how often do you stay up at night wondering about family photos?


I'm willing to bet you don't stay up at night with thoughts racing through your head of family photos. I'm willing to bet you've got bigger fish to fry. I'm guessing the only time you truly worry over it is when you needed it for a gift and you're now scrambling. Or there is some important milestone that is time sensitive and needs documenting...though sometimes professional photos can still be an afterthought.

And trust me, I get it. I really do. Even as a photographer.

But I also know that photos are really the only tangible legacy of US that will ever be left behind. I know the importance and the value and the honor of making someone's photograph. I know that photographs are among our most cherished and prized possessions.


So, what's the hold up on getting them done?

I don't know. Maybe the 8 million school activities? The ball games? The constant worry about what's for dinner and do you have everything you need to make it? Work? Making time for relationships? Did your kids get enough of you today?


I could literally go on and on and on and on with this.

So I think you see where I'm going, right?


If you want family photos, but the thought of them is overwhelming.... then you better read on because boy do I have a solution for you.

  • Besides just reaching out and scheduling with me (which is a super easy process in and of itself), you don't have to do anything. I want you just as your are. I want your house just as you are. Never home? No probs, I can come with you. I do it all the time. No it's not weird and I don't have a huge flash set up that's going to be crazy obvious. You eat, I eat with you, at the table with you. You go to the store, I go with you. I may even buy something too! haha! Headed to practice? Lucky for you, I am a pro at sitting at ballfields. I've caught many, many amazing sunsets at the ballfield!
  • These are authentic memories. If we're going these places or hanging out at home doing everything you normally do, it doesn't get more real than that! Tantrums don't scare me. I've been in the thick of motherhood right where you've been. There's no judgement from me. I just hang out with you and sit with you wherever you are in your journey.
  • If you haven't figured it out by now, I'll just go ahead and say it so there is no confusion. There is no posing. Ever. Except for the last 10 minutes of our session I make one loosely posed portrait for you (and let's be honest, for the grandparents!).
  • There's no need for perfect planning or coordinating your new outfits. I want to photograph you in whatever is your norm. Pro tip: Let your kids dress themselves! It's always epic.
  • There's minimal disruption to your daily life.
  • It's a super chill and relaxed vibe- I'm inviting you to just take a day to soak it all in.
  • These sessions are time saving and superefficient because there's little to no prep work needed.
  • These sessions make the most meaningful story filled photo albums. You will treasure these moments from your daily life forever, I promise.
  • These sessions are highly flexible. We go with the flow, it's adapted to your familial routine, and we work around YOUR schedule.
  • They reflect real family dynamics.
  • You can be yourself. Not someone else's version of you.
  • I'm going to choose real life every day over perfection. Imperfect is perfect.
