Ditch those cringe-worthy family photo sessions! No more stiff poses, fake smiles, or matching outfits—thank you, but no thanks! Instead, let’s capture the silly faces, genuine laughter, and real family connection. Book a session that gives you images you’ll want to shout about and share with the world!
Every family session with me is an adventure! We’ll start by getting to know each other so you feel like a rockstar during your shoot. Got little ones? No sweat! As a mom of two lively boys and a pint-sized princess, I totally get the parenting hustle and those rapid growth spurts.
My focus is on capturing your family just as they are—no forced smiles, no awkward posing, just pure fun and giggles. If you’re looking for a photographer who’s like a fun aunt, a silly best friend, and a major hype person, I’m your girl! I’ll make sure every session runs smoothly and captures the true essence of your loved ones. These are the moments your heart will cherish forever!

Absolutely! After booking, feel free to email me for location suggestions that suit your vision and preferences. I like to tailor locations to my clients.
Can you recommend a location for family photos?
I don’t limit the number of photos in family galleries because every moment matters. You’ll receive a minimum of 15 images for a standard family session and at least 30 for extended family sessions. The typical turnaround time is about 14 business days.
How many digital images will we receive, and what is the turnaround time?
Yes, I photograph both candid and posed moments during every session. I’ll give you a pose and a prompt, and then capture the natural reactions and connections that follow.
Can we have both candid and posed images?
Heartfelt pet tributes sessions are deeply personal and emotional. I approach these with sensitivity and care, focusing on capturing the special bond between you and your pet. We’ll work together to create a respectful and heartfelt tribute to your beloved companion.
How do you handle heartfelt pet tributes sessions?
Skip the solid-colored shirts for the whole family! Wear what makes you feel comfortable and confident. If you need any help with outfit choices or have questions, I’m here to assist!
What should we wear?
Under 'family photography,' I offer a variety of sessions including classic family portraits, family with pets, generational sessions, senior photos, engagements, and heartfelt pet tribute sessions. I also provide maternity and lifestyle sessions that capture everyday moments. For newborns, I focus on fresh 48 sessions to document those early hours, rather than posed newborn sessions in a studio setting.
