Families, Big and Small—We Capture It All
Whether it’s your first baby bump, a newborn snuggle session, or a full-on family reunion with generations gathered—every family has a story worth preserving. I specialize in capturing moments that feel like you—natural, connected, and joy-filled.
From maternity and newborn milestones to playful toddler days and grown-up portraits, I document the love, chaos, and beauty in all its forms. I work with families of all shapes and sizes, including those who are neurodivergent, and I do my best to create a space where everyone feels safe, seen, and celebrated.
We’ll keep things easy, light-hearted, and fun—guiding you just enough so you don’t feel awkward, but giving you room to be yourselves. Because the magic happens in the in-between moments: a glance, a giggle, a squeeze.

FAQ
How are you handling cancellations and rescheduling with COVID?

When should I book?
→ Booking at least a month or two ahead is ideal to lock in your date. The earlier the better since it could get hectic towards the holidays and wedding season.
When and how do we receive our photos?

Can you send us the "raw" pictures?
→ Nope!
1. I literally shoot in a “RAW” format on my camera to retain better details especially when editing.
2. You’re hiring me for the photos you see on here which are my fully edited, finished work with nice and crisp colors and quality.
→ Giving the “raw”, unedited photos is like a chef giving you an unseasoned, bland dish. So please trust me & the process!
