Family Sessions

Someday, you’ll miss these little years. Let’s remember them exactly as they are..

a little note...

about FAMILY sessions

 

My hope is to make your family session as stress free as possible.  


I love planning your session with you! I encourage you to reach out and ask any questions you have about outfits.


I have a collection of stunning locations that I love to photograph at for you to choose from whether its a gorgeous field at sunset, a creek with the sun softly peeking through the trees, or a charming little urban town that showcases a variety of different spots.



I want to capture your littles little personality...those snuggles, those silly faces, those expressions that you don't want to forget.


I embrace the chaos and encourage the littles  to play and be their little selves.


So many times those candid photos are your favorite ones!

 

The family gallery

a little inspiration for your family session

 

The giggles, the cuddles, the little personalities, and all the love in between —

these are the moments I love capturing most.


Take a look through my family gallery for a little glimpse into the way I photograph families. I love keeping things natural and relaxed while still creating those beautiful, timeless portraits you’ll want hanging in your home.


Your kids don’t have to sit perfectly still or smile at the camera the whole time. Come as you are, love on your people, and let’s capture this season of your family exactly as it is.

Because one day, you’ll look back and realize these were the days you never wanted to forget.

All the little details

 

reserving your session

 

What if we’ve never had professional photos done before?



That’s perfectly okay—most of my clients haven’t!

I’ll guide you through everything so it feels easy and natural from start to finish.

What if I don’t know what kind of session I want?


That’s totally okay! Tell me a little about what you’re envisioning (or even just how you want your photos to feel), and I’ll help you figure out the rest.

What if we want more time than a standard session?


Just let me know! We can talk through options and make sure your session fits exactly what you need.

How far in advance should I reserve my session?


The sooner, the better—especially for seniors and fall sessions. Dates can be reserved out at minimum a few months in advance, so I always recommend reaching out early to get your ideal spot & preferred date and time.  


Sunset sessions are always the first to be reserved.

What if I don't know where I want to have my session at?



That’s completely okay! You don’t have to have it all figured out before booking your session. I have a collection of beautiful locations I love photographing at, and I’m always happy to help you find the perfect spot based on the look and feel you’re dreaming of.


How many people can be included in a session?


My sessions are designed for immediate families, however, if you’re thinking about something larger, just reach out and we’ll chat about an extended family session.

Do you offer payment plans?


Absolutely! If you need flexibility, just reach out and we can talk through options.


I want this to feel doable for you.  


You can also use Afterpay to pay for your session as well.  

How do I reserve a session?


It’s super simple! Just fill out my contact form and I’ll be in touch to chat through all the details, answer your questions, and get your date reserved. From there, I guide you through everything so you never feel lost or overwhelmed.

Do you travel?


Yes! If you have a location in mind, let’s chat about it. I’m always up for creating something special in a place that means something to you.  Travel fees do apply.

 

Preparing for your session

 

How do I prepare for my session?



You don’t have to overthink it—I’ll guide you through everything ahead of time. From outfits to timing,


I make sure you feel completely prepared and confident.

What should we wear?




Don’t stress—I help with that! You’ll get styling guidance from me so your outfits feel like you but photograph beautifully. Think coordinated (not matchy), comfortable, and something that makes you feel confident.

Do you help with choosing outfits for the whole family?


Yes! Coordinating outfits can feel overwhelming, but I’ll help you pull everything together so it looks cohesive without feeling too “matchy.”

What should we avoid wearing?


I recommend avoiding bright colors, large logos, busy patterns, and anything that distracts from your connection. Soft, neutral tones tend to photograph beautifully and keep the focus where it belongs—on you.



How do we prepare kids ahead of time?


Keep it light and exciting—no pressure! Let them know it’ll be fun, maybe even a little adventure. A well-rested, well-fed little one  is always a win, too.

When should we arrive?


Plan to arrive a few minutes early so everyone can settle in. We’ll start right on time to make the most of our time together.

 

your session

 

What if we feel awkward in front of the camera?


I promise—you don’t have to know what you’re doing. That’s my job.


I’ll guide you the entire time with natural prompts so nothing feels stiff or forced.


Most of my clients say this at the start… and then end up having so much fun.



What if I'm nervous about how I look?



I hear this all the time—and I promise.  I’ll guide you in the most flattering ways and focus on real moments so you feel comfortable and confident.

What if my kids don’t cooperate?



Totally normal—and honestly expected.


I don’t need perfect behavior, I just need your littles as they are. I keep things relaxed and playful, and some of the sweetest moments come from the in-between chaos.




Can we request specific shots?


If there’s something meaningful you have in mind, I’d love to hear it! I always do my best to incorporate those moments while still keeping everything natural.



Can we bring props?


Simple, meaningful props are always welcome—think blankets, hats, sports gear, or something personal to you. I’ll help make sure it doesn’t feel overdone.

What if we’re running late?


I totally understand that life happens—just send me a text! We’ll make the most of our time together no matter what. Since I do reserve outdoor sessions back-to-back the time left in our session upon your arrival will be the time we will have together.

 

after your session

 

When will we receive our photos?



You can expect your proofing gallery within 1 week after your session (unless you have purchased expedited editing).


I know how excited you’ll be to see them, so I always work to get them back to you as quickly as possible without sacrificing quality.  Proofing galleries are delivered in the order sessions are photographed.


Sessions are edited in the order editing requests are received.  Final galleries are delivered within 3-4 weeks after you have let me know you've chosen your favorite photos for editing.  




A limited number of expedited editing placements are available for an additional fee.


When selected, expedited editing prioritizes your gallery in the editing queue and allows for earlier delivery based on current availability.



How many images will we receive?



Every session is a little different, but you’ll receive a thoughtfully soft-edited proofing gallery filled with the best moments from our time together—no duplicates, no overwhelm, just the good stuff. From there you will pick your favorites for me to custom edit and add to your final gallery to download.

What if I want more images than what is included with my session?


While each session includes a set number of custom edited, digital, high resolution photos, you can absolutely choose more for me to edit & add to your final gallery.  


Additional hand-edited images are available for purchase, allowing you to expand your final gallery with the moments you love most.

Will you help us choose our final images?



Of course. I’m always happy to guide you through your gallery so you feel confident choosing your favorites.  If you would prefer for me to chose your photos to edit for your final gallery, there is a small charge for the service.



Will my images be edited?



Yes—every image in your final gallery is custom edited to match my style.


I focus on natural, timeless edits that you’ll love for years to come.

What happens after I receive my final gallery?


You’ll be able to download your images and order prints or products if you’d like. From there, you get to enjoy them—hang them up, share them, and relive those moments over and over 💛

Do you offer digital images?


Yes! Your gallery will include digital images, and you’ll also have the option to order prints and products if you’d like.



Do you offer prints?


Yes! Your photos deserve more than just living on your phone. I offer high-quality prints and products so you can actually hold onto these moments for years to come.

Can I print my photos?


Yes! You’ll have access to high-quality print options (and print lab recommendations) so your images don’t just live on a screen—they become part of your home.

Still have questions? I’m just a message away 💛




I can’t wait to hear what you’re dreaming up!
