It’s 6 p.m. on a summer Friday, two hours before sunset. You’ve attempted dinner, but the kids are wild these days with no structure. Mr. Captain Underpants for example has just dashed from the table after one bite of a dino nuggie, cape flapping, ketchup dripping. He’s not dressed yet so crisis avoided, but the chaos remains.
You’re determined to make this family photo session count. Your hair still in heatless curls – determined to get the curls right this time, “easy” fake lashes proving not-so-easy, and Dad less than thrilled for the impending photoshoot, but looking great and of course, smells amazing. As you chase down the giggling toddler through the hallway, you glance at the wall of family photos from three years ago, remembering the frazzled session you swore you’d never repeat.
But this time, things are different.
You’ve found a photographer who values your time as much as you do. Someone who knows that capturing your family’s fleeting moments—the ringlets, the cautious smiles, the new independence—is priceless.
It will all be worth it.
I’ve been there. My boys are in their twenties now, but boy do I remember all the chaos of raising children while working full time alongside my husband. Surviving was more of the family theme than thriving. I wish it wasn’t that way, but that is the truth. We sacrificed things like yearly family photoshoots for a quick snap on a self-timer for the annual holiday card. Another thing I wished I had prioritized for us. The kicker is that I always felt like there was not enough time. Time. Our most precious commodity. Looking back, we did have the time. But we didn’t have a photographer I trusted that took the reins so I didn’t have to.
Now that I’m a full-time photographer, I’m looking at my own rear-view mirror and seeing that I can provide the directions for my families so they don’t have to. No stress. Just present.
📸 Here’s what I promise as your photographer
• Efficiency: Every moment is thoughtfully curated and ready to go when you arrive, including moments to pause. No fuss, no stuffy posing (okay, maybe one classic “everyone look at me” shot). You don’t have to think of anything except being present.
• Heartfelt Details: I’ll capture it all—tiny fingers, big adventures, cautious smiles, and carefree laughter. Listen, time is a thief. Capturing these moments during your photo session will forever cement it in your heart and your scrapbook. From that season in life when Sally always had that one finger pointing no matter what she was doing, to Captain Underpants with the pillows cape.
• Timeless Memories: In just 30-45 minutes, you’ll have images that celebrate your family exactly as they are, in this season of life. By sunset, we’re done. Dad’s carrying the bags and blankets, I’m racing the kids back to the car, and you’re glowing—not just from the curls and lashes, but from contentment. Turns out, family photos can be stress-free, efficient, and deeply meaningful. That’s the magic I create, and it’s why my clients keep coming back.
Let’s capture your family’s story—quickly, beautifully, and with all the heart.
