!! I put it all over, though haven’t tried my face yet. But new life enters your skin with this :) As for the smell, I remember thinking it was a little odd at first but now I love it!

This nourishing hair mask // Ever wonder why your hair gets a little stringier, more straw like? Well aside from maybe needing a hair cut (reminder Jenna, get your hair did), our hair and scalp dry out like crazy in the winter! It’s super important to nourish our hair and help add extra moisture back into it during the cooler months! This stuff is great. It’s technically for damaged hair, but I’m pretty sure everyone’s hair is damaged somehow so this can be used by all! I try to only wash my hair every 3 days or longer (if I can), and I’ll do a mask of this in the shower. I leave it on for 5 minutes, then wash out. Or if you have a relaxed day inside, hop out of the shower and put this in your hair with a towel around it, then hop back in the shower 45 minutes later!

With an eye for detail and a heart for connection, I specialize in refined and intentional portraits. From families and newborns to engagements and milestones, my work is guided by emotional storytelling — capturing honest moments and meaningful connection through luminous, editorial imagery. I value natural light and thoughtful composition, creating photographs that feel artful, elevated, and deeply personal.
