Because your family is beautiful.

The beautiful, unpredictable, hysterical world of being a kid and raising kids. My photography sessions with families are all about capturing big hugs, endless energy, love, and the unique personality of your growing family.


Sessions take place at your home or on-location at a park, beach, or other spot meaningful to your family. Think about your favorite things to do with your children - if it's swinging on a swing at the local park, or baking cookies, or reading books, or going for a hike -- let's do it! There is so much meaning in the places we choose to spend time in, and because of that they offer so many opportunities for authentic expressions and spontaneous moments. It's within these moments that the best images are created.


Worried your toddler or teen isn't into photos? That's OK - I've got you! The toddler crowd loves my silly games and prompts to bring out their growing personalities. I'll make sure whatever stage they are at is captured because each one is so unique. Teens are typically more subdued and just want to look great, so I take the time to show them back of the camera images and make sure they are comfortable and happy. No matter what the kids ages, parents and caregivers should be in the session, too! You are the kids rock, and they love you just as you are. I promise, you'll treasure the family photographs we create together more and more as time goes by.


The gallery above has been created over years, and because families come back again and again you'll see some of the same faces at different ages. A few of the little ones you see are in high school now! I keep them in my portfolio to show photographing and editing consistency. I edit my images in a traditional style because I want your collection of images to showcase your kids, not an editing trend. So if your family is growing and i see you every year, or they are bigger and you get photographs done every couple of years, your collection will be crisp and consistent to display and enjoy.


Parenthood is am amazing ride. Get pictures!
