Life is messy and imperfect. I say, let’s embrace that.

Family photos don’t have to be posed to be beautiful.

Your session will be all about your everyday life. Whether I’m with you for 4 hours or 12, it will be a window into what a regular day looks like to your family.

I’ll have a few questions that will help guide us to find what an ideal session looks like for you, but mostly we will keep things loose and open to spontaneity.

Below are a few tidbits to keep in mind for your session.

My role is more involved than a shadow but less than a visiting relative. I’ll joke with you and listen to your little ones down on their level. I’ll also be a silent observer in the background at times when the moment is quieter.

Whether your home has lots of light or a few small windows, I will be able to create great photos that tell the story of you in your space.

At some point, your kids will cry, misbehave, be less than perfect. That’s OK. More than ok, that’s part of who they are right now. Working with me is a safe, no judgement zone. Parent how you need to parent but don’t worry that my camera is there.

There will be mess. Even if you clean before I come over (though please don’t feel like you have to). Kids can be like tornados, it adds to the adventure.
