WHAT CAN YOU EXPECT FROM YOUR PHOTO SESSION?
Whether it's your first or fifteenth time having professional photos made, not to worry: I'll walk you through the whole thing from start to finish.
HOW IT WORKS
-
To make sure you're fully prepared, I'll send you a copy of my Client Guide. (Or you can download it for free here.) This comprehensive document will answer all your questions, providing insights into how to prepare for your playful family photo shoot. From tips on how to relax beforehand to what to do with phones and bags, this guide is designed to ensure your experience is enjoyable and stress-free.
-
Before anything is official, we talk. A quick phone consultation: no pitch and no pressure, just a real conversation. We’ll talk about what you're hoping for, what makes your family tick, and whether we feel like a good fit for each other. I'll walk you through my process and pricing in full (what you see is what you get, always). And I genuinely want to hear about everyone — kids, partners, and yes, the four-legged family members, too. If we decide to move forward together, a $200 session fee holds your date. Simple as that. Ready to start the conversation?
-
Once you're ready to move forward, we'll choose a date, sign the contract, and pay the $200 session fee to reserve your spot on my calendar.
In the weeks leading up to your session, I'll be in touch with helpful emails, tips, and a little encouragement along the way. My goal is for the day to arrive with you feeling prepared, excited, and ready to be fully present with the people you love.
-
On shoot day, I don’t show up with a shot list; I show up curious. The first thing I'll ask your kids? Show me your space. Show me where you like to play. That's where everything real lives.
As for you, wear what's comfortable and what makes you feel like you. Hot tip: the portraits that stop you in your tracks years from now aren't the ones where everyone’s stiff and matching. They're the ones where you forgot you were being photographed.
I work loosely, asking questions, and following your family's energy rather than fighting it. It's less of a “session” and more of a collaboration — part information gathering, part just playing.
The framing and the light find you. That's the whole idea. -
Around two to three weeks after your session, I’ll send you a private link to view your beautifully edited images — hooray! Once you’ve had a chance to preview them all, you can decide which of my collections you’d like to purchase.
-
Along with a virtual stack of digital images, each collection option comes with a print credit, so you can get your favorite pictures where they belong: in print, where you can see them each and every day. The collection options range between $600 and $1,025, depending on the number of digital images you need. All told, my clients invest between $800 and $1,225 in their images.
I capture a mix of candid moments and what I call "the secret sauce" for capturing those genuine connections and laughter in front of the camera. Whether it's a quirky question, a playful prompt, or a hilarious challenge, we'll turn those moments into unforgettable shots that showcase the true spirit of your family. Get ready for a laughter-filled photo session where every click tells a story.
I want you to relax and enjoy your family, knowing that you will leave this experience with tangible evidence of your connection to each other, moments in time you can treasure long after your little ones are grown.
IN EACH SESSION:
what about pricing?
If you’ve ever shopped for art of any kind before, you know prices are all over the map… and that’s certainly true with photography as well. And like with other art, those prices aren’t easily compared — it’s not apples to apples.
With a session fee of $200 and fully custom collections ranging from $600 to $1,025, my work may not be the cheapest in the area, but it's certainly one of the best values. My unique process ensures you'll get exactly what you want (along with as much – or as little – guidance as you need), and end up with beautiful images AND prints to enjoy for years to come.
AT HOME OR IN THE WILD?
Let's start with a few questions:
Are you the type that treasures home sweet home, embracing the chaos of everyday life?
Or do you lean more towards outdoor adventures, conquering streams, woods, and local parks?
Let's unravel your family's narrative and pick the perfect backdrop for our photographic adventure!
No matter the location we'll engage in fun activities and genuine connection.
Yeah, we’re talking to you, mama.
The camera comes up, and suddenly, you're in a mental gymnastics routine: What does my hair look like? What am I wearing? I don’t like my (insert body part) in this outfit. That inner critic has been running the show for too long. But here’s the truth: this is your life, and you deserve to be in it.
In 5, 10, or 20 years, will you look back at your family photos and see yourself missing? Will your kids have pictures of the person who held them, played with them, loved them? Or will there be gaps where you should be—because self-doubt kept you invisible?
You deserve to be in the photos! If you’re feeling some type of way about having your picture taken, read more on my blog for journal prompts.

differences welcomed
No two families are the same. And that’s the beauty of it. I specialize in capturing atypical families. Whether that means a neurodivergent kid that needs just a little more patience or a family of two moms… I want to capture you just as you are.
I have a no hate policy and strive to be very inclusive. I want you to feel safe in the space we share together. I am:
LGBTQ+ AFFIRMING
A CHAMPION OF DIVERSE BODY TYPES
NEURODIVERGENCE FRIENDLY
ANTI-RACIST AND FEMINIST
Every family has a season worth remembering. If you're ready to capture yours, I would love to hear from you.
