Everything you need to know about family portrait sessions
families
Regardless of the season that you're in, and whether your babies are big, small or furry, this time in your life deserves to be captured by something other than your iPhone. Family sessions were born when more and more clients in the salon would ask me to photograph their families. I love that I already felt connected to them through doing their hair. That connection is something I bring to every session. My goal is to create images that feel relaxed, honest, and deeply you.
Everything you need to know about family portrait sessions
Family portraits aren't about perfection, they're about presence. My approach is calm, guided, and intentional, creating space for your family to be together. I focus on capturing connection, personality, and the quiet in between moments that reflect who you are in this season of life. The result is timeless imageries that feel natural. I don't want to just show you photos of what your family looked like, but what it felt like.

What people are saying
Above all, my approach to family photography is rooted in connection over perfection. You don't need matching outfits, perfect behavior, or a picture perfect version of your life to belong here. What you need is to simply show up as you are. My goal is to create space where you can be fully present with the people you love, trusting the images we create will feel true to you.
what to expect
Your session includes a curated online gallery of fully edited, high resolution images that reflect your family honestly and beautifully. These images are meant to be lived with, printed, framed, shared, and returned to years from now. I focus on capturing a blend of candid interactions and timeless portraits so that your gallery tells a complete story of this season.
designed to feel easy
Each session includes guidance before your shoot to help you feel prepared. From what to wear to what to expect, so you can arrive feeling confident and present. During our time together, I gently direct when needed while leaving space for real moments to unfold, allowing your family's natural dynamic to lead.

QUESTIONS
What do we wear?
Once your session is booked, I send a style guide to help with outfit planning. It includes tips on colors, textures, and coordination so your photos feel timeless and cohesive.
What location should we do them at?
In the guide I send you, it will have a list of locations for you to choose from. Of course we can always photograph your session elsewhere if there is somewhere meaningful to you.
When can we expect to receive the images?
Family sessions are delivered within a few weeks of your session.
What if my kids don't cooperate?
This is something that most families worry about and it's completely ok. My sessions are relaxed and flexible, with plenty of space for kids to be themselves. Some of the most meaningful moments come from those in between moments, not the perfect smiles.
