Take a peek inside a few favorites.

The best way to know what a session with me feels like is to wander through a real gallery. Here are a few recent lifestyle sessions I absolutely loved — click in and see their stories from start to finish.

Time to breathe

A relaxed hour, fully yours.

With a full session, there’s no rush. We have time to warm up, move between a couple of looks or locations, and let kids be kids. That breathing room is where the best, most natural images happen.

Life moves fast, and memories fade faster than we’d like. That’s where I come in. These aren’t just photographs — they’re a way back to the feelings, the closeness, the beautiful chaos of right now. Fleeting moments, held still, so you can revisit your story any time you like.

It’s the right choice for bigger families, multiple generations, milestone moments, or anyone who simply wants more variety in their gallery.

The whole crew

Made for the big, beautiful gatherings.

Grandparents, cousins, the whole extended family in one frame — these are the photos that become heirlooms. A full session gives everyone time to relax so the group shots feel warm, not wrangled.

Extended family sessions are $750 + tax and include up to 90 minutes of shooting time and 150+ hand-edited images — grandparents, cousins, and every combination in between. Something even larger or multi-family? I’m happy to build a custom quote.

Good to know

Lifestyle session FAQ.

How long is a lifestyle session?
A lifestyle session runs about an hour, and an extended family session gives us up to 90 minutes. That unhurried pace lets us capture a range of moments and gives little ones time to relax into it.
What’s included?
A full hour of shooting, hand-editing, and a private online gallery of 100+ high-resolution images, with print and sharing rights and no required add-ons.
How much do sessions cost?
A lifestyle session is $600 + tax and an extended family session is $750 + tax. For especially large or multi-family gatherings, I’m happy to build a custom quote.
Can we include extended family?
Absolutely — that’s exactly what the Extended Family session is for: $750 + tax with up to 90 minutes of shooting time, 150+ images, and every grouping from grandparents to cousins. Just mention who’s joining when you inquire.
Where do sessions take place?
You’ll choose from my curated list of locations, some of which you can see right here on the website — but I’m always open to shooting anywhere your family (or senior!) has in mind. Every spot is picked for beautiful light and natural backdrops, and with a full session we can often include more than one.
What should we wear?
Coordinated, not matching — soft neutrals and earth tones in textures you feel great in, nothing too busy or logo-heavy. You’ll get my full wardrobe guide right after you book, and I’m here to help you navigate outfits every step of the way, so don’t stress this part!
What about newborn sessions?
Newborn sessions ideally happen within seven to ten days of baby being born, and can take place wherever you’re most comfortable — in the coziness of your own home or outdoors in soft natural light. We go entirely at baby’s pace, with plenty of breaks for nursing, snuggles, or whenever mama needs a breather. No rushing, ever.
I have a senior shooting with you — what can we expect?
Within their hour, seniors can have up to two locations and two outfit changes — and I always say bring the things that matter to them: hobbies, Bibles, letterman jackets, medals, instruments, you name it. We’ll make time for all of those details and capture the things that have been part of their story along the way!
How long until we get our photos?
Your finished gallery arrives within about two weeks, often sooner.
Can I see a sneak peek?
Yes! Lifestyle sessions come with a sneak peek — within three days of your session, I’ll post ten of my favorite images to Instagram and invite you as a collaborator on the post, so the sneak peek lands right on your feed too!
How do I book?
Send a quick note through the contact form with who’s joining and your preferred dates. I’ll confirm the details and get you on the calendar.
