What to Expect during our session


Each photo session is customized for my client.

The highest priorities I hold with each shoot is that you have fun, are free to be yourself, and most of all, that you feel seen and loved.


As a mom of 3 kids, I fully empathize with you on what it is like to not only get your family "camera ready" for our photo session,

but I can also relate to how little ones can change emotions in a split second. That is why I will never rush you.

I will take my time to make sure your interactions are authentic, and I will shoot a mixture of posed and candid images.

It is those sweet giggles and tender moments that mean everything!


Since my kids are now teens and adults, I also fully get how self conscious students can be in front of the camera.

So, one thing I always keep in mind for my senior sessions is that I get to know my client as we talk while we walk & I am always their biggest cheerleader.

Nothing warms my heart more than a mom telling me at the end of a session how I made their teen feel like a rock star.


For either type of session, we will be outdoors, interacting with the environment around you.

This helps you feel relaxed, engaged and more natural.
