ABOUT FAMILY SESSIONS

I’m all about photographing you and your loved ones without the stress and fuss. With over 15 years of experience, I’ve learned how to handle even the unruliest of toddlers and how to get your gloomiest family member to crack a smile.

Dressed up or hanging out in your pajamas, I’ll work with you to catch the moments that make your family yours, and keep the whole thing fun.

A family session is about an hour outdoors, priced by group size from $495, with the full gallery and 5 retouched images included. Everything you need to know is below.

GET ON MY CALENDAR

Not quite ready to book? No problem. Let’s start with a quick call to make sure we’re a great fit and talk through your ideas, needs, and what works best for your family.

Once we’ve chatted and you’re ready to move forward, I’ll send you a booking link, or you can go ahead and book directly below if you're ready.

FORMS SHMORMS

They annoy me too. I’m a real person with a phone, and texting is the fastest way to reach me.
