Planning Together

We’ll choose the perfect location, date, and time for your family. Then we’ll chat about any ideas or vision you have for the session.

Getting Comfortable

As a mom, I know kids can be shy. I gently connect with them at their level—talking about their name and interests, and giving them space to explore. My goal is to make them feel happy and at ease. For kids 3 and up, I may ask for a little space during photos. This helps me capture real, natural expressions instead of forced smiles. Of course, if your child needs you, I’ll bring you back in.

Older Kids

I always bring a speaker with me and am perfectly fine playing the kids favorite music. I work hard on getting them to cut loose and get those genuine smiles. I keep them engaged and let them help direct the session. This works wonders.

Natural Smiles Only

No “say cheese” here! I focus on genuine moments and real smiles. Please avoid asking your child to smile—let me work my magic.

What to Wear

Choose outfits in coordinating tones (not necessarily matching colors). Avoid stripes, logos, and busy patterns. Bare feet are welcome!

Feeling Sick?

If your child isn’t feeling well, please reschedule. I want them to enjoy the session! Don’t worry about small blemishes—light retouching is included.

My Style

I photograph in a relaxed, documentary style—capturing the real moments you share every day. I keep things fun, easy, and natural for everyone.
