LIFESTYLE
It is with the experience of having documented kids and families for 18 years and the heart of a mama who fought long and hard to bring her children into the world that I approach documenting your family.
I know how precious every single moment is and I also know that those goofy things your kids do - those silly faces they make, their refusal to put that matchbox car down, their insistence on toting their lovey EVERYWHERE, or their obsession with wearing that one particular shirt - are exactly the things you'll want to remember a few years down the road when they've already grown and changed.

LIFESTYLE PHOTOGRAPHY FOR THE NOSTALGIC
Our Mission
Is to capture you and your family exactly as you are. To document parenthood and family life in all its messy, comical, real, raw beauty.
My goal is always to capture your family in a beautifully natural and real way. I want you to feel something when you look back on these images years down the road... to remember the sound of their little laugh, the feel of their sloppy kisses on your mouth... their tiny chubby hands wrapped in your hair.

FEELING NERVOUS?
I know it can be nerve-wracking booking a family session because you never know how your kids are going to act, right?! Trust me, as a mama to 3 little ones of my own (2 of them being twin boys!!) - I GET IT. Thankfully, I got your back.
Over the 18 years I've spent photographing families and the last 9 years a mom to my own kids, I have a few tricks up my sleeve.
The fact of the matter is - kids just want to have fun, they want to have some agency, and they want to feel seen. As long as you trust me to do my thing, and promise me you'll just LET GO and HAVE FUN with your kids during our time together...
I can assure you it is going to be AMAZING.
Now, let's make some magic, shall we?!
I’m so amazed at your talent. We so rarely are all in the frame and having this sliver of our life captured, beautifully at that, means the world to me. It’s a gift I know I’ll treasure forever & so will my boys. I hope they look back at these and see, as is evident to me, just how loved they have always been.
