INVESTMENT

This season of your family is shorter than it feels..

 

As a mom of two littles, I find myself nostalgic for this part even while I'm living it... I don't want you to miss any of it either.


It's why every quality edited image from your session is yours. I don't hold anything back from your gallery because I've too struggled when I was told I can only pick 5 or 10.

 

You won't really know which photo matters most until years from now... It's why I give you them all

The Moment

Thirty minutes at a spot I've already scouted for good light. Short enough that nobody typically melts down... and if they do, it's okay (I promise!)


It includes:

  • A 30-minute session at one of my recommended seasonal locations
  • Every quality edited image from your session
  • A what-to-wear and expect guide, so you're not standing in yours or your kids closet the night before
  • Your own private online gallery, yours to download and print

No image limits, if it's good, it's yours.

 

$250

Asian family portrait with mother, father, and baby in a warm outdoor setting.
Standard session | 60 mins | IN-HOME OR ON LOCATION

The Hour

An hour together, at a location of your choosing: maybe your kids favorite park, downtown at your favorite ice cream spot, or in your home.


It includes:

  • 60 minutes, on location or in your home
  • Time for an outfit or location change, if you'd like one
  • Every quality edited image from your session
  • A short get-to-know-you questionnaire beforehand to help me better show up for you and your family
  • Your own private online gallery, yours to download and print

Same promise - no image limits, no add-ons, nothing held back for later.

 

$475

Parent and child sitting together on a sunny sandy beach by the ocean.
Documentary session | 90 mins | in-home or on location

The Unhurried

This one is documentary at heart. A whole lot less of "look at the camera" and more of your family in its element... the Sunday-morning breakfast, the backyard fun, or the bedtime routine. I'll mostly fade into the background and let the time unfold the way it actually does in this season you're in.


There's room for a few posed portraits if you'd like them, but most of our time together will be capturing the in-between and lived-in moments.


It includes:

  • 90 minutes, in your home or split between locations that feel like your family
  • Documentary-focused, with a handful of posed portraits if you want them
  • A personalized styling guide, so the day feels a little easier
  • A get-to-know-you questionnaire beforehand, so I can show up ready for your family
  • Every quality edited image from your session
  • Your own private online gallery, yours to download and print
