Fun & Authentic Family Photo Sessions
Embrace the beauty within the chaos...
"Our family has worked with Mary Beth several times now and she’s the best! She’s professional yet so kind and takes such beautiful photos. Most importantly, she makes it fun for our two little ones! HIGHLY recommend." -E.H."working with her is easy, fun, and relaxed"
Stress-Free Photo Sessions...at Home...
Looking for family photos in a field at sunset?
Although dressing up in pretty outfits and smiling in a field during golden hour produces beautiful images…I want your photo session be more authentic to your unique family!
Let go of the idea of Pinterest-perfect photos and allow me photograph your imperfectly-real-selves in the comfort of your home!
“Choose the least important day in your life. It will be important enough.”
-Thornton Wilder
Imagine a photo session...
• without awkward posing, silly props or fake cheesy smiles
• doesn't require begging or bribing your family to cooperate
• doesn't include the stress that often comes along with most portrait sessions
• takes place in the comfort of your home where you get to relax and just be your imperfect and amazing selves
• captures the real-life chaos, love, and connection of your authentic family
If this sounds like the type of photo session that's perfect for your family, then I'm the perfect photographer for you!

WHAT TO EXPECT
What does an at-home family session look like?
It looks like your family being your wonderful and [extra]ordinary selves for 1-2 hours while having an old friend hang out with their camera!
I want you to do you!
What would you be doing if I were to peek in on your family on a Saturday afternoon while you're all home together?
Is it relaxing on the couch and sipping coffee while the kids run around the house?
Making pancakes with a baby on your hip?
Sitting on the porch or hanging out in the yard?
I want your family to do the things you normally do together! Let's keep it authentic!
But if you really feel like you're "boring" (I promise you're not), I'll share my list of activity ideas!
Let's plan a one-of-a-kind photo session for your family!
- Sessions take place at your home.
- We can do them inside, on the porch, and in the yard!
- Photos will include the whole family! Yes, even your doggo!

"But...what if...?"
Believe me, I've heard all of the objections to having photos taken in your home and I have a good comeback for each one.
After photographing families in their homes for 15 years, I've never been in a home that was "too small, dark or cluttered!" I promise that your home is the perfect location for your session!
But, I understand it's not always possible so I'll photograph your family at a location that's special to you like a local playground, town center, museum or cafe...just not in a field at sunset...
"I wish somebody would have told me, babe...Some day, these will be the good old days..."
I’m seeking families that…
• prefer real over perfect
• are willing to embrace the chaos and realness of their everyday
• feel like our everyday lives are worth remembering
• want connection over perfection
If you want to try something different and have your beautifully chaotic life documented then let's do this!
