Families & Maternity
From the first flutter of a baby bump to the joyful moments shared with grandparents, documenting parenthood is a deep honor. My family and maternity sessions are designed to let kids be kids and adults be present, capturing every joyful moment and everyone's little toes and laugh lines. I take the approach of letting kids be kids by getting down on their level, engaging them in fun activities, and encouraging them to interact with their environment. This way, their natural joy and spontaneity shine through in every image, capturing their candid, happy moments just as they are.
My editing style is vibrant and true-to-life, reflecting how your children see the world and making every sunset and moment as beautiful as it felt.
Instead of limiting your images, I offer a curated gallery of 50++ hand-edited photos. This ensures every laugh, memory, hug, glance, and smile is beautifully preserved. When you receive your gallery, you'll know you’re getting the best of the best, capturing every moment as vividly as it felt.
What if the beach is crowded? Will there be strangers in my images?
No worries! I recommend quieter spots and carefully edit out any distractions so your images focus solely on your family.
Are you LGBTQ+ friendly?
Absolutely! Family is family, and love is love. All are welcome here.
How long until I receive my images?
I typically deliver full galleries within 14 days. I might share sneak peeks, though they aren't guaranteed. If you need your images sooner, rush options are available for an additional fee.
Do you edit out certain things or make me look a specific way?
I typically enhance eyes, whiten teeth, clear blemishes, and lightly smooth skin to help you look polished and feel your best. For beach shoots, wind-blown hair is part of the natural look and edited within reason. I don’t handle preventable wardrobe issues like wrinkles, and offer additional body adjustments for an additional cost after you receive your final gallery.
My family is visiting; can we include guests?
Of course! It’s wonderful to include everyone special in your shoot. Just let me know if more than 6 people will be participating so I can plan accordingly.
Will my children be posted on the internet?
Not without your explicit permission! You can choose to opt out, request faceless images, or give consent for sharing. Your family’s comfort and privacy are my top priorities.
