I think most of us are guilty of putting off family photos.

Did you notice the image? That was taken 3 years ago. I’ve had another kid since then (lol yikes). I should take my own advice, but honestly, there’s always something going on. I tell myself we’ll wait until life settles down a bit but then somehow another year has flown by.

We’re all in the same boat. I’m a mom of three and my husband is in the military. We know a lot about deployments, moving, training cycles… We also know how easy it is to assume we’ll remember the little things because they feel so familiar while we're living them.

That’s a big part of why I photograph families. I want to make it easier for you to be in the photographs with your kids. After 26 years behind the camera and having kids of my own, I am not unfamiliar with chaos and big feelings. I can find good light almost anywhere and give you enough direction to feel comfortable without turning your session into a performance.

Because someday, when the house is quieter and your kids have grown, having these photographs to look back on will matter a whole lot more than finding the perfect time to take them.
