your story,  your way


You’re here because you want to document the perfect, unique details of your family. You never want to forget your newborn’s tiny features (even though you currently spend 99.99% of your time staring at them). You want to document your son’s big, contagious smile or the way your daughter still loves to be carried on your shoulders. 

You want evidence of your existence as a mother to your beautiful crew. I’m here to document it + make art out of your everyday moments. To breathe new life and inspiration into the mundane. 

I’m here to honor the invisible work of parents – the important work that we do day after day, night after night.

To bear witness to the dinner-making, the snotty-nose-wiping, the hair washing, the bedtime story reading. All of those redundant tasks that don't feel very important at the time. 

Those are actually the moments that build a childhood. Those are the moments that are building your beautiful life.

These photos will bring you back to those moments.

what will a family session feel like?


Your session will be so enjoyable for you and your family. We keep things very laid back and comfortable. I don’t force your kids to look at me and say “cheese” — quite the opposite, actually. I typically do a lot of observing, noticing all the quirks + gestures that make your kids unique.

I strike a balance between documentary style and gentle prompts. If I see a lovely patch of light, I will place your family in that spot and see what magic unfolds. Kids’ ideas and imaginations are so fun and beautiful, I love to see what they come up with instead of trying to tell them what to do. 

We focus on your real connection as a family. We document how you are together, naturally, without too many posing moments. When we hold space, be fully present, and allow kids to be kids — that’s when the magic moments happen.
