Natural, Candid Family Photos That Feel Like You
Honest, Unscripted Family Storytelling
Family sessions with me are all about capturing your personalities in their most natural moments. I focus on the in-betweens. The snuggles, the giggles, the chaos, and the quiet – because that’s where your real story lives. Rather than relying on stiff poses, I gently guide when needed while giving your family the space to play, explore, and simply be yourselves. With years of experience photographing families, I create a calm, relaxed environment so you can enjoy your time together while I capture the moments you’ll treasure forever.
MY APPROACH
An Authentic, Documentary Approach to Family Life
My approach is rooted in documentary, candid photography - quietly observing and capturing the real moments that tell the true story of your day. I’m inspired to capture a real glimpse of your life – lived fully, not performed for the camera. I support you by guiding you only when the light is perfect or a small bit of direction helps you feel at ease. With over a decade of experience, I bring calm confidence, thoughtful support, and genuine care to every family I work with. My goal is simple: to help you stay present while I preserve the love, emotion, and little in-between moments that make your family session uniquely yours.

Whether you’re looking for a more structured approach or a playful, free-flowing session, we’ll stay in touch through email to ensure everyone feels prepared and ready to enjoy the experience.
Day Of
RELAXED, JOYFUL & NATURAL
On the day of your session, I’ll arrive ready to create a calm, enjoyable environment. I guide when needed but let your family explore, play, and be themselves capturing the laughter, snuggles, and quiet moments that tell your story. My goal is to document authentic connections so you can relive these memories for years to come.
It’s so much more than just photos.
