I am so honored to have the opportunity to preserve your precious family memories. As a mother and grandmother, I deeply understand the sentiment that while the days may feel long, the years pass by all too quickly. I bring this perspective into every session, capturing the sweet, fleeting moments you may not even realize are happening.

There is evidence that children who see their likeness displayed in their home grow up with a stronger sense of self-esteem and belonging. Let me help make this process easy and stress-free, so you can invest in timeless memories that will be cherished for generations to come.

Welcome

After photographing hundreds of families, I fully understand that booking a session is an investment of both time and money. That’s why I am committed to making the experience seamless, enjoyable, and truly worthwhile. From planning your session to delivering beautifully crafted images, my goal is to create timeless memories that will be cherished for years to come. Your family's story is unique, and I am honored to capture it in a way that reflects the love, joy, and connection you share.


Let's Connect

After your session is secured, we can start thinking about the perfect location. I’ve had the privilege of photographing in several beautiful spots that I’d be happy to recommend, but don’t hesitate to share your own ideas! You may have a special place that holds meaning for your family—whether it’s a favorite park, your own backyard, or a cherished family gathering spot. I love incorporating personal connections like that into your session, making your photos even more meaningful and unique to your story.

If picking out outfits for photos takes you back to your high school days when you literally tried on everything in your closet and piled it on your bed but still felt like you had nothing to wear, you're in luck. 

I offer each of my clients an online styling guide with tips and clothing ideas for every member of the family (even Fido!)

On the day of your session, we'll connect to make sure the weather still looks like it's going to corporate. We'll exchange numbers and finalize our meeting location. Please plan for your session to take about two hours from start to finish.

Perfect keepsakes.

REVIEW NO. 3 OF 3

Perfect for those who value legacy. These heirloom albums are a great way to house a large number of images in a beautiful way. Leave them on display as coffee table books or protect them with a legacy box. 

Albums

Our framed and matted prints are the perfect way to fill your walls with memories. With a variety of frames to choose from, we’ll help you select the perfect image pairings for your space. 


Prints & Wall Art

Easy to hang and easy to change out. Canvases are one of our favorite ways to decorate a space. They also work great on little easels placed around the home. 

Canvases

Your photos deserve more than just a spot on your phone or a quick scroll on social media—they should be lived with, loved, and displayed! Imagine walking by a framed photo that instantly brings you back to that joyful, love-filled moment. There’s something truly special about holding a high-quality print in your hands or flipping through an album that tells your story from start to finish. These aren’t just pictures; they’re memories meant to be seen, shared, and cherished for generations. So let’s get those gorgeous images off the screen and onto your walls, coffee tables, and keepsake albums—because your love story is too beautiful to stay digital!

bring your images to life with prints

Fine art prints

Yes, you are welcome to print the images on your own. If you do this, we recommend making sure that the printer does not color correct the images (many automatically do this.) We also recommend looking for a high quality printer. While 10 cent prints sound great in theory, the cheaper printing quality often won’t do your images justice. Paper quality, color correction and a handful of other factors play a big role in the way your prints turn out. This is one of the reasons why we LOVE offering prints to our clients. 

A:

Can I print the images on my own?

q:

While we don’t guarantee an exact number of images, we will make sure we capture your family thoroughly. Most families should expect to receive at least 25 edited images following their session. 

A:

How many images will I receive?

q:

We guarantee that your images will remain in an online gallery for at least a year. While your galleries may stay up longer than that, we cannot guarantee it. Once your galleries have been delivered, we highly recommend downloading all high resolution images to several devices. Consider investing in a portable, waterproof external hard drive.

A:

How long will I have access to the images?

q:

While turnaround times can vary by season, we aim to deliver all images within three weeks of your session. 

A:

When will I receive my images?

Questions

You are absolutely welcome to share images on social media. To ensure that our work is properly represented, we ask that you refrain from any edits. We also appreciate image credits and tags as they help us to continue to grow as a business. 

A:

Can I share the images on social media? 

q:

By default, the creators of images always own the rights to the images. However we’ll give you a release to use, print and share your images. The only thing you won’t be able to do is sell your image as a stock photo. We won’t do this either without your written permission. 

A:

Do I own the rights to the images?

q:

We typically plan about 90 minutes for sessions. While we likely don’t need to be shooting this entire time, this does give us the flexibility for location changes, rowdy kids and time to warm up. 

A:

How long should we plan for the session to take?

q:

We do light retouching on all of our images. This means that if there are any glaring objects that should be removed (such as a bump from the tumble your toddler took that morning,) we’ll remove it. Larger edits (such as removing tan lines,) require more time and would require us to add additional editing hours to your collection.  

A:

Will you retouch our images? 

q:

Thank you so much for considering me to document your family memories! If you’re interested in working with me, the next step is to set up a time to chat! You can reach me at
