As parents, we know time moves fast. The little details we swear we’ll never forget—the sound of tiny giggles, the way siblings pile on the couch together, or the bedtime rituals that always end with “one more story”—can fade quicker than we realize. That’s why I designed my “This Is Us” in-home family photography sessions to feel like a true time capsule, capturing not just smiling faces, but the meaningful rhythms of your everyday life.

Capturing the Details That Matter Most

When I plan a session with your family, it’s not about stiff poses or matching outfits. It’s about documenting what makes your family uniquely you.

Do your kids love sprawling on the living room rug with their favorite books? Do you spend Saturday mornings flipping pancakes together? Maybe your home has a corner everyone naturally gravitates to—like the kitchen table or the backyard swing set.

Those small moments are actually the big ones. During our pre-session consultation, I’ll ask thoughtful questions to uncover the routines, quirks, and connections that mean the most to you. This allows me to design a session that reflects your family’s real story.

Turning Daily Life Into Lasting Memories

One of my favorite parts of these sessions is watching how kids light up when they’re paired with a parent in a natural, unscripted way. Maybe it’s the way your child curls up in your lap during story time, or how they help in the garden with dirt-stained hands. These are the interactions that tell the truth about your family’s love—and they’re the images you’ll treasure most as the years go by.

Even the “in-between” moments—like laughter that erupts during a game or the way siblings tease each other in the sweetest way—deserve to be remembered. Years from now, these photographs will feel like stepping back into the heart of your family life.

My Process: From Questionnaire to Session

To make sure your session feels intentional, I have every family fill out a simple pre-session questionnaire. Without giving too much away, I’ll just say—it’s my secret tool for truly getting to know your family.

From there, we’ll plan your session together, choosing activities, routines, and spaces that best reflect your season of life. The result? Photographs that feel meaningful, personal, and truly irreplaceable.

Why a Family Session Is More Than Just Pictures

At the end of the day, my goal is for you to look at your images and feel your family’s love, playfulness, and connection. Not just how you look, but how you live. Because those are the memories worth holding onto forever.
