capturing life's biggest moments and the people you love most

hi, we are Erin, Katie + Andrea
nice to meet you
Every chapter of your life deserves to be remembered—not just for how it looked, but for how it felt. The butterflies before "I do," the tiny fingers wrapped around yours, the laughter that fills your home, and the dreams you're building from the ground up. These moments pass in the blink of an eye, but their stories deserve to live on for generations.
Cedar + Moss was born in 2020 when three photographers, united by friendship and a shared vision, decided to combine their businesses into one studio. What started as a leap of faith quickly became something much bigger. It became a team of passionate creatives dedicated to documenting life's most meaningful moments.
Today, we're proud to be a full-service photography team specializing in weddings, families, newborns, and branding. Together, we've built a studio where every client is cared for, every detail matters, and every story is captured with authenticity.
We're more than coworkers, we're moms, dreamers, artists, and storytellers. We understand how quickly life changes because we're living it too.
Behind every gallery is an entire team with a simple approach: a great session is filled with genuine connection, honest emotion, and the little in-between moments instead of the perfectly posed photo.
If you're looking for natural family photography that celebrates genuine connection, authentic emotion, and timeless storytelling, we'd love to create something meaningful together.
