What’s it really like to work with me?
When people think about booking a family photo session, there’s often a mix of excitement and stress—Will the kids behave? Will we get even one good photo? Will it be awkward?! I totally get it. And that’s exactly why I focus on making your session feel less like a formal event and more like a laid-back afternoon with your favorite people.
Let me show you what I mean…
1. Your kids aren’t just included—they’re involved.
I love letting kids be part of the process. Giving them a “job” (like helping press the shutter or peek through the lens) makes them feel important—and it sets the tone for a fun, relaxed session. Plus, it always brings out the biggest smiles!
2. There’s plenty of play.
You don’t have to worry about keeping everyone perfectly posed. I welcome movement, play, and real-life moments. While I’m capturing sweet portraits of mom and dad, the kids are usually just a few feet away being themselves—and often, those candid shots become client favorites.
3. We laugh—a lot
The best family photos come from real connection, not rigid posing. I’ll give gentle direction to guide you, but I’ll also ask silly questions, play games, and create little moments that spark genuine emotion. The result? Photos that look and feel like you.
4. We celebrate the little wins.
Whether it’s getting through the first 10 minutes without a meltdown or capturing the perfect sibling shot—we celebrate it! I’m cheering your family on from start to finish, and I want your kids to walk away feeling like they just had the best time (because they did!).
5. And the final gallery? It’s full of joy.
After your session, I go through all the magic we captured and carefully select the best moments—ones that show love, connection, and those little in-between looks you never want to forget. I edit each image with my signature warm and natural style, and you’ll receive a beautifully curated gallery that tells the full story of your family in this season of life.
These are the kinds of photos that get printed, framed, and cherished for years. Not just because they’re pretty (though they are!), but because they feel like home.
So what’s it really like to have a session with me?
It’s fun, it’s relaxed, and it’s full of connection. My goal is to capture your family just as you are—because those are the moments you’ll treasure for years to come.
