You may be considering if I'm the right one to capture your family's story, and I just want you to know that
That is why family photography is not only a luxury, but so incredibly valuable - preserving your dearest memories both to be enjoyed now and for generations to come. Studies show its incredibly beneficial for children to grow up seeing themselves in family photos around their home - it boosts their confidence, providing a sense of belonging and trust that they have a strong foundation to come home to.
We're not only documenting for the family albums your grandchildren will hold, but we're creating with your story to enrich your life now & enjoy it to the full.

If you're anything like me, your family is your greatest treasure. The reason you wake up every day feeling like a rich man (as you open your windows and shimmy across the kitchen floor with your morning cup of joe - cue Fiddler on the Roof). And you recognize that your family will never again be in the exact same stage as you are now, your kids at this age, the sweet routines, their favorite toys, your daily rhythms and the way you banter - even a year from now it will all look different. The good ole days are happening as we speak.
From start to finish, this experience was incredible. Madyson came all the way out to our location and literally tromped around in the woods with us without hesitation. From the moment we started, she brought such a calm, joyful, and encouraging energy that immediately put us at ease.
She was SO patient with our kids, never rushed them, and somehow made the whole session feel fun and natural instead of stressful. We felt completely comfortable just being ourselves, and that made all the difference...
My style is considered lifestyle - with a blend of documentary and editorial. At the heart of documentary photography is authenticity, a snapshot of the moment exactly as it was, exactly as you were.
In addition to simply documenting - I believe in creative collaboration. An artful storytelling of your days in the season you're in. I have the intuition to know when to be silent, letting a moment unfold naturally, and when to offer a prompt that turns an ordinary moment into something really fun to look back on. Most of my images are true candids, and I also enjoy curating moments that add an artistic flair to your album - little pieces of novelty you may not otherwise capture in your day to day.
My focus during each session is fostering an environment of ease and connection, and offering a simple invitation to step into the most present, carefree, loving and joyful version of you. Many of my clients find their experience of taking photos surprisingly easy, relaxed, just as fun as actually receiving their photos.
I practice the art of noticing, of enhancing what is meaningful to you, while staying attune to your family's personality, the mood of the moment, and opportunities to embrace the chaos that leads to playfulness & laughter & the wonderful imperfection that is a much more accurate depiction of your days. This ensures that you not only have a collection of photographs that feel true to you, but also a unique work of natural magic you never imagined you'd find your family living inside.
... When we received our photos, my first impression was honestly emotional. They were creative and artistic, but still so us. Nothing felt forced or posed- just a true, beautiful representation of the stage of life we’re in right now. She captured real connection, real moments, and memories that
