Making the choice to schedule a family photo shoot can be hard. (I see that you’re here, so high five to you!) You want the updated family photos to hang on your walls, but you may also feel overwhelmed with the idea of planning outfits, finding a time that works for every family member, and worrying how the children will do. I’m here to tell you, we’ve got this!
My on location eye for light, combined with over 10 years of photographing families of all ages and sizes, gives me the experience we need to have a beautiful family photo shoot together, whether out in nature, at Biltmore Estate, or somewhere else you choose!

My approach to photography is natural and playful. I LOVE documenting your moments as they happen, whether that’s a perfect little yawn from your newborn baby, or your older kids playing a game in the other room. I am here for those snuggle moments, and in between moments that you will cherish for the rest of your life. |

When you book your photography session with me, I will guide you through the hard parts, and the not so hard parts. I take away the worry and stress, and help with what to wear, how to prepare your partner and children for photos, how to choose your new wall art and hang it in your home, and more. I am here to help make this beautiful experience fun and seamless. After all, you have enough to worry about with keeping your family safe and happy in the day to day! |
