FAQ
Is this really for us?
In life it can be so easy to remember to photograph the big moments - the birthday, the holiday, family visits and vacations - but what the magical (and not so magical) moments of everyday life?
By taking a natural approach to family photography I am able to relieve the stress and frustration that is very common with getting a family together for formal portraits. My sessions work great for people that do not like to pose or dressing up for pictures. My sessions are for those that love the beauty of everyday life. The authentic moments that happen everyday.
By doing sessions in the home I am able to get pictures where your family is the most comfortable. Where life happens, the good the bad and sometimes the tears - but that is ALL good stuff. It is life and life is beautiful.
It is very important for parents to be in pictures; parents that are comfortable with themselves play a huge part as positive role models for their kids. These pictures, with YOU in them, will be priceless keepsakes for your kids when they are older.

My kids can be a handful, is that going to be okay?
As a mother of 3 and a grandmother of 3, I get it. Trust me on this one, it's totally okay to have them climbing the walls. Isn't this one of the reasons you are thinking about a session with me? Kids don't like to set still, they like to be social, pushing them into sitting stiff for a formal photo session can be stressful for you and them.
Just so that you know - I will take photos of whatever happens if you leave the kids alone with me in a room and I mean whatever happens. I will only intervene if someone might get hurt, otherwise they could be drawing on the wall, pulling out all the clothes in the closet or even cutting of all the hair on a doll..... it will be photographed and not stopped.

Do you put photo's from all of your sessions on your blog or on social media?
I publish from almost all of sessions, yes. More than likely a handful of your images will end up in my online portfolio or on social media. However, I would never post anything that would harm the family in anyway. I will honor requests to keep specific types of pictures private.
Why are so many of your images Black-and-white?
Black and white is classic and timeless. It emphasizes the emotions and draws your eye into the subject and the scene of what is happening. You want to remember the memories not the color that was in fashion during that time. Most of my work is black and white with a splash of color here and there.
How do we prepare for a session with you?
I'm coming to you to capture your life - the magical, the messy, the moments that you might not think are worthy of a picture. There is no need to clean or dress up. Be you!
It so important just to let the process happen, to capture everything that is a part of your life right now. Being perfect is boring and no one really is..... be authentic and the love will shine thru.
Real life is welcome and embraced with my sessions. Whatever happens during your day, all of it worth documenting for you and your kids to look back on later in life.
