Here’s the simple version:
If your kids need time to warm up, or your family is happiest at home, the Family Lifestyle Session gives you up to an hour with no rushing.

If you’re marking one moment, like a birthday or Grandma’s visit, or your little one is done after about twenty minutes, the Celebrate the Moments Session is a better fit.

If you just want a quick, current photo with almost nothing to plan, a Seasonal Mini Session is the easiest yes.

Still not sure? Reach out and tell me about your people, and we’ll figure it out together.

Which session is right for us?

Coordinate, don’t match. A little variety in color and texture makes a photo feel alive, and lighter colors tend to feel lighter in the images. And if one of the kids insists on the dinosaur shorts, let them. Ten years from now, that’s the detail you’ll love most. If picking outfits stresses you out, that’s exactly what your Experience Guide is for, plus a little personal help from me.

What should we wear?

For Family Lifestyle and Celebrate the Moments sessions, yes. Your backyard, or a place that means something to your family. Some locations may have an added fee, so just tell me where you’re thinking.

Mini sessions happen at a seasonal spot I choose and set up.

Can we choose where we take photos?

Sooner is better, especially if there’s a season or milestone you don’t want to miss. Most of my families book 1 to 3 months ahead.

If a date is already on your mind, that’s usually a sign not to wait.

How far in advance should I book?

frequently asked questions

Weather happens. I keep an eye on the forecast in the days leading up to your session, and if it looks rough, we’ll pick a backup day together.

One less thing for you to worry about.

What if the weather is bad on the day of our session?

Furry family members are welcome wherever the location allows. Just tell me who’s coming when you book, and I’ll let you know if there’s anything to plan around. At most locations where pets are allowed, pets must stay on a leash and be cleaned up after.

Can we bring our dog?

Honestly? Most kids don’t show up smiling on command, and that’s completely normal.
I start slow, follow your child’s lead, and build in time to pause or reset when we need it. Wiggles, meltdowns, and a sudden love of the dirt are all welcome.
We’re not after a perfect smile. We’re after your real connection.

What if my child doesn’t cooperate?
