An Artistic Photography Experience
That Embraces the Tenderness of Motherhood
Family Photography
I Document While
You Play.
- You barely have time to shower, let alone coordinate outfits for five humans who are definitely going to complain about their shirt.
- Every day already feels like a high-stakes negotiation. Adding a camera to the mix? Feels like tempting fate.
- And let’s be honest—the minute you really need everyone to smile and behave? That’s when your toddler’s suddenly feral, your husband forgets how to smile like a human, and someone’s crying because the tag in their shirt “feels weird.”
What if, instead of forcing perfection, you could lean into your family’s real, beautiful chaos—and just bring a photographer along to capture the love, laughter, and connection as it naturally unfolds?
As a full-service photographer, I take care of everything. From providing wardrobe ideas to helping you coordinate outfits for the rest of the family, let me deliver an effortless family photography experience.
You deserve family photos that go beyond stiff poses and truly embrace who you are as a family in whatever season of life you are in.
MY PROCESS
I
After your session is booked, I will give you a link to a styling database to help style your family. Easy to use and shop without leaving the comfort of your home. If styling isn’t your thing, I am more than happy to send you an inspiration board.
II
On session day, we will have fun! Your session will take place on one of our beautiful local beaches. It will be laid back and focus on all the family snuggles, authentic connections, and tender moments.
III
Within 2-3 weeks, you’ll receive a slideshow of your beautifully edited images. Choose the images you want to download or upgrade to a bigger collection that fits your family. Each collection includes high-resolution digital files and a print credit to use toward your favorite artwork. Click here to see how you can use your print credit.
Preserve Your Photos
Heirloom-Quality
Products & Prints
I firmly believe in the significance of printing what you want to preserve because the people you hold closest to your heart deserve to revel in those memories everyday.
There is a unique joy in flipping through a box of loose prints, or thumbing through a heirloom album, or walking into a room and seeing an image of your favorite people beautifully hung on the wall. Each photograph telling a story of love, laughter, and shared moments.
Printing is not merely about preserving images; it’s about making those moments a tangible part of your daily life. Whether neatly organized in a box, elegantly displayed in an album, or proudly hanging on your wall, the act of printing preserves the emotions, connections, and love woven into each photograph.
We all have the best intentions of doing something with our images after the session is over, but life can get hectic and it is easy to push off and forget. Part of my service is going beyond the session and helping you take that next step. Everything is custom designed and ordered by me and shipped directly to you.
Each piece I offer is carefully curated just for you, handcrafted and of the highest quality. You will love knowing these images will be cherished for generations to come.

I specialize in beach sessions and am known for capturing the magic of our beautiful coastal scenery. I stick to a handful of favorite beach spots that I know will photograph beautifully every time—giving you the best light, backdrops, and overall experience.
Living in a beach town is such a gift, and I truly believe we should embrace it! That said, if you’re curious about alternative locations, feel free to reach out. I’m always happy to chat about what’s possible.
You’ll definitely get one or two classic “everyone smiling at the camera” shots, but the heart of your gallery will be something much deeper. My sessions are designed to capture real, engaging, joy-filled moments: laughter, snuggles, and the kind of connection you can feel just by looking at the image.
Especially for family sessions, my focus is on creating powerful, emotional images that celebrate the connection you share. We’ll capture the adventure of your family just being yourselves—laughing, exploring, letting the kids be kids on the beach—while you stay fully present to soak it all in. There may be a few sweet shots with everyone smiling at the camera, but the ones that will move you the most? They’re the ones where you’re lost in the moment, holding your babies close, and truly experiencing the joy of your family as it is right now.
I want you images to be as beautiful as possible. I will reach out the day of your session with any weather related concerns. If it is rainy, dreary, or excessively windy, then I will make the call to reschedule.
So many of the moms I work with feel unsure about being in front of the camera—especially when wrangling little ones and trying to make everything “perfect.” But here’s the thing: perfection isn’t the goal—connection is. And the best photos happen when you let go and just be with your people.
I don’t pose you—I prompt you. Don’t worry if you get stuck or aren’t sure what to do. I’ll guide you with simple ideas and let you know exactly what’s working. The best thing you can do? Embrace the power of play, lean into the fun, and let your love for your family shine through. When you do that, the magic unfolds all on its own.
First—take a deep breath. This is so normal, and honestly? I expect it! Kids are curious, energetic, and unpredictable—and that’s exactly what I love about photographing families. My sessions are designed with movement, play, and flexibility in mind, so there’s no pressure for your little ones to “perform.”
Instead of forcing stiff poses, I’ll gently guide you all with prompts and activities that feel fun and natural. Some of the most meaningful, joy-filled images come from the in-between moments—snuggles, giggles, sandy toes, and even meltdowns. Just show up as you are, trust the process, and I promise we’ll create something beautiful together.
