Lifestyle sessions

No stiff poses. No awkward vibes.

Just you—laughing, loving, growing, and showing up exactly as you are.
Whether it's a cozy in-home maternity session, a steamy golden-hour adventure with your person, or a wild time chasing your little ones in the sand...this is about telling your story in a way that feels effortless and true.

Let’s make some magic out of the everyday.

My mission

I want to know what lights you up. What makes your connection feel sacred. What your love sounds like when it laughs. Whether it’s a quiet morning at home making pancakes, beers on the beach at golden hour, or chasing your little ones barefoot through the backyard—your session should feel like you.

I’ll guide you with intention and care, but the real magic happens when you forget the camera is there and just be. My goal is for you to look at your gallery and say,
"Whoa… that’s actually us."

Because it is.

Let’s document your story—not as it’s supposed to be, but as it is: honest, imperfect, and deeply beautiful.

how the magic happens

1. Let’s Connect

We’ll begin with a video consultation to meet face to face and talk through your vision. I want to hear all about what makes your family, your love, or your connection special.


We’ll talk about what drives your story—the heartbeat of your relationship—and brainstorm session ideas that feel natural and fun (think: ice cream dates, painting in the park, picking up fresh produce and flowers at a farmers market). This is where the magic starts.

2. Secure Your Session

Once we’ve chosen your session length, location, and date, I’ll send over your full booking file—this includes the contract and retainer invoice. Once that’s wrapped up, your date is officially locked in!

From there, we’ll finalize the details together. I’ll send a custom style guide to help you plan your wardrobe and prep with confidence, and we’ll keep things relaxed and collaborative.

3. Shoot Day!

This is where you just show up—with love in your heart and an open mind—and let the moment unfold. I’ll gently guide you throughout, but mostly I’ll give you space to just be together. Laugh, move, cuddle, play—I’ll take care of the rest.

Pro Tips for Families:

  • Make sure the kiddos are fed and well-rested before your session.

  • Bring favorite snacks or little treats to keep things fun and relaxed.

  • Expect some spontaneity—I follow their lead.

  • Embrace the wild, the sandy toes, the giggles, and even the chaos. That’s where the beauty lives.
