We all grow up gaining a different perspective on ourselves, the world and everything in between. Those things you dreamed about (or maybe you didn't) -- some have come to fruition and others have not.

It's okay to feel the tension between what we expect life to look like and what it actually is. The same with your family...no family is perfect and while you may think that a family photo session needs to look and feel calm, that's rarely the case.

You would never guess what some of our sessions feel like and the images that come from them.

Around here, I capture authenticity, not perfection.



Family sessions are a great opportunity to spend time together laughing, enjoying the simple pleasures of being together and spending time making memories that last.

I capture a mix of posed and lifestyle meaning we get that shot to send to grandma. Then we get the images that adorn your walls, your phones and last for generations that tell the story of this season of your unique life.
  .
As your photographer, I want to capture the smallest giggles and the tiniest embraces. You don't need every hair in it's place and certainly don't need perfectly behaved children...their personalities are what make life fun and unique! Your family is photographed just as you are: wonderful, creative and unique!
