Carve out the time, set your fears aside & let me take the photo

You'll be so glad you did!

Stop waiting for the perfect stage of life, because such a thing doesn't exist. Certainly don't wait for a time when kids sit still, you lose baby weight or your oldest is almost gone to college. Instead, let your hair down and free yourself from the pressure of making a "perfect" family portrait. Be perfectly you- no matter what that entails. Let me tell your family's authentic story no matter how wild the process might be. After all, what might feel like chaos to you is beauty to me- I'll show you!

FAQ

Where do You go from here?

It's easy! Follow these steps.

Pick a date

I love to shoot golden hour but I'll make just about any type of light work, so don't stress on a time. Don't have weekends, let's plan a weeknight. I can be flexible, but we have to start somewhere.

consider what you'll wear

This is where most moms freeze like a deer in headlights! Don't overthink it, just know that some shopping will need to be done. I can advise on colors, patterns and am always here as a sounding board along the way. Just know that what you wear is important and it will take some time to pull it together, but it can be done!

Let's pick a location

Once we've settled on a date and you've started brainstorming clothes, I will guide you in location choice. Of course clothing choices drive a location choice, so we'll make sure we land on a happy marriage between the two.
