Need a quick video to display on social media or announce a milestone? Knowing your goal is paramount to planning your portrait session and won’t leave anything to chance.

When you step in front of my camera, I want you to feel completely at ease. Your only job is to be authentically you. Whether the kids are feeling playful, shy, or energetic, I’m prepared to capture their true essence. Those unscripted moments are often the most magical!

Embracing the unexpected. Life is wonderfully unpredictable, and so are portrait sessions. A stray wind, a popped button, a sudden burst of giggles – these aren’t disruptions, they’re opportunities. My expertise means I can seamlessly transform what might seem like a “problem” into a stunning, memorable image.

My promise to you:

• I’ll handle the technical details
• I’ll create a comfortable, safe environment
• I’ll guide you gently and professionally
• I’ll capture the real, beautiful story of your family.

About a week after our session, we’ll meet in-person (your place or mine) to look at all the amazing images for you to choose from. Each will be professionally retouched. We will explore printing options, using software that combines photos of your space with perfectly scaled pieces of wall art – taking away the guess work. At this time you will place your print order or simple select the image files for your own download (printable to 8x10) with a full print release. After this meeting, your selected images will be available in a downloadable online gallery.

This session isn’t just about perfect poses – it’s about capturing your spirit, your connections, and the unique energy that makes your family extraordinary. Let’s create something remarkable together!
