Honest Portraits of your life

AS YOUR PHOTOGRAPHER I BELIEVE…

Genuine and authentic portraits are the most timeless and cherished. As a documentary photographer, I will focus on your connection with your family. Our session will be relaxed and organic in order to bring out what you love the most about the people close to you!

REPRESENTATION MATTERS.

I want to create a safe space for you and your family, where you can enjoy our time together and share your love with the world. To support the entire community a portion of all photo sessions are put into a scholarship fund to make doula care accessible to LGBTQ+ and BIPOC. Scholarships can be used in any of my doula support packages or transferred to a doula that may better support you. Send me an email below for more details!

SESSIONS ARE FUN, LAID BACK AND MEANINGFUL.

Our goal is to create something deeply moving for you and your children to love and adore as the years pass. Choose from sessions that include photos or modern family films to document your entire story!

NO POSING. NO PROPS. NO STRESS.

Before our session we will work together to tell the most important parts of your story during this time. Everything can be done online to make things as easy as possible. Fill out your contract and questionnaire while nursing the baby or hop on after you put the kids to bed.

ALL INCLUSIVE DIGITALS.

After your session you receive your entire gallery through an online gallery. A custom GIFT ALBUM will be available for pick up 2 weeks after our session. Additional souvenirs are available for purchase a la carte. No extras or fluff, just beautiful memories you can pass down for generations.

Modern family films

A unique time capsule of your family at this moment in time. Available as an ADD ON to any photo session. Results in a beautifully edited 2-3 minute family film set to thoughtfully hand selected, licensed music delivered online via Vimeo. That’s right not just a slideshow but a SHORT FILM OF YOUR FAMILY! A limited number of film sessions are taken every year, inquire to check availability. Check out the Film Portfolio Here!
