welcome
Capture the essence of your family in timeless moments filled with laughter, love, and genuine connections. With over a decade of experience, I specialize in family sessions that are not only about creating beautiful images but also about capturing the authentic joy of your bond. From candid shots to posed portraits, your session with me is an adventure of discovery, where every smile, every hug, and every shared glance tells your story.
Before booking
I do my best to customize your session to your personal needs. Before you decide to work with me, please take a look at my portfolio, blog, Instagram and Facebook page . Each photographer has their own unique style and it’s important that you choose a photographer whose style is in line with what you would want your images to look like! If you have ideas for your session (style, pose, etc) and you’re not sure if they fit with what you’ve seen of my work, let’s chat about it in advance to make sure I can deliver a product you’ll love. If not, no worries, I have plenty of great referrals for you.
How to book a session
So you like what you’ve seen and are ready to book? Use the form on the Contact me tab to get in touch with me. My assistant or I will respond to your inquiry within 1-48 hours with any questions and available session dates. In order to finalize the booking process and reserve your session date on my calendar, a signed contract and $200 non-refundable retainer must be received. The remaining session fee balance is due before or at the time of your session.
I only take a limited amount of family sessions a year and usually scheduled between late May and early November, so to guarantee a spot on my calendar, please schedule 4-6 months in advance.

baby Milena | 12 days new
This newborn session was extra special. I’ve been photographing this beautiful family since they were expecting their first daughter, capturing so many meaningful moments along the way. Being able to document this next chapter was truly special. 🫶
Watching big sister with her new baby sister was pure love 🤍

This sweet family has been with me since 2019, when they were first expecting their daughter. Since then, I’ve had the honor of photographing their son as a newborn, and now welcoming them back into the studio for another maternity session as they prepare to meet their newest little love.
Watching families grow over the years and being trusted to document each chapter is something I never take for granted. I truly adore these moments, these connections, and the stories we continue to tell together.
Counting down the days until I get to photograph their newest baby very soon 🤍

Fourteen days new and absolutely perfect 🤍
Sweet baby Scarlet was an absolute dream - tiny details, peaceful stretches, and the most perfect newborn snuggles. These first days are fleeting, and capturing them in a soft, timeless way is always such an honor.
Welcome to the world, beautiful girl 🤍
