From choosing the perfect location to figuring out what everyone should wear, I’m here to make the entire experience feel easy. I’ll guide you when you need it, allow your little ones to be themselves, and never expect anyone to stand still and smile. The goal is simple: beautiful photographs that feel real.
Your Session Is about More Than Just Showing Up And Taking Photos...
It all starts with a quick hello. Reach out through my contact form and tell me a little about your family and what you’re hoping to capture. We’ll choose the session that fits you best, find a date that works, and get everything officially on the calendar. Once your contract is signed and retainer is paid, you’re booked- I’ll take it from there.

Prep for Your Shoot
You don’t need to have everything figured out before you book. I’ll help you choose a location that fits your family, find the best time for beautiful light, and offer wardrobe guidance so everything photographs naturally together. We’ll also talk through anything important to you, so when session day arrives, all you have to worry about is showing up.
I'll send you "all-the-things" for your big day - location ideas, outfit inspo, you name it!
the Big Day
This is the part where you get to simply be with your people. I’ll give you plenty of direction so you never have to wonder what to do, but I’ll also leave room for the moments that happen on their own. Kids can play, babies can take breaks, and nobody needs to be perfectly behaved. My favorite photographs happen when we let go of the plan a little.
the day has arrived and it's time to get those amazing photos you've been dreaming of!
Gallery Delivery
After your session, I’ll carefully go through every image and hand-edit the very best moments into a gallery that tells your story. Your finished photographs will be delivered through a private online gallery where you can download, share, and print your favorites. Long after this season has changed, you’ll have something beautiful to bring you right back to it.
I know you are dying to see those photos and it'll be worth the wait!
Print Ordering
Your photos deserve to live somewhere beyond your camera roll. Once your gallery is delivered, you’ll have the option to order professional-quality prints, framed artwork, and albums. Everything is made through professional print labs chosen for beautiful color and lasting quality, making it easy to turn your favorite images into something you can hold.
Want to get your favorites printed to display in your home? I got you, mama!

Milestone Session
Your finished gallery will be delivered within 4–6 weeks of your session. Every image is individually selected and hand-edited with care, and you’ll receive an email as soon as your gallery is ready to view.
Life happens, especially with little ones! If someone is sick or the weather isn’t cooperating, we’ll find another date that works. I’ll keep an eye on the forecast and be in touch if I think we should reschedule.
I recommend reaching out 4–8 weeks in advance, especially for fall and weekend sessions, which tend to fill quickly. That said, last-minute openings do happen, so it’s always worth reaching out to see what I have available.
You don’t have to figure it out alone! I’m happy to help with wardrobe ideas and coordinate colors, textures, and pieces that photograph beautifully together while still feeling like you and your family.
Absolutely! Extended family sessions are available for grandparents, cousins, or multiple households who want to be photographed together. Pricing varies based on group size, so reach out and I’ll create the best option for your family.
Absolutely. Your gallery includes personal printing rights, so you’re welcome to print your images wherever you’d like. You’ll also have access to professional-quality prints and products directly through your online gallery.
