Does the thought of getting family photos sound more stressful than fun? I’m not surprised.

Throughout life, we often encounter the term "investment." We're encouraged to invest in our education, homeownership, career development, stocks and bonds, and various other endeavors.

All I need to create timeless family portraits you’ll love forever is a family willing to let go and have fun. I’d love to explain. As moms, we put so much pressure on ourselves to be perfect. We compare our family to others we know and see online. You might see someone’s family portrait and think that’s not possible for you. You might believe the myth that some families are just photogenic. Or, like many of my clients with young children, you might worry about how your kids will behave during the session.

This way, you’ll know exactly what to expect after you hit “send”!
