If the idea of family photos feels overwhelming…


Coordinating outfits, worrying about the weather, hoping your kids cooperate long enough to get through it—


you’re not alone.


Most of the families I photograph feel the exact same way.

That’s why my studio sessions are designed to feel simple, calm, and easy from start to finish.


No chasing kids across a field

No rescheduling because of weather

No pressure for everything to be perfect


Just a relaxed space where your family can show up as you are—and that’s more than enough.

A little more time and flexibility for families who want a bit more variety while still keeping things simple and relaxed.  This session is ideal for larger families with many family groupings or cake smashes where we need more time for portraits and mess.

need an idea?


Studio sessions can simply be photos of your family or we can make something fun to keep the kids entertained while getting some memorable photos!


  • Generations - bring the grandparents and get some classic portraits of yourself and your kids with their older relatives.  These are ideally on a white backdrop very personality portrait style.
  • Dance Party - give me a playlist, I will have it going when you get to the studio and you guys simply have fun and dance the time away.  
  • Confetti Canons - wear something loud and fun for some incredible personality portraits and then we will pop confetti canons.
  • Drawing Party - typically kids only but basically 2-3 kids having fun drawing on a white backdrop.
  • Simple White or Black Backdrop - keep the outfits super simple and we setup on a solid backdrop.  These are classic and easy portraits of your kids and family.
  • Favorite things - Does your kid have a favorite toy or plush that they bring everywhere with them? No matter what session you choose, bring the toy.  I love to get a portrait of kids with their current "favorite thing".
  • Have your own idea? I am 100% game.  Kids always do best if there is something to do more than sit and smile.  If you can dream something fun up, don't hesitate to reach out to me and we can make it happen!

FAQ

What if my kids don’t cooperate?

That’s completely normal—and honestly expected. Kids don’t need to sit still or behave perfectly for photos. Some of the best moments come from movement, personality, and a little bit of chaos. I’ll guide things gently and keep it relaxed so we can capture your family as they really are.




 

What should we wear?

 

Keep it simple. Soft, neutral tones (creams, whites, muted colors) always photograph best and keep the focus on your family. Try to avoid large logos or busy patterns, and choose something you feel comfortable in. If you’re unsure, I’m always happy to help with outfit ideas.

 

What if I feel awkward in photos?

 

You’re not alone—most people feel this way. My sessions are very relaxed and lightly guided, so you’re not expected to “pose” or perform. I’ll help you feel comfortable, and we’ll focus more on connection than perfection.

 

How many images will we receive?

 

Each session includes a curated set of fully edited images. The Easy Session includes 15 images, and the Keepsake Session includes 30. This keeps things simple and ensures you receive the best moments without feeling overwhelmed by too many choices.
