why I chose family photography

Growing up, I wasn’t exactly fond of having my picture taken. I can still remember the awkwardness of posing for family photos and trying to hide behind my siblings. As a kid, I didn’t see the point. I didn’t want to stand still and smile at a camera for what felt like hours, especially when it always seemed to catch me in a moment that wasn’t me.

That’s why I decided to specialize in family photography. I understand the discomfort, the reluctance, and the pressure to look perfect. But here’s the thing: family photos don’t need to be perfect to be beautiful. In fact, the more authentic and relaxed the session, the better the final result will be.

Bring me your awkward. Bring me your “we are not photogenic.” Bring me your “my kids won’t look at the camera.” Bring me all your concerns, and I’ll take care of the rest. It's my job to create an environment where you feel at ease, where you can just be yourselves, and where the love between you and your family shines through in every frame.

Now, I know it’s great if your outfits are coordinated. It adds a nice touch, but it’s absolutely not a requirement. What really matters is your connection with each other. The more relaxed and natural you are, the better your photos will turn out. It’s all about the moments that matter most—your laughter, the little gestures, the glances shared between siblings, and the unspoken bond between parents and their children.

One of my recent reviews included the words, “The photos are so authentically us!” That, right there, is the greatest compliment I could receive. Because, for me, it’s not about perfectly staged shots or posing everyone just so. It’s about capturing the real, raw, unfiltered love within your family. It’s about authenticity, connection, and alignment, and creating an experience that’s as fun as it is meaningful.

So, if you’ve been thinking about booking a family session, now’s the perfect time. Summer and fall sessions are filling up fast, and it’s always better to get it on the calendar sooner than later. Let’s capture those moments that truly reflect the heart of your family. I can’t wait to work with you and create something unforgettable.

Book your session today, and let’s make memories that will last a lifetime.
