When you’re caught in the whirlwind of a busy life, the idea of booking a family photo session can feel overwhelming. Trust me...I can totally relate! This is why I’ve created an effortless experience that will help you feel confident from booking day to delivery day and beyond.
Imagine the opportunity to put down the camera and step into the frame for once. And imagine doing it without feeling rushed, pressured, or stressed by a need to keep the little ones in line because you know you can trust your photographer. This is what I hope to bring you.
Whether you’re looking for something silly and spontaneous or relaxed and relatable, we can create the perfect session just for you. With my husband, who serves as my talented client concierge, along for the ride, we ensure everyone feels confident and cared for throughout the photography process. And once the camera has finished clicking, we transform your breathtaking photos into the art that will decorate your walls for years to come.
Ready to learn how I do it and what I offer?
Explore the experience and the session styles I offer below!
Preserving your family’s story doesn’t have to be
stressful, exhausting, or uncomfortable.
All you have to do to begin the adventure is send an inquiry my way! Share a bit about the session you’re hoping to plan, along with a good time for a no-pressure consultation call, and I’ll be in touch within a day to keep the conversation going. During our call, feel free to ask all the questions you have about the photography process. And before you ask, yes, it’s totally fine if your kids can’t sit still! If you feel we are a perfect fit, I’ll send the agreement and retainer invoice your way. Once I receive both back from you, crank the Bruno Mars, Beyoncé, or whatever gets you in a party mood because you’ve just booked your family photographer!
WHETHER YOU’RE READY TO BOOK OR JUST WANT TO KNOW MORE, AN INQUIRY IS THE PLACE TO START.

Prepare for Your Session
My goal is to make sure you feel 100% confident about every aspect of your session, and that starts on day one! Immediately after you’ve booked your session, I’ll send an in-depth session guide your way. In it, you’ll learn more about choosing your wardrobe, selecting your location, and preparing for the session itself. Two weeks before your session, I’ll email you a questionnaire that will help me customize your session to perfection. Then, with just one week to go, we will hop on a call to go over the details once more and answer any final questions. And if a new question or concern should arise at any point in the journey, I’m always just an email away!
YOU DON’T HAVE TO DO IT ALONE! I’LL MAKE SURE YOU HAVE EVERYTHING YOU NEED FOR AN AMAZING SESSION.
enjoy time with your loved ones
After all the preparation, now your only responsibility is to have a fun time with your family! Through gentle direction and prompting, I’ll help you settle into natural interactions and moments that feel authentic to you. The most important thing for you to do is have fun! We’ll play some music and laugh a whole bunch as we totally change the way you think of family photo sessions forever. Get ready to have a blast!
WITH THE PREP BEHIND US, NOW YOU GET TO JUST CONNECT SINCERELY WITH YOUR FAVORITE PEOPLE ON THE PLANET.
relive the best moments
Just two weeks or less after your unforgettable session, I’ll notify you that your images are all edited and ready to view. We’ll then schedule an in-person or Zoom session for your reveal and ordering appointment. During this session, you’ll get to see aaaaaall your images, choose which ones you’d like to keep, and order the artwork that will decorate your home. I offer fully customizable physical products with a wide range of colors and styles, but don't worry about getting overwhelmed! I'll use my eye for design to help you design each heirloom.
GET READY TO SMILE, LAUGH, AND MAYBE EVEN WIPE AWAY A TEAR AS WE EXPLORE THE ART WE CREATED TOGETHER.
fill your walls with love
I know you can’t wait to decorate your home with your radiant family photos, and I can’t wait to get them to you! So, just a month after your ordering appointment, your artwork will arrive, and we’ll set a time for your in-person delivery. For years to come, you’ll be able to enjoy the artwork we’ve created together, and then pass them on to future generations of your family still to come.
THIS IS WHAT IT’S ALL ABOUT: TRANSFORMING MOMENTS WITH THE PEOPLE YOU LOVE INTO LASTING HEIRLOOMS
