Family Portrait Session
Family sessions are a combination of casual lifestyle photography with lightly directed portraits. I like to photograph you acting naturally and having fun in a comfortable environment, but I will also give subtle suggestions and guide you into positions that make for great portraits.
I’d love to get to know you and your family because I want you to love your photos! We will discuss the location, your family’s clothing selections, prop options and your vision.
During our session, children are encouraged to run around, play and be silly.
Family sessions start at $500.
For large families, please inquiry.
$200 non-refundable retainer fee is required to secure a date.
The rest of the fee is due on session day.
Print ordering is optional and prints start at $50.

What’s the best part about having kids? …
Watching them grow up. 🥹
But for now, I’m soaking up every little giggle, every messy pancake, every cuddle.
These are the days I’ll want back. 💛

Being a baby photographer means doing whatever it takes to get those giggles – silly songs, animal sounds, peekaboo… you name it! 😛
And honestly?
I wouldn’t have it any other way 🙌🏼
Because those real, joyful smiles are worth every goofy moment. 💫🙏🏻♥️
Seriously doesn’t your little one LOVE the baby shark song? 😄

Being family means being home to each other—through every season, every change, every challenge. These are the moments that deserve to be remembered, because one day they’ll be the stories you tell. ♥️🙏🏻

At my studio, first birthday sessions are relaxed, playful, and filled with love. 🥰
Whether you want a classic portrait, a cute cake smash, or a little bit of both, we’ll make sure your baby’s big personality shines. 😎
I’ve even had the joy of photographing these siblings a few years apart — it’s so heartwarming to see families come back to mark these milestones. 🙏🏻💫
