FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHY

Real moments with the people you love most.

THIS SEASON OF LIFE

They're growing up faster than you think.

The piggyback rides, the sticky hugs, the inside jokes, and the way your kids still reach for your hand. This version of your family won't look quite the same next year.

Family sessions are relaxed, playful, and guided, so you can stop worrying about everyone smiling at the camera and simply enjoy being together.

No stiff poses. No forced smiles. Just your family.

A RELAXED APPROACH

Little ones set the pace.

I expect kids to be kids. We'll play games, move around, take breaks, and let the giggles happen naturally.

And if someone in your family isn't thrilled about photos (yes, I'm looking at you, dads), don't worry. I keep things fun, quick, and as stress-free as possible.

Some of my favorite photographs come from the moments in between.

Dogs are family, too.

Just let me know ahead of time and we'll choose a pet-friendly location. Grandparents and extended family are always welcome, too.

We usually start with the whole group, then break into smaller combinations so the little ones can wiggle free.

BOOKING YOUR FAMILY SESSION

Golden hour is worth planning for.

The softest, warmest light happens in the hour before sunset. For families with little ones and early bedtimes, I also offer morning sessions with beautiful natural light.

Fall sessions in Michigan fill up quickly, so I recommend booking 1–2 months ahead for September and October.

Most popular months

May through October, especially fall color season.

Best time of day

The hour before sunset, or early morning.

Because you'll want to remember them just like this.
