june 2026
When most people think of a parking garage, they probably don't imagine it as the perfect backdrop for a photo session. But throughout June, I had the opportunity to photograph several sessions in these often-overlooked spaces, and they reminded me why I love thinking outside the box.
Each session had its own personality. Some clients leaned into a sleek, urban vibe, while others brought warmth and playfulness that completely transformed the concrete surroundings. It's always amazing to see how a location that seems simple at first glance becomes unique through the people in front of the camera.
One of my favorite moments from these June sessions was incorporating a family's car into their photos. It wasn't just a prop—it was part of their story. Whether it was the vehicle they take on weekend adventures, school drop-offs, or everyday errands together, including it added a personal touch that made the images feel even more meaningful. Sometimes it's the little details that help preserve a season of life exactly as it was, and I love finding ways to make each session uniquely reflect the families I photograph.
If you've ever worried that your photo session needs an incredible destination to look amazing, I hope these galleries show that it's really about the connection, the light, and the moments we create together. Sometimes the most unexpected places end up producing some of the most memorable photographs.
A huge thank you to everyone who trusted me with their June sessions. Your laughter, energy, and willingness to embrace a unique location made every gallery special. I can't wait to share more from these sessions and continue finding beauty in places that often go unnoticed.
Kyle and Kimmy brought such an effortless mix of romance and playfulness to their session. From the way they laughed together to the quiet moments they shared between poses, every interaction felt genuine and full of joy. They weren't afraid to be themselves—stealing glances, joking around, and embracing each moment—which made their gallery feel natural, timeless, and uniquely theirs. Their connection was the kind that turns beautiful photos into meaningful memories, and it was such a joy to capture.
I've had the pleasure of photographing the Wegener family several times over the years, and one of the things I love most about working with them is that they're always up for whatever creative idea I have in mind. Whether it's trying a new location, experimenting with a different style, or embracing a fun concept, they trust the process and make it so much fun. They absolutely nailed the vibe of the parking garage mini session, bringing the perfect mix of personality, connection, and style. As always, spending time with them was a highlight, and I left the session already looking forward to the next time we get to create together.
This session was so much fun, especially with their Dodge Charger as part of the experience. It added the perfect edgy, modern vibe that fit the parking garage minis so well. The combination of the sleek car, the urban setting, and their playful connection made for such a unique gallery. I love when couples bring something personal into their session—it adds another layer to their story and makes the photos feel even more like them.
One of my absolute favorite sessions from these parking garage minis was with this sweet family and their Corvette. Bringing their family car into the session made the entire experience feel so personal and unique. It's not every day that you think to include a car in family photos, but it ended up being the perfect addition. The sleek, timeless look of the Corvette paired beautifully with the modern lines of the parking garage, creating images that felt both stylish and full of heart. Even more than that, you could tell this car was part of their family's story, which made every image feel that much more meaningful.
These photos have easily become some of my favorites that I've taken this year. They perfectly captured this season of life—the love they share, the fun they have together, and a piece of their family's story that they'll be able to look back on for years to come. I love creating images that go beyond just smiling at the camera, and this session did exactly that. I have no doubt these will be lifelong memories for their family, and I feel so honored that I got to document them in such a creative and memorable way.
Looking back on these June parking garage mini sessions, I'm so grateful for every family and couple who trusted my vision and embraced a location that was a little outside the box. Each session reminded me that the best photos aren't about finding the "perfect" backdrop—they're about capturing genuine connection, personality, and the little details that make your story unique. Whether it was bringing along a beloved family car, sharing playful moments together, or simply enjoying time with the people you love most, every gallery tells a story that is completely one of a kind. Thank you to everyone who made these sessions so memorable—I already can't wait to create more magic together.
