Family Photography
Minneapolis family photographer, capturing authentic moments that reflect true emotions and unique stories.
In a world that moves fast, family photography offers a moment to pause and appreciate the relationships that matter most.
Whether it's the milestones of a child's development or the special everyday moments, family photos are the perfect visual narrative of your life together and I would love to capture your family in this season of your life!
I take a gentle and relaxed approach to Family Photography, meeting each family where they are and ensuring everyone feels comfortable and at ease. I lead with prompts over poses to capture my clients true selves. I feel that posing can sometimes feel intimidating and prompts loosen the mood and allow the real emotions to shine!
With my background as a preschool teacher, I’ve developed a knack for connecting with children and know all the fun, playful ways to bring out genuine smiles, even from the shyest little ones. As a family photographer, my goal is to create a stress-free experience where families can simply enjoy the moment, and the final gallery of photographs reflect the true joy of being together!

Storytelling Session
The storytelling session is a slower paced, documentary style session. For the majority of our time your family will simply just be interacting with each other and I'll capture the sweet moments along the way! The “posing” for these sessions are typically candid (with a few posed in-between if you want) and mostly led by your family interacting with each other, but if you would still like me to give you some direction with prompts I can absolutely do that!
To make this session even more special, consider planning an activity that encourages connection. Some ideas are a stroll through a park or along a lake, grabbing ice cream at your favorite local spot, building blanket forts in your pajamas, baking together on a Sunday morning, trip to the apple orchard, or simply playing in your backyard or walking around your neighborhood. It can really be anything that feels special to your family!
The storytelling session is best for families that would like a slower paced session and want a more candid/documentary vibe. If candid isn’t your thing, but you are interested in the longer 40 minute session and a more “posed” vibe that’s cool too!

Short and Sweet Session
The short and sweet session is perfect for families that would like to simply capture those sweet details that change so quickly! Each session lasts 20 minutes which is the perfect length for those with older kids, but they can also be great for those with littles that have a shorter attention span!
These sessions are typically faster-paced and might not be the best fit if you have a larger family and want multiple combinations of people/pets captured. If you are interested in a more candid/documentary vibe for your session, but would like the shorter 20 minute session, we can absolutely do that!
What you’ll get:
20 minute session
One location of your choice
20 digital image downloads of your choice with the option to purchase full gallery or additional downloads
Access to a private online gallery & print store
Free high-resolution downloads
Average Investment: $275.00
Extended family session
Extended family sessions are for those who wish to capture multiple generations in one session. These typically include grandparents, cousins, nieces and nephews, adult siblings, your own immediate family, and any other family members you'd like to include. These sessions are typically fast paced with the goal of capturing the full group as well as the individual families within.
What you’ll get:
1 hour session
Full edited gallery (minimum of 60 images)
One location of your choice
Access to a Private Online Gallery & Print Store

If the weather isn’t cooperating for our photoshoot I will reach out and we will work together to schedule a new date!

Yes, pets are also a member of your family! Bringing them is highly encouraged. However, if you don’t think your pet will behave at our session location it may be best to keep them at home. Please use your best judgement. I just ask that you let me know beforehand if you plan to bring a furry friend!

My style is authentic and candid, with gentle guidance and direction. While capturing images I take an honest and relaxed approach focusing on the perfectly imperfect candid moments. This doesn't mean your whole session will be completely candid (unless you want it to be!) as I have a list of poses and prompts I run through and catch those adorable candid moments along the way.
My editing style is warm, but true to color to achieve a timeless and authentic look.

Kids will be kids! It's really easy to get frustrated when kids aren't cooperating for photos, but please relax and let go of the expectations. Maybe it’ll take a bit of extra time, but we will get there and capture some adorable photos and interactions! I recommend bringing along a bag of drinks, snacks, wipes as well as an activity or favorite stuffed animal.
