My family sessions are relaxed, playful, and documentary in feel—just like the way real life unfolds. Two hours and two nearby spots that matter to you, we’ll capture your family’s unique rhythm with a mix of close moments and variety. I’ll also help you choose outfits so everything feels natural and looks beautifully cohesive. This session includes $100 print credit on any print or photo album from my store.
