"Blink and you’ll miss it"

As parents, we hear this phrase all too often - but it couldn’t be more true!

Since becoming a mother almost three years ago, I often find myself marveling at how much my son has changed. The delicate features of his newborn face have transformed, and his once-tiny body is now bursting with personality.

Every stage of family life is filled with moments we wish we could freeze - whether it’s the sleepy cuddles with your newborn, the infectious laughter shared with your toddler, or the quiet, knowing love between generations. From first steps to family reunions, from childhood cuddles to grown-up embraces, these are the moments that define us.

That’s why I believe there’s no greater gift I can give to families than helping to preserve these memories - by capturing the love, the laughter, and the connections that make each season of life so special.

Some common FAQs

Life moves fast, and before you know it, the little hands you hold will be reaching for independence. Investing in a professional photographer is about preserving these little moments that matter most.
Photos aren’t just for today; they become part of your family’s legacy. They’ll live on as prints on your walls, in albums that get passed down, and as treasured memories that bring you back to the feelings of that time.
The more time we have together, the more relaxed and natural the experience becomes. I love getting to know your tribe and creating a comfortable space where everyone feels at ease - because that’s often when the best, most authentic moments happen.
I hear this one a lot! And I totally get it - being in front of a camera can totally feel awkward at times. But this is where my experience comes in! I make it my own mission with every single session for my clients to feel completely relaxed and natural, so you won’t feel like you’re ever “posing" for photos. In fact, you might even forget I’m there!
I will make it my own little mission to assure as many smiles as possible by the end of our session! I always aim to create a fun, relaxed environment where your kids can just be themselves, and I have a few tricks up my sleeve to make this happen. Whether it’s giggles, quiet cuddles, or playful moments, I love capturing each child’s unique personalities.
Not at all! My session fee stays the same no matter how big or small your family is. Whether it's an intimate engagement shoot or a full family reunion with 30+ people, no group is too big or too small!
Neutral tones tend to be a good option, and always look great in the photos. But - most importantly - I will encourage my clients to always just wear whatever they feel most comfortable in.
Life happens, and I’m always happy to be flexible! If you need to reschedule or cancel, just let me know as soon as possible, and we’ll find a new date that works for you.
