The Experience: Connection Over Perfection

Forget the stiff poses and the "everyone look at the camera and stay still" pressure. My family sessions are designed to be a playdate with a purpose. As a mom of five, I know that real life is messy, loud, and beautiful. I don’t just "take photos", I navigate the meltdowns and the mismatched socks so you can focus on loving your people. We’ll spend our time chasing the light, sharing laughs, and capturing the genuine spark that makes your family yours.

What’s Included

  • Style & Wardrobe Guidance: No more "what do we wear?" stress. I provide a comprehensive styling guide and personal consultations to help you coordinate a look that feels like you—only elevated.

  • The Chaos Guarantee: Whether we are in a golden field in Evergreen or your living room in Aurora, I work at your family’s pace. If the kids need a snack break or a minute to run, we take it.

  • High-End Artistry: Your session includes a curated gallery of hand-edited, high-resolution images ready for your walls and your legacy.

  • Full Service Support: From picking the perfect Denver-area location to helping you design heirloom albums, I’m with you every step of the way.

The Experience

Family sessions with me are less about 'perfect' poses and more about the unscripted beauty of your life together. It’s an hour carved out of a busy world to simply be with the people you love most—at a park, on a beach, or in the comfort of your own backyard.

The Full Collection I don’t want you to have to choose between a laugh and a quiet embrace. My approach is entirely all-inclusive, meaning your investment covers the complete story. You will receive your full, high-resolution digital gallery of hand-edited images, delivered in a private online space for you to download, share, and cherish.

A Lasting Legacy While your digital gallery is the centerpiece, I am a firm believer that some memories deserve to be held. To help you move these moments from your screen to your walls, I offer a curated selection of bespoke heirloom prints and custom products. These are available as a thoughtful extension of your session, ensuring your family’s legacy is preserved for generations to come.

Frequently Asked Questions

"What if my kids don't behave?" Good! I don't want them to "behave"; I want them to be themselves. I’ve been a professional photographer for nearly 20 years and an educator during the week—I thrive in the energy of young humans. We will get the shot, I promise.

"Where should we go?" I have a list of tried-and-true, stress-free locations across Aurora, Denver, and the foothills. Whether you want mountain views or an intimate in-home session, we’ll find the spot that fits your family's vibe.

"How far in advance should I book?" To ensure a stress-free planning experience, I recommend reaching out 4–6 weeks in advance, especially for those coveted sunset "golden hour" sessions.
