family portraits
As a parent, I know that our children grow so quickly.
With custom lifestyle family portrait sessions, I capture the tenderness and the nostalgia of where your family is at this moment in time.
I also provide expert guidance for wardrobe choices and location suggestions, so we can create tender images that are timeless and elegant.
the process
My family sessions are relaxed, timeless, and deeply emotive. No forced smiles: all the joy and authenticity of where your family and children are at this precious moment in time.
I make the family portrait process smooth, easy, and laid-back for your whole family. (Don’t worry, we’ll get the smiles, too. But we’ll do it in a way that feels relaxed and effortless!)
I’m your guide here. In the evening-dark
morning streets, I point and name.
Look, the sycamores, their mottled
paint-by-number bark. Look, the leaves rusting and crisping at the edges.
I walk through Schiller Park with you
on my chest. Stars smolder well
into daylight. Look, the pond, the ducks,
the dogs paddling after their prized sticks.
Fall is when the only things you know
because I’ve named them / begin to end. Soon I’ll have another
season to offer you: frost soft
on the window and a porthole
sighed there, ice sleeving the bare
grey branches. The first time you see
something die, you won’t know it might
come back. I’m desperate for you
to love the world because I brought you here.

The possibilities are endless! In-home sessions are incredibly special because our personal spaces carry so much meaning and nostalgia— and if we’re shooting indoors, we don’t have to work around the weather!
I also have a wide list of outdoor locations throughout the Denver/ Boulder area. Please keep in mind that many public locations require permits, which will need to be obtained in advance.
I also love to travel, and I’m always delighted for the chance to shoot somewhere new!
-
Not to worry! Once your session is booked, you’ll receive a detailed clothing guide, with examples, suggestions, and commonly forgotten items.
Most importantly, wear what you and your family are comfortable in and that feels like YOU!
I’m happy to go over outfit options with you as well.

Real life is messy and chaotic and tender and beautiful, and I’m here for all of it.
My family sessions are designed to be relaxed and low-pressure, with time built in for snacks, bathroom breaks, and enough time for little ones to emotionally re-calibrate if needed.
