That’s completely okay — and absolutely expected! I specialize in working with high-energy little ones, camera-shy kids, and every personality in between. Some of the most beautiful moments happen in the in-between — giggles, glances, and spontaneous hugs. I’ll gently guide the session while letting your child be themselves, and together we’ll capture something real (and really lovely...AND, sometimes, hilarious).

Life doesn’t slow down, which is exactly why now is the perfect time. I offer flexible scheduling, efficient sessions, and a process designed to take the pressure off your plate. You don’t have to wait until “life calms down” — let’s press pause and create something lasting, right in the middle of the beautiful chaos.

You don’t need to know how to pose yourself. That's where I come in with gentle guidance at every step so you look and feel natural.”You’re not alone — most parents feel this way at first. But I promise: this is where I come in. My job is to make you feel confident, comfortable, and natural every step of the way. With gentle guidance, wardrobe support, and a no-pressure environment, we’ll capture portraits that reflect not just how you look, but how you love.

They rarely do — and that’s okay. I’ve photographed families with newborn blowouts, toddler tantrums, sibling squabbles, and everything in between. I bring years of experience, a calm presence, and a flexible approach to every session. Whatever happens, I’ll be ready — and we’ll still create something meaningful together.

The best portraits come from real connection, not picture-perfect posing. I don’t expect perfection — just presence. Whether someone forgets to tuck in their shirt or the toddler melts down mid-session, I’ll keep things light, flexible, and calm. And in the end, you’ll have images that feel like your family — exactly as they are in this beautiful season.
