Your family's story is beautifully unscripted—the little giggles, the quiet snuggles, the fleeting in-between moments that often go unnoticed. My approach to my family photo sessions is rooted in storytelling, blending documentary and editorial styles to create imagery that feels natural, emotive, and timeless.
St. Augustine
Family Photographer
I believe that the best photos aren’t posed; they’re felt. They capture the connection, the chaos, and the love that makes your family unique, and shows that raw season that you're in. Whether it’s the way your toddler clings to your hand, the sleepy newborn sighs, or the laughter-filled moments between siblings, these are the details that deserve to be remembered.
With a collaborative approach, I take the time to get to know your family, with a detailed questionnaire. This allows me to get an idea of who your family is, what you like to do together, and what you envision for your family session. I then send you a detailed prep guide that goes over locations, styling, and how your session with me will run. We can chat about any ideas or questions you have about creating the best family photo session experience.

Frequently Asked Questions
While most clients I serve are local to Jacksonville, Fl- I am willing to travel up to 2 hours for an additional travel fee of $50 per hour!
Do you travel?
This is a great question and an important one. My approach to sessions are very documentary. I like to artfully prompt and pose my families with movement. Don't get me wrong, sometimes a part of documentary sessions are looking at the camera and smiling because that is a natural thing to do, but most sessions are spent hanging out with your loved ones, cuddling and playing with one another, and really allowing the kids to lead the way. Especially if you have young littles, you will be highly disappointed if you have high expectations of them standing still and smiling at the camera. This creates a lot of stress on mama. Being in this season of having young ones, my approach takes the stress off and creates beautiful memories that are genuine to the season and the moments. If posed family images are what you're looking for, we may not be a good fit.
WILL YOU POSE US?
I do offer heavy styling assistance and guidance if wanted! I recommend booking enough in advance so that we can talk about your vision and styling the family. Location/wardrobe/planning all play a big role and heavily rely upon another in the outcome of your final images. But don't stress, I am here along the way to help with it all!
Do you offer styling?
Absolutely! In fact, I strongly encourage it. It really brings out the natural emotions, and comfortability of the session. Love ice cream? Let's have your session at an ice cream shop. Love playing sports? Let's have your session on a field and play soccer or football. Just love being at the beach? Let's have your session at the beach! Just want a relaxed session at any location or at home? I am all about artfully documenting your family, and if you have a vision for your session, we will make it happen!
can i plan a session around something my family loves to do?
Yes, if the family dog responds well to others in public, and the location allows for them, you can absolutely bring your dog. I recommend bringing another person who won't be involved in the session to help watch the dog if you want images without them.
