I understand how overwhelming this can feel, especially with everything you’re balancing in this season of life.
Getting everyone ready and on board isn’t always easy — and you don’t have to carry that on your own.
With my guidance, we’ll create an experience that feels simple, seamless, and truly enjoyable for your whole family.

"I am so thankful to finally have some professional photos of all of us together, as well as the beautifully packaged prints. Thank you for coaching me through the outfit selection process as well. You are very talented and I appreciate how you took the time to ease everyone into feeling comfortable with the photo shoot, especially my husband."
You captured our family’s personality
II’ve always valued having meaningful moments preserved, especially as I became a wife and mother. And because I know what it feels like to not feel camera-ready, I’m grateful for those who helped me feel comfortable and present with the ones I love.
Those experiences shaped my heart for this work — creating photographs that honor your season of life, especially the ones that seem to pass before you’re ready.
Sessions take place in beautiful outdoor locations near Vancouver, WA -- or at a meaningful place your family loves. After hearing what you envision, I’ll choose just the right location that fits your family, the light, and the overall feel you’re hoping for.
As your session approaches, I’ll watch the weather to make sure we have the best conditions. If rain or unexpected weather shows up, we’ll simply choose a new date that works for your family.
Not to worry! It’s completely normal for someone to feel that way heading into a session. I’ll help everyone relax, feel comfortable, and ease in naturally. With gentle guidance and plenty of genuine in-between moments, we’ll capture real smiles. The whole family will leave feeling more connected and pleasantly surprised by how enjoyable it all was.
A session with me feels like having that friend who keeps everything organized, offers gentle reassurance, and makes you feel seen, valued, and cared for every step of the way.
