It's time to say goodbye to the stress of preparing for a typical photo session and time to say hello to a fun family photo session that will capture the real smiles and personalities of your children.

Let go of the idea of the “Pinterest perfect” portrait session.


It’s not about the location.

 

It’s not about the clothes.

 

I want you to be your imperfectly real selves!

 

 

I’m seeking families that…

 

…prefer real over perfect.

 

…believe in documenting the beauty found in real life.

 

…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, than I'm the perfect photographer for you!

 

I'd love for your photo session to take place at home. The location that holds an endless amount of memories!

5 Reasons to Book an In-Home Family Photo Session:



#1. Your Family, especially your children, will be most comfortable and relaxed at home! And it's more than ok to let your kids act like kids and be themselves!

Think of it as an afternoon just hanging out with your family and relaxing and a photographer just happens to be there taking pictures.


#2. No need to stress about the weather or scheduling a late session at sunset! We can schedule any time of day!


#3. No stressing out about finding the perfect coordinating outfits! Wear your casual and comfortable clothes and let your kids pick their own outfits!


#4. No worries about finding the perfect location. Your home is the perfect location with a unique "backdrop". Your home is part of YOUR story! And we can include your fur-kids! (doggies and kitties)


#5. Say no to "CHEESE!"
This session is not about the perfect portrait, this is about capturing your real and very awesome and unique family.

It's super important to me that you receive
an album from our session.
(I promise that you will thank me for that)

 

After talking to many of my past clients, I discovered that a majority of them were not doing much with their digital files.


Although I am happy to provide you with digital images, I want to create a photo album for your family that will last for future generations. A photo album that your family will want to sit and flip through for many years to come.

 

Let's face it, our lives are chaotic and as a busy Mom I know it's hard to find the time to order prints let alone design and order a photo album.

 

Let me do the work for you.

 

I also include a print credit with each collection because I want you to have professionally printed products on your walls
that you can proudly display in your home.

 

You can choose items from my a' la carte list of professionally printed products.
(gift prints, large prints for the wall, images printed on canvas or wood, etc.)


You can also put your credit towards additional digital images and upgrade album sizes.
