Family Portrait Photography
Capturing Memories
With the ones you love most
I believe in capturing your family's true personalities and making memories during your photo session.
My families always have fun, playing games, and genuinely smiling during our time together, which gives you the happiest photos to cherish for a lifetime.
What to expect during your family photo session.
An all-inclusive family photo experience.
I love working with families so much that I warn all of my families - I will become an adopted member of your family!
What does this mean for you? I fall in love with your family, one shutter click at a time. The memories we are creating, we create together.
My sessions are all-inclusive, meaning you receive every great photo that we take together, professionally edited and ready for print or web use.
Planning makes perfect.
One of my favorite things about being a photographer is helping my clients plan their sessions. I love to provide location and outfit recommendations that help you bring your dream session to life.
I've been photographing Colorado Springs families for several years, so I know lots of great spots, how to get the best light at these locations, and I always have a back up in case of weather. If you're overwhelmed with planning a session, I'm your gal!
Replace stress with fun!
Your family session is about your family. I want you to kick back, relax, and have fun! As a mom (or dad!) you're probably always thinking about whether every hair is in the right place or when the next meltdown might be. I'm here to tell you -- that's normal! And, I'm here to take that stress away from you.
During my family sessions, I plan time for the classic, posed photos that you'll use for your holiday cards. We won't miss those shots, but we'll make them even better because they'll be surrounded with candid memories that we will create. Throughout your session, I will strategically plan breaks and break-out games that will keep your kids laughing and cooperating -- whether they're two years old or twenty. My goal is to make sure everyone in the family has a blast!

This depends on the session that you book! A mini session will typically receive 10 photos, a Petite session will include 20 photos, a Signature session will receive 50 photos, and an Heirloom session will receive 110+ photos.
What should I wear?
I get this question all the time! Please visit the Helpful Tips section of my blog for a few ideas. While we are planning your session, I will work with you one-on-one to send outfit recommendations and help you pair everything together based on the time of year, location, and what your dream session looks like.
What locations do you shoot at?
I am based in Colorado Springs, and I shoot at outdoor locations all around the city and surrounding area. While we are planning your session, I will help you with a list of location recommendations based on your family and your dream session. Note: a travel fee will apply for any sessions outside of a 50 mile radius of Colorado Springs.
Did you know I also travel? Keep an eye on my Travel Dates on my About page to avoid travel fees. Common locations include: Denver CO, St. Louis MO, and Bellingham WA. Have a different location in mind? Reach out!
