When it comes to family sessions, my approach is rooted in connection, playfulness, and a deep appreciation for capturing the essence of your family—just as you are. Every session is a unique experience, shaped by the personalities of your loved ones and the moments that unfold naturally.
Starting with the Little Ones
I always begin my sessions with individual portraits of the kids. However, I’ve learned to adapt to their needs. For smaller ones who might feel a bit of "stranger danger," I take a step back. Instead of diving in with my camera, I take the time to get to know them first. I’ll kneel down to their level, maybe join them in a game or simply chat. Building trust is essential, and it’s amazing how quickly a little play can transform hesitation into genuine smiles.
The Perfect Setting
All my family sessions take place in an open field that I’ve carefully chosen for its beautiful, soft light. The location itself becomes part of the story, with its wide-open spaces providing the perfect backdrop for families to relax and be themselves. The golden light of evening often adds a magical touch, highlighting the joy and connection in every frame.
Balancing Play and Poses
Sessions with me are full of laughter and movement. I encourage natural interactions and let kids take the lead whenever possible. If they want to pick flowers, twirl in the sunlight, or show me their favorite game, I’m all in. These moments of freedom create some of the most genuine and heartfelt images.
For my families who love tradition, I make sure to include more posed shots as well. These give a sense of structure and balance to your gallery, ensuring everyone—from playful kiddos to grandparents—has a photo they’ll treasure.
Getting Parents Involved
For the little ones, I often bring parents into the play. There’s nothing quite like the joy of a child being swung by their mom and dad, or the look of love and laughter exchanged during a game of chase. These moments capture the bond you share in a way that’s raw and real.
Giving You More
I have a tendency to overshoot during sessions—and I wouldn’t have it any other way. Your memories are uniquely yours, and I believe you deserve to have them all. Each laugh, each hug, and each tender glance tells a part of your story, and I want you to be able to relive it fully.
Why Family Sessions Are My Favorite
Family sessions hold a special place in my heart. But, if you catch me during a newborn session, I’ll probably tell you that’s my favorite too. Honestly, my kids will tell you I have a habit of calling just about everything my favorite—and they’re right. Whatever I’m doing in the moment becomes my favorite, because I’m fully immersed in it. Whether it’s photography, spending time with my family, savoring a delicious meal, or enjoying a good cup of spiced chai or coffee with homemade marshmallows, I pour my heart into it all.
Life itself is my favorite, and I’m grateful every day that I get to share that love through my work. I can’t wait to create something beautiful with your family—something that makes you feel deeply every time you see it.
