— The mantra of Good Day Photography

We’re different here. What makes Good Day Photography unique…

The moments we forget all too soon,

are the ones we wish we could remember forever.

Why High School Seniors, Teens, Tweens and Littles

Raising a teen, tween AND toddler all at the same time I get a front row seat to the different stages of growth and self-discovery with a daily reminder to just how quickly those personality traits come-and-go. Some days it feels like I blink and they’ve all changed.

So with all the change and time that just doesn’t slow down, I want to help you remember and celebrate your quirks at every.single.age. Even the ages you may not want to remember, trust me - someday you will. Because those yearbook headshots and camera roll selfies only go so far. And future you and future generations will surely want quality, personality-led photos to go along with all those ‘remember when’ stories.

And let’s be real, all the growth and transitions from elementary school to middle school to high school are equally as challenging as they are fun. So if I can help you feel seen, supported, celebrated and confident… then that’s the cherry on top of what I do.

Vibe Check. We will be a good fit if you are a...

Nostalgia seeker

You can’t wait to share the photos on social media and fill the frames in your house with the new art, but your heart doubles in size thinking of passing the photos down and sharing them with future generations. So many laughs to be had over all those ‘remember when’ stories.

Kindness cheerleader

If you find yourself reinforcing the ‘be kind to others’ mantra as you drop your little humans off at activities, then we’ll get along just fine. I believe the world could use a little more kindness so I do my part to pass it onto others. So at Good Day Photography it’s ingrained in our DNA.

Value Connections > Transactions

No cookie-cutter photo sessions here. With an Introductory step after booking a session, we become insta-photo-pals long before picture day. That means a photo session is planned with you in mind, any styling or session questions are an easy go-to and you have comfort in knowing the person behind the camera instead of nervous first hellos on your big day.

Small business supporter

Metaphorically speaking, I’m a one (wo)man band. Photographer, photo editor, operations/admin, location scout, content creator, blogger, marketer, finance department… For someone that doesn’t wear hats, I sure do wear a lot of them and couldn’t be more humbled and grateful for this opportunity and support.
