Unposed Fall Family Sessions

Real life. Real connection. No performance required.

Time moves fast. My firstborn just turned 18 and my youngest is 7 months old.
Having kids this far apart has given me a perspective I did not have before. It has made me realize what I truly value and where my art comes from. It comes from the exact moments that go by too quickly.

This year, instead of capturing what you look like, let us document what this time in your life feels like.

These sessions are a quick chance to spend some real time together. Even dads think it is fun because we play. I do not skimp on my creative process just because this is a mini session. This is still quality time for your family.

Whether you have a toddler who refuses to sit still, a preschooler who only wants to wear a princess dress, or a teenager who is too cool for this, I will meet them where they are. No stiff poses. No performance. Just your family, exactly as you are.

    Details

    Your newborn session takes place right in the comfort of your home, warm, calm, and exactly where you and your fresh little love belong.
    No packing up. No braving the cold. No need to make everything perfect.

    I work with the natural light in your space (and bring gentle lighting if needed) so you can simply relax, breathe, and soak in these early moments while I capture them for you.

    Getting Ready

    I’ll send you a simple, stress-free getting-ready guide so you feel prepared, even if you’re running on very little sleep. During your session, my goal is to capture a soft mix of moments a few gently posed, a few real-life and cozy, with your sleepy babe snuggled in your arms. And above all, I always make sure you feel comfortable, supported, and beautiful in every frame.
