Documentary photography, lifestyle photography, candid photos whatever you choose to call it…I call it capturing your life.

Most, if not all people have a preconceived understanding on what a family portrait should be. We all remember those stiff portraits from your local photo studio or Sears with best clothing, big fake smiles and sitting up straight and looking into the camera.

I love looking at a box of portraits from my family, of my parents and grandparents when the photos were only taken during a special occasion, like a wedding or a first day of school. These days we all have a camera in our hands in a form of your cell phone. These phones are getting  better and better each year, and even though I take tons of photos of my own child or our family with our phones nothing compares to what I can accomplish with light and shadow when I pick up my big girl camera.

With my client sessions I want to create an experience that is worth saving and looking through over and over.

I want to capture YOUR REAL MOMENTS while capturing your family portrait.

We will find activities that will fill our time together whether in the comfort of your home or in your favorite park.

I want to show you that your normal is beautiful! Your everyday is magic!

I will capture the connection of your day to day life. Of course, always throwing in that classic family portrait. But, I want to record you playing with your kids, reading them books, running around your house or playing walking around their favorite streets or playground.

Showing you how even the smallest of moments will bring you the greatest of joy when you look back on the life you have built.

Let’s create a unique family portrait that captures the essence of YOUR family.

Because those are the images you and your children will look back on and cherish the most.
