Family is special. The work you're doing raising your family is the most important and fulfilling (and hard) work you'll ever do. And you know it, which is why you want to document it in a meaningful way!

A sentimental at heart, I love to focus not only on making nice pictures where everyone is actually looking (we will definitely get those too), but also really concentrating on your unique family connections, and using fun prompts and actions to bring out genuine smiles.

Lastly, I love to take photos outdoor photos during golden hour and incorporating that beautiful sunset glow is a cornerstone of my work.

FAQ

Q: Can you help me find a location to take photos?

A: Yes. If you work with me, I have a whole location guide with example images I can send to you!

FAQ

Q: What if my kids are crazy?

A: What kid isn't crazy? Honestly - I only remember one kid who did exactly as I asked. Every other kid runs around, yelling, rolling around in the dirt. That's what kids do! And your photos will be great regardless :)

My sessions are fun and family centered. I have never had to reschedule because of a meltdown or tantrum. I love working with kids, and I am more than happy to pivot as needed.
