The wild, messiness of the family is bonded together with the thread of romance.
Closeness to those you hold dear to your heart On filmThere’s no such thing as a perfect photo, but there is such a thing as a perfect memory. When you look at your family photos, I want the interactions to be so genuine that all you see is the way your child is looking at you, not the strands of hair out of place.

Honestly most aren’t and that is okay. What is most important is that there is good light and a clean, non cluttered space to work with. If you’d like to send me a video of your home before you book to make sure it will work, that would be great. But honestly, most houses are fantastic for in home sessions.

So many reasons! Here are just a few. Kids have access to their snacks, toys, and a potty if needed. You don’t have to load kids into a car and worry if they melt down or fall asleep. (You also don’t have to drag Dad into the car too;) ) I come to you and don’t we all love when things are just delivered to us (hello doordash, Amazon, and instacart). You home is where you feel most comfortable. It is private and unique to you. Need I go on?

That depends on your home just a little. If the majority of your large windows are facing East then the late morning. If the windows face West the early afternoon. If you are worried that your home is too dark for an in-home session, please contact me and I can’t help figure it out.

In-home sessions are so breezy and casual, so your outfits can have the feel too. My first big recommendation is NO SHOES. If we have some worries about not cute feet, socks without any logos on them are great. Kids can go shirtless, mom can wear a dress or pants, dad in shorts, whatever goes. I offer outfit help to all my clients, so there isn’t any need to stress.

Absolutely! Not just toddlers are hard to wrangle when out in public. Teens can bee too. Plus, teens don’t get enough recognition in front of the camera. Photographing them in their rooms, playing video games, making cookies, or whatever else your teen is into is worth documenting to have and hold onto after they move away. Okay, I’m not going to tear up. Deep breaths.
You Need someone who
truly sees you.
A photographer who feels that family is the most important group to belong to in life. Family is the beginning of who we are, shapes us into what we become, and are the people who mean the most. No family is perfect, and we can all agree that it is hard to keep together sometime, but it is also full of chaos that is beautiful, long ago stories to retell, and times together to be had. I feel so drawn to show the importance that family is in an artistic and moving way. Some specifics of how I do this is;
Get to know you and your family way before your session through a detailed (but not long) questionaire, a one on one phone call, plus emails and text.
Have you make a pinterest board of your vision for the shoot, including activities you and your family like to do together.
Be your photo session support system. Answering questions, helping out with worries, giving tips for how to prep your family, even wardrobe help. You’re not planning this alone. I’m here for ya, my friend.

You are art
Family may not seem like the perfect subject for an art piece, but I promise you it is. The messy middle of motherhood begs to be seen.
Film
You caught me. I’m a photo purist. Film swirls light and color together in a breathtaking way that digital photos can’t match..
