Portrait Sessions

ARE LIKE A FIELD TRIP FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY

From the very first email, I place high importance on getting to know what makes your family special.

The way I approach your session, from the gear I use, and the shooting style to the curation of your gallery will be customized for your family so that you have the best possible experience. This is what makes what I do unique.

More than anything else, I never want you to feel like clients and at the same time, I never want to feel like just another photographer. You trust me, I’ll take great care of you, and together we will make memories worthy of photographing.

I believe it takes years of experience and a deep desire to know who someone is to create images that feel as beautiful as they look.

Especially working with kids with a lot of technical decisions that need to be made quickly. I've also experienced a lot of life which has taught me that when it’s all said and done, those imperfect moments are where we can feel the most seen and loved. I was a single mom at 17, married Eddie at 22, we have 3 boys and have experienced the greatest love and lowest lows as parents. I’ve also survived a stroke and ruptured brain aneurysm, navigated challenging family situations and still grieve the loss of loved ones. Your story may not look like mine but my journey is what drives my desire to create a living legacy for you and your family through photography.

The truth is, the beauty of your session lives deep into the core of who your family is on the inside more than the outside.

Over the past 12 years as a family photographer, I’ve learned that the very best family pictures extend far beyond all the perfect poses and dig deep into what you never want to forget about your children & what you hope they always remember about you.

A perfectly posed picture is pretty but it is candid, real-life moments, that will make you whisper, “that is us”. My job is to unveil what will mean most to you today, tomorrow, and 20 years from now. Then document it beautifully and authentically.
