Family photography sessions with me are never boring.   I encourage you to  let the kids dress themselves.  Let them make jokes and be wild.  Let’s make poop jokes and you can spin them in the backyard until they almost throw up (almost, not really).  Real smiles and explosive laughter are magic.  You don’t have to worry about them behaving or smiling for the camera-  I rarely ask for that to happen.   I don’t want you to feel like you need to bribe them or that you need everything to be perfect.   After all, I’m not really going for that.  I’m hoping to catch you showing each other that beautiful and real love.

Do I go on location for session stories?  Yes.  I will encourage you to think about your own home first.   I think of my own family during every year we’ve been together and have moved to four different homes.  Every place is unique as is every age and stage with your children.  Home, what it means, how it looks, I wish I had it captured for all of it because every part was meaningful.  If you are concerned with how your home looks, please don’t.  I look for light and connection and we can move around mess   I’m open to going to a location – the aim, the feel of each session, is to show your family as a unit, a lovely group. On location, I spend time getting to know your kids, allowing time for play and fun and adventure.
