From start to finish, I’ll be there to guide you. We’ll begin by dreaming up a vision for your session, whether it’s deciding on outfits, choosing the perfect location, or incorporating meaningful activities that reflect your family’s personality. I use questionnaires, Pinterest mood boards, and Zoom calls to go over every detail with you before the big day, ensuring everything feels just right.

When it comes to editing, I have an artful approach that brings a nostalgic, warm, and lively feel to your photos. Your gallery will be delivered with a slideshow and in an online gallery where you can select your favorite images and print them wherever you choose.
On your session day, I’ll arrive early to help everyone settle in and get comfortable. I take things nice and slow, letting the kids play, ask questions, and be curious. I give them space if they need it, and snack breaks are almost always a must. I shoot with a combination of digital and 35mm film, with an option to add Super 8 film. Film photography takes time and effort, that I find adds a timeless quality and a level of artistry and nostalgia to the images.

The subtle imperfections and warm tones of Super 8 make it feel like you've stumbled upon a family heirloom, full of real, unscripted moments. Including it in your family session is like giving your memories a touch of magic, making them feel even more heartfelt and special.
