Redmond Oregon Family Photographer. For the Beautifully Real Season You’re In.
You don't need perfectly behaved kids or a family that knows exactly what to do in front of the camera. That's my job. I work with busy, modern families who want photos that feel like them, natural, connected, playful, and full of the little personalities that make their family theirs. I'll guide you when you need it, give your kids room to be themselves, and capture the moments that happen in between. Because someday, you won't just want to remember what everyone looked like. You'll want to remember what this season of your family felt like.
Choose the Story You Want To Tell!
Every family is different and so is what you want to remember.
Maybe you simply need a few beautiful, updated photos of everyone together. Or maybe you want the full story: the sibling dynamics, the way your kids laugh, the snuggles, the chaos, and the moments you didn't even realize I was capturing.
Choose the session that fits what you want to walk away with.
Not sure? The Full Storytelling Session is the experience I recommend for capturing the fullest story of your family right now.

Choose your session type and secure your date with the easy online booking link. A contract and retainer fee are required to book.

Once I receive your booking info we’ll setup a chat to discuss in more detail your hopes, preference, and ideas for your shoot.
03. Shoot
It’s shoot day! Yay! First, relax. This is going to be fun. Come with the mindset that you are going on a adventure (just in coordinating outfits..hee hee). Interact how you normally would if it was a family day and I’m not there.

Maternity sessions will take place at an outdoor location in the Central Oregon area. We’ll work together to choose a location that is comfortable for you and your family and is appropriate for the age of your kiddos. Have a spot your family loves and frequents? That would be perfect! Newborn sessions will take place in the comfort of your home.

The best lighting and my favorite time to shoot is about an hour before sunset. I understand the longer days in the summer and fall make that difficult for littles. If you have younger kiddos an earlier morning session (before 10am) provides great lighting too.

Kids are often standoffish at first…it’s totally normal. I have a ton of tricks up my sleeve to interact and connect with your littles. I let the kids lead. If they don’t want to be held? We let them run ahead. They want to be held the whole time? We get lots of snuggly shots. They’re only happy holding a stick? We roll with it. We’re capturing your family as you are right now, in this season, and trust me you will love that it was captured. And 99% of the time I get natural smiles by the end.

I suggest picking a color palette and then build from there starting with mom’s outfit. For maternity shoots, plan on bringing 2-3 outfits. I’m here to help with styling too. Need help choosing a color palette, have some outfit ideas in mind but want some feedback? Just let me know and we’ll work together to find the perfect outfits. A quick tip…avoid bright colors and busy patterns. If it’s cold incorporate layers and jackets.
