The days are long but the years are short.

Everyone will tell you, and you’ll get sick of hearing it, but it’s true: the days and years pass too quickly. And those times will never come back; they’ll never be this age again. Document your days as the years pass because once they’re gone, they’re gone.

What’s Included?

Family Prep Guide

Prepping everyone for family sessions is a lot of work — believe me, I know! I have an in-depth prep guide to help with everything from how to talk to your kids about getting photos taken to what colours look best in what seasons and everything inbetween!

Styling Help

I use Style and Select to help you style every member of your family so everyone looks their best! You can either purchase pieces through Style and Select or take inspiration from it and go to the thrift store or your own closet!

Albums, Film, Video

Fine art albums, film photos, and Super 8 video is available as an add-on to any full session (except mini sessions).

My Promises to You

We’ll have fun

Getting photos taken is supposed to be fun, right?! You love your kids and deserve to have that love captured! They’re never going to be this age again and it’s so important to remember their lives on film.

You’ll get all the best photos

Some photographers put a cap on how many images you get — I don’t. You get all the best images, edited in a beautiful, airy, vibrant, true-to-life style in both colour and timeless black and white. I also offer 35mm film and Super 8 film video coverage so you can remember your day in a romantic, vintage style.

These are your memories, and you deserve to relive every second.

I’m there every step of the way

From the second you send an email, I’m there to help plan your entire session. Want someone to pick out outfits for you? I got you. Need some tips on prepping the kids? I know how to talk so little kids will listen.

The best locations and best lighting

Whether you’re up with the sun or sleep in, I’ll choose the best locations for the best lighting so you all look amazing. We’ll also have tons of room to run and play so everyone stays engaged. I believe in using locations to tell stories and choosing one that fits your family’s vibe.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you remember sitting down with your friends and their parents would embarass them by flipping through the family photo albums? Remember the look of film in those photos? There’s a timelessness to film that is unlike any other, and my style effortlessly replicates that feeling so you and your family will always have that nostalgic feel to your memories.

Let me reframe that: do you like when someone is giving you lots of directions? I know I don’t! My family sessions are play-based, meaning we play lots of games to get those big smiles and belly laughs. There’s no complicated posing directions here — everything is simple and emphasizes your love and connection.

Is water wet? Absolutely! I travel all over Montana and the Pacific Northwest (where I lived for 12 years and know inside and out). I return to the PNW at least twice per year to see my families and would love to meet you! Want to bring me someone further out? Send me an email!

For full family sessions, expect about a four week turnaround time. Mini session clients can expect their images in about three weeks.

I have more answers! Send me a message and we’ll chat.
