Love, connection and a little bit of chaos
I get it, you're a mom with a lot on your plate. You try your best to get your family in front of a camera once a year for update family photos, but it's stressful. Planning outfits, managing attitudes, getting everyone ready, not to mention yourself... what if it didn't have to be that way?
What if it felt fun and you actually enjoyed the experience with you family?
I provide my clients with a full service, low stress photography experience.
Session planning, access to my client closet and hair and makeup for Mom are all included!
As a mom to 2 young children I am very familiar with the beautiful chaos children bring to a photo session. My focus during family sessions is the connection between your family, to encourage this I play lots of games and keep things moving. My goal is to capture genuine interactions and smiles during candid moments. Allowing a full hour for the session gives us time for this to unfold naturally. Part of the planning process focusing on your children, their personalities, likes/dislikes and how to best approach the session to keep them as engaged as possible!
Following our session together, we will meet again virtually for your gallery reveal ordering appointment. My job is not complete until you have something to show for your experience. Whether you choose a custom gallery wall to enjoy everyday or a heirloom album to pass down to your kids,
I am here to help you preserve your family's memories!

Last fall was a beautiful blur—sessions full of movement, connection, and moments already slipping into memory 🍂
Now it’s January. As I write this my six-week-old is asleep on my chest and my days are measured in a cycle of naps and feeds. Time feels both endless and impossibly fast ✨
My calendar is filling for spring, but today I’ll sit right here, soaking in my baby boy 💙 because tomorrow he’ll be a little bigger, and this moment will already belong to the past. Time is precious like that 💫

Happy New Year ✨ Welcoming 2026 and celebrating one month with our sweet Hayes 🤍
Personally 2025 was a crazy year for our family. It simultaneously held loss, change and great joy. We had to say goodbye to my mother-in-law and our family dog 💔 We also moved into our forever home, and ended the year welcoming the most special gift, our third baby 🥰
Hoping 2026 is quieter on the home front because we’re laying the foundation for something BIG coming to PLS Photography! Stay tuned 👀
