Moon Media Turns ONE
🌙🎂

One whole year of creating, learning, growing, and capturing your stories.

September marks one year of Moon Media, and honestly, it’s a little surreal to type that.

What started as me taking a chance on myself and my photography has grown into something I’m incredibly proud of. This past year has brought families, couples, mamas, babies, seniors, local businesses, events, creative shoots, new friendships, collaborations, and so many moments I’ve had the privilege of capturing.

It hasn’t all been perfect. I’ve learned a LOT, changed things along the way, stepped outside of my comfort zone more times than I can count, and continued figuring out what I want Moon Media to become. But looking back at where I started compared to where I am now makes me so excited for what comes next.

More than anything, I’m thankful for you guys. Every booking, referral, share, comment, collaboration, and person who has trusted me behind the camera has helped turn this little dream into my real-life business.

Thank you for one incredible year of Moon Media. 🤍

Here’s to year TWO, bigger dreams, more stories, and plenty more magic behind the lens. 🌙✨

Happy birthday, Moon Media. 🥹🎂

✨ Lately at Moon Media

Motherhood in the Studio 🤍

There’s something so special about documenting the anticipation before a new little life arrives. This recent maternity session was full of soft, intimate moments and gave me another opportunity to create the dreamy studio maternity work I’ve been loving lately.

A Little Love Story 🖤

Recently, I also had the opportunity to document a couple and the connection they share. Couples sessions will forever be one of my favorites because no two relationships look the same. The little glances, laughs, and ways people naturally fall into each other are always my favorite moments to capture.

Sunflower Season 🌻

I also got to spend some time out in the sunflower fields, and they were every bit as dreamy as I hoped. Golden light, rows of blooms, and that late-summer feeling made for such a fun session. If sunflower photos have been on your list, now is definitely the time to book before the blooms are gone for the season!
