About an hour outdoors with the whole family. Dress up or dress down, just show up and let’s have fun!

About an hour outdoors, with outfit changes welcome. Celebrate your hard-workers.

They certainly earned it.

I absolutely love photographing families as they grow and change! Whether you’re welcoming a new little one, reuniting with loved ones, or celebrating a big milestone, I promise your session will be less stressful than you imagine. I keep things relaxed so everyone can just be themselves, and I’ll catch the moments you’ll want to keep.

I’ve been photographing families since 2010, here in Chapel Hill since 2014, and kids who hate being photographed are my specialty. Moody teenager, wild toddler, reluctant spouse? I’ve got this. Many families come back to me year after year, some since 2015. I’ve watched little ones grow into teenagers, then graduates, and I’ve loved being there for every chapter.

FAMILY SESSION PRICES

Family sessions are $495 for up to 5 people, $550 for 6 to 10, and $650 for 11 to 15. Larger groups are quoted before booking. Every session includes planning and location help, about an hour of shooting, and the full gallery with 5 fully retouched images.

No travel fee in Chapel Hill, Carrboro, Durham, Fearrington Village or Briar Chapel. Elsewhere in the Triangle, including Raleigh, it’s a flat $70.

NOT READY TO BOOK? LET’S TALK.

Not sure about timing, locations, how it all works, or how to get everyone to cooperate? Text or call me at 917-940-9326.

 

Sometimes it’s just easier to talk things through, and it gives us a chance to get to know each other before the session. I’m happy to answer all of your questions. If I miss your call, I’ll get back to you within 24 hours. Or just get on my calendar and I’ll call you!
