FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHY

GIVE ME the chaos,

the messy,

the grass stained knees,

the wild laughter,

the snuggles

I’ve always loved photography, but since becoming a mom I find myself sentimental and already nostalgic about the tiniest details of my son. The adorable expressions, the cute mannerisms, the way his hair will curl just a bit at the nape of his neck. I can’t be the only parent out there who looks at their little ones and thinks, “please just let me memorize the beauty of this moment.” I always strive to capture your family with the same love I feel for my own.

WHAT TO EXPECT FROM A FAMILY SESSION

YOU WANT THOSE HEARTFELT FAMILY PHOTOS… BUT NOW YOUR MIND STARTS SWIRLING. WHAT IF THE KIDS DON’T SMILE? WHAT IF THEY GET DIRTY? FULL BLOWN MELTDOWN?

Deep breath! It’s your job to get everyone dressed and loaded in the car, but once you arrive it’s my job to take over. My family sessions are very laid back. We’ll explore, play, and run around outside! All you have to do as parents is interact with your kids, love on them, and embrace the chaos. I’ll give you direction when needed, but I love candid photography and have found the most meaningful photos are of real life moments.

  • Minnesota documentary family photographer

    Easy Like Sunday Morning

    This documentary style session is all about taking time to do something you love to do together as a family. Let me be the fly on the wall as I document and preserve your precious memories. No smile and look at the camera - just real raw emotion. Do you make pancakes as a family every Sunday morning? Do you love to hit the beach or go fishing together? How about a trip to the park? Whatever it is, those core memories make up a life together.

    Let’s go explore! This laid back and unrushed session is perfect for kids who love to run wild and free. While the focus of these sessions is candid moments and tender connection, there will also be time to capture some more classic images.

  • Don’t worry - I keep my sessions laid back and lighthearted on purpose! I let the kids take the lead. We’ll play, chase, laugh, and explore together. My sessions are far from stuffy! I want to capture genuine emotion and connection, not just “smile at the camera.”
