SESSION INFORMATION
Which session is right for you?
I photograph the continuum of a family’s life, from birth, to tweens and teens,
to parenthood, and the latter years.
My wish is for every family to have honest, interactive photos of themselves
connecting with one other. I am especially passionate about getting caregivers
in the frame. So often, they are the ones taking the photos and may not be in
many of them, apart from a few selfies.
I am also keenly aware of how quickly time seems to pass. Photographs offer us a
portal back to a moment that only existed briefly. Sometimes memories fade,
but photos rarely do.
Families & Children
All family sessions are designed to be fun and relaxed and usually last about an hour and a half. I allow children and families to be themselves, explore and play. I strive to capture love and connection in all its forms. Whatever the occasion, I would be honored to create photographs for you and your family that will spark memories for years to come. Your home is the ideal location for these sessions because it's where your family is most comfortable, and even more than that, your home best reflects who you are as a family. It's the perfect storytelling backdrop. For much more information on what a storytelling session entails, click here.

Newborns at home
In-home newborn sessions are photographed in the comfort of your own home, with the intention of preserving the candid, beautiful moments as your family gets to know its newest member.
I photograph the rituals of these early days—feeding, changing, burping, soothing, cuddling, and everything in between—along with the small details you may not realize you’ll want to remember.
There is no expectation that your baby will sleep through the session or that your home will be perfectly put together. We follow your baby’s rhythm, making room for breaks, feedings, and whatever the day brings. Parents, siblings, grandparents, and pets can all be included. Your home and your life as they are right now are the story.
LENGTH Up to 1.5 hours

Hospital Newborn Sessions
I also offer hospital newborn sessions, photographed within the first day or two after your baby is born. These sessions preserve those precious early moments together—holding and kissing your baby, feeding or nursing, and introducing the baby to siblings and other loved ones for the first time.

Maternity
Pregnancy is part of a family’s story, too. My maternity sessions are not centered on traditional posing. They take place in your home and capture a small piece of your life as you wait for your baby to arrive. A session might center on the connection between parents-to-be, the everyday life of your growing family, or the children who will soon become big brothers or sisters.
We may make a few intentional portraits, but the heart of the session is the story of this brief season before your family dynamic changes.

BOOK During pregnancy
Generations Sessions
These in-home documentary sessions preserve time with the parents, grandparents, and older loved ones who have helped shape your family.
Rather than asking everyone to pose, I photograph you spending time together—cooking, gardening, looking through family photographs, sharing stories, laughing, or simply being together. A session can include several generations or center on one beloved family member. You do not need to wait for a milestone or special occasion.
My hope is to create a record not only of what your loved ones looked like, but of how it felt to be with them.
LENGTH Up to 2 hours
WHERE Whichever home the family gathers in
WHEN Anytime. No need to wait for a holiday or birthday. Time is of the essence.
BOOK A few weeks or months ahead
