oh man, family sessions are so special to me. As a mama myself, I know how important and amazing it is to have photos of your family. it can also be a source of stress so I have made myself an expert in creating a fun and chill environment for my families to have the best time ever. I specialize in candid, authentic experiences which are centered around connection.
I am here for you
i'm a planner
no, seriously like i am a pen and paper, type a, organized person to the max. this is excellent for my clients because I provide so much info to help my families be as prepared as possible for their session. this info includes:
- full access to me whether that means email, dm, phone call, texting, whatever you need!
- a location guide with a full breakdown of each spot
- styling assistance customized to you and your needs
- a questionnaire to help me get to know you and your family
- session guide full of tips, ideas, and information
documentary sessions
Family sessions are where my love for a more natural, authentic style of photography bloomed from. As a mom, I yearn to capture my own babies in every stage of life. I want to look back and remember all the sweet and silly things they did, I want to see their perfectly imperfect little smiles, and I want to remember how much we laughed. I can work myself into a panic thinking about how fast they grow, and knowing I have an endless amount of photos eases that panic just a bit.
I achieve this style in a few ways. First, I give us all the time we need. kids are unpredictable, full of big feelings, and wildly curious and wonderful. This means that we might need to take breaks, try different things, move around, ect. I want us to have the time we need, without feeling rushed.
Another way I am able to capture authentic moments is by allowing them to happen. My sessions are kid led. I will always strive to capture a beautiful, smiley family photo, but I spend more time following y'all around as you walk and play with your kids. I want your session to feel like y'all.
The documentary style is a partnership. We have to work together, trust each other, and lean into whatever comes our way. The result is always worth it.
