The family experience

Your session is so much more than just photos — it’s about creating an experience your family will actually enjoy. From our first conversation to the moment you open your final gallery, I’ll guide you through every step so it feels effortless and relaxed. My goal is for you to show up ready to connect, laugh, and just be yourselves while I handle the rest.


Below, you’ll find answers to common questions and a look at my 5-step process — designed to make your photography experience simple, stress-free, and full of genuine moments.

How It All Comes Together

Here’s a look at what you can expect from start to finish — a simple, guided process that keeps things relaxed and enjoyable every step of the way.

Inquire and Book

Reach out through my contact form to get started! We’ll chat about your vision, location preferences, and session details. Once you’re ready to move forward, your date is secured with a signed contract and a $100 deposit.

Plan & Prep

You’ll receive helpful guides to make planning easy — from outfit inspiration to my pre-session questionnaire so I can get to know your family’s dynamic. The less you have to stress about, the better. I’ll be here to guide you every step of the way.

Session Day

Relax and enjoy! I’ll gently guide you through natural prompts and candid moments so your photos feel real, not posed. Expect laughter, movement, and maybe a little sand between your toes.

Gallery Delivery

Within about two weeks, you’ll receive a private online gallery filled with beautifully edited images. From there, you can select and download your included images or upgrade to the full gallery directly through your link.

Share & Preserve

Download your favorite images and share them with family and friends — or use your exclusive print coupon to order professional-quality prints through my recommended lab. Your memories deserve to be seen and celebrated!
