Session Details & Pricing
The photos I cherish most from my own childhood are the unplanned ones that showed what life actually looked like, such as ice cream breaks with my sister (should I get bangs again?). That's the spirit I bring to every session, whether we spend a full day together or 30 minutes at golden hour
My goal is to make this experience feel easy and connective for you. I bring a calm, observant energy shaped by years of working with kids, teens, and families. It's closer to having a friend visit, someone who can see your world with fresh eyes and a good camera.
Some families want to be completely in the moment with no direction at all. Others like a little guidance along the way. I'll walk you through everything ahead of time so the session fits your comfort level and you know exactly what to expect.
Below you'll find every session option, what's included, and answers to the questions I hear most.

Hand over the reins completely. I move through your morning, meals, and downtime quietly, capturing what I see. Sessions range from a half day to a full pajamas-to-pajamas day, we'll figure out the right length for your family together.
No direction, no posing, just your real day, photographed as it unfolds.
Day in the Life Sessions
starts at $2500
If you’d like to talk things through first, you’re always welcome to book a quick call. A retainer holds your spot and goes toward your total fee. The remaining balance is due the day before your session.
When your gallery is ready, you’ll be able to download your images, order prints, and choose any heirloom products you’d like. Everything is created through professional labs and delivered right to your door.
On the day of your session, it’ll feel less like a photoshoot and more like having a friend in the room who happens to have a good camera and an eye for noticing the special moments and details.
After booking, you’ll receive a welcome guide, simple prep tips, and a short questionnaire that helps me learn about your family. A week before, I’ll check in to finalize details and answer any last questions.

DIGITAL GALLERY
Custom Heirloom Album
slideshow
You’ll receive a private online gallery with the images from your session — a mix of color and black-and-white shaped by your preferences. Every photo is included as a high-resolution download, so there’s no narrowing things down or choosing favorites.
If you’d like to order prints or keepsakes, your gallery includes a custom print shop built right in — no need to upload files anywhere else. It’s an easy, one-stop way to bring your images off the screen and into your home.
Your session includes a handcrafted linen album. The lay-flat design lets each image sit comfortably across the page without bending or distortion, and every spread is designed by me to reflect the natural rhythm of your session. It arrives just a few weeks after your gallery, ready to live on your coffee table or in the hands of the people you love. Not included for Short & Sweet Sessions
Along with your gallery, you’ll receive a short slideshow set to music — a gentle way to experience your photos as a story rather than one image at a time. I choose a sequence that reflects the natural flow of your session, so you can revisit the feeling of the day with ease. It’s perfect for sharing with family or simply watching on your own when you want to remember what this season felt like. Not included in Short & Sweet Sessions.
Here's what's included
You don’t need to prepare anything. Documentary sessions flow from the ordinary things you already do as a family. Some families like to have a couple of familiar activities in mind — not to stage moments, but to give everyone something natural to move through while the real moments unfold. Check out this short guide: 10 Activities for your Documentary Family Session (Spoiler: they’re things you probably already do.)
Do we need to prepare anything?
Frequently asked questions
Session length depends on the type of coverage. Portrait-focused sessions (Short & Sweet Session, Extended Family Portraits) tend to run shorter, about 30 minutes to an hour, while documentary sessions (The Family Session, Newborn Sessions) run longer, typically one to two hours, to allow real moments room to unfold. Day in the Life Sessions range from a half day to a full pajamas-to-pajamas day.
Whatever session you choose, I'll walk you through what to expect ahead of time so the pacing feels comfortable and unrushed.
How long does a family session last?
Frequently asked questions
In documentary family photography, your kids don’t have to perform or pretend. There’s nothing to “cooperate” with. They can play, explore, and just be themselves, and I’ll photograph the real moments that come from that. Many families tell me this is the part they appreciate most — the session feels natural instead of stressful. If time is your concern, the Short & Sweet Session might be just right for you!
What if my kids don’t cooperate?
Frequently asked questions
If you'd like a few images where everyone looks at the camera, we can absolutely do that in The Family Session. I'm happy to set aside some time at the end of your session so you have both the documentary moments and a simple, camera-facing photo of everyone together, along with various combinations of family members. NOTE: If you want mostly guided portraits, the Short & Sweet Session (for one household) or Extended Family Portraits (for larger groups) are a great fit for you.
What if we also want a few posed photos?
