Jess caught the most special moments with my boys and me. She really saw US in the way that I do. I can't explain what an amazing job she does in making us all feel comfortable and creating the most beautiful images.

Hey Mama, have you ever had some family photos done and felt like they were a little too perfect? And maybe it felt as if they didn't truly reflect your family? Maybe like they were a little...generic? Yeah, I take a much different approach whether it's in home or on location and generic is just not how I roll.
Wanna know a secret about me? Small talk makes me incredibly uneasy. I don't want to talk about the weather. I want to talk about things that matter, what excites you, your most cherished memories, why you love the folks you love. I wanna get straight to the point.
My main mission is to show your family in an artfully honest way, because perfect is boring...but I do believe your ordinary ol' life is awesome just the way it is and that it's totally okay to look at motherhood through rose colored glasses and romanticize the crap out of your life.
I mean...I do.
Food for thought: consider booking a Day in the Life Session for a truly unique photographic experience!
Imagine pushing pause on a single day in your life...
What would that look like for you? Think about what days you love the most, what type of days fill you with the most joy. Is it the cozy ones at home? Or the ones where you are out on an adventure? Is it doing errands around town (the fun ones of course!)? Whichever of those days give you the feels, that's what I want to document for you. That's what I want you to push pause on.
I know that motherhood often comes with an immense invisible load. I see you, mama. I want to shoot for you in the same exact way I would approach photographing my own family, without bias or restraint, just making art from your ordinary moments. It's a powerful thing when you can just hand that load over to me.
I'm inviting you to take a step back, slow down, push pause, and be intentional with your time for just a little bit with me.

why choose a family session with me?
- This will be the easiest photo session of your life. I come and hang out with your family for the day or afternoon, however long you choose. It's a no pressure, no stress atmosphere- that way you get those amazing images that truly show your family's personality. Even the self proclaimed "photo haters" have a much easier time! And hey, you don't have to drag your toddlers to a sunset session after bedtime and expect them to act right! Haha, that sounds like a recipe for disaster!
- My unique style and point of view can help you tell your family's story, but also document some really precious key moments in time. After all, I'm shooting from the perspective of a mother.
- I aim to capture the moments that really matter- even the messy ones, the ones that in 20 years are going to take your breath away and leave you with the sweetest nostalgia.
- PS- if you need a flexible payment plan, please let me know, I'm happy to help!
