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 you and your family will enjoy for many years to come.

Your family session doesn’t have to be stressful, exhausting, or awkward.
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, and I’ll personally be in touch to keep the conversation going. You'll also be sent a calendar to schedule a chat. 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.
Start the conversation
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 find wardrobe suggestions, how to prep (or not prep) your home, and what happens before, during, and after your session. Two weeks before your session, we will hop on a zoom call to meet "face to face", go over your session details, 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
During your session, 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, let the kids be kids, 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 any additional 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 create 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.

While I do believe in the value of digital files, I'm a big believer that images aren’t meant to solely exist in a digital space. One day, most likely, Instagram and Facebook will be gone, your phone will be replaced and images that you can physically hold in your hand will be the best way to remember those precious moments we captured.
Think about this fact: fifteen years ago, if I had delivered you digital images, they would have been on a floppy disk. With the fast updates to technology, you would have no way to access those images today. Even the online galleries we deliver will eventually fade away.
But prints? Those last. I bet your family still has images from your grandparents (maybe even great grandparents.) That's why all collections include a combination of artwork and digital files. I want all clients to have tangible art from their session- art they can pass along to the next generation.
Bring Your Images to Life as
art.
I take your and my family's health very seriously. Everyone in my household is vaccinated, and those of us who can be boosted, are. We wear masks to all sessions, and social distance as much as possible. If there is any concern about illness in your family or mine prior to our session, I am happy to reschedule!
The retainer fee is non-refundable but can be applied to a new date in some circumstances.
Contact me as soon as possible if you need a new date!
The sooner the better! I recommend booking your session up to 3 months ahead of time to ensure that you are able to reserve your desired date. If you are pregnant or want to book a newborn session, please reach out right away!
Sessions typically yield about 50-60 images. You can purchase some or all, it's up to you! Only buy what you love!
Wear something you are comfortable in, is true to your style, and makes you feel good! Nothing to loose or too tight.
Before your session, we'll discuss tips and more specific suggestions customized for you and your family.
No worries! The awesome thing is that I am not expecting them to! I place no expectations on your children but to be themselves!
