what is lifestyle photography?

 

Lifestyle photography can mean different things for different people, but the way I view lifestyle photography is that it is a crossroads between portrait photography and capturing the more candid and authentic side of the story. It's about meeting you as you are, and appreciating your genuine self.

$375

 

Petite family sessions are designed for the beautiful in-between moments, when you want more than a quick mini, but don't need the full-length experience. These sessions are shorter, relaxed, and thoughtfully paced with little ones in mind, giving us just enough time to capture genuine connection without pushing anyone past their limits.


Think playful giggles, quick cuddles, snack breaks if needed, and the kind of movement that lets kids be kids. We'll focus on the heart of your family: those real, joy-filled interactions that make this season so meaningful - without the pressure of a longer session.


Session includes:


  • 30-minute session
  • 30 fully edited digital images
  • Option to purchase additional images, full gallery, and prints
  • Immediate family only; please contact me before booking for any extended family sessions as these have an upcharge of $75
  • Available outdoors, in-home or in-studio

full family session

price: $425

 

We can take posed, smiling pictures with everyone looking at the camera any day we want. But what sets a professional family session apart is how we capture the true memories. The moments of laughter, love, and even the chaos and tough moments. This is life. Real life.


My goal as your family photographer is to take our session one step at a time. Toddler doesn't want to sit still or listen? No problem, let's play a game instead! Baby is fussy? Let's capture the cuddles and soothing. Truly, I am here to capture you and your family just as you are. And we will make something beautiful to look back on.


Session Includes:


  • 45-60 minute connection-focused photography experience
  • 50+ fully edited digital images delivered in an online gallery
  • Your choice of location: outdoors, in-home or studio
  • Personalized styling guidance
  • Location recommendations based on season, lighting, and desired aesthetic
  • Gentle direction and prompts designed to encourage natural interaction
  • Option to purchase heirloom-quality prints, albums, and wall art
  • Immediate family only; please contact me before booking for any extended family sessions as these have an upcharge of $75
