capturing
the beauty of motherhood
at a time
one timeless moment
motherhood is a journey of fleeting moments -- pregnancy, with it's quiet anticipation, the newborn stage filled with tender firsts, and the daily milestones that seem to pass in the blink of an eye.
These moments, though brief, are the heart of your story, a legacy of love and connection that deserves to be preserved. A motherhood session is more than just photographs; it's a way to freeze time, capturing the emotions, the details, and the bonds that define this season of your life.
BEHIND THE LENS
ABOUT ling
Capturing natural and joy-filled images for young families.
When I'm not behind the lens, you can find me reading on my kindle, cooking, working out or chauffeuring my kids around. I'm happily married to my best-friend for 13 years (and counting) and am a former elementary school teacher. I'm also a home body, and organization queen.
My role as a mom has taught me that at the end of the day, our possessions and daily stresses won’t matter. Instead, our kids will cherish the joyful experiences we shared—the trips, spa days, and special moments that shaped their childhood. Those memories are what they will hold close to their hearts.
And I want nothing more than to help capture photographs that preserve the emotions and stories that define your family -- turning fleeting moments into lasting treasures.

my lifestyle APPROACH:
capturing candid interactions between YOU & your loved ones
As your Mckinney newborn photographer, I strive to showcase your family in a way that highlights your love for one another -- the beautiful moments that can’t be recreated.
This approach is done with gentle prompts allowing you to simply focus on being in the moment. I aim to capture all the little details that tell the story of your family. The hand holding, laughs, tight hugs, snuggles or giggles while the littles are tossed in the air. I want you to be able to one day look back at these images and be reminded of that special moment in what may have seemed like such a chaotic or busy season. These are all the beautiful moments that truly define your legacy.
