Getting the family organized and together can be, well... hard. Trust me, I know! However, that is no reason to skip out on documenting the beautiful dynamic a family shares.
Whether you are a family of 2 or 25, each family shares a unique connection that deserves to be captured and shared.

Featured Family Galleries
Alexis and her beautiful family got to witness one of the most stunning sunsets I have had the pleasure of photographing. This family was so full of life and had me smiling ear to ear during the entire session.
Even in the short time I got to know them, it was obvious how much love and connection there was between them. I can't wait to continue to document their story!

Baby Holden is one of the most handsome and sweetest little men you could ever meet. He may only be 18 months old, but he already has all of the ladies in his life wrapped around his little finger.
I have had the wonderful pleasure of working with this sweet little boy and his parents since his Fresh 48 hospital photos and continue to photograph each new milestone for this growing family to this day.

The condiffs
This fun, energetic, and spunky family had me laughing and smiling the entire time. While working with them it was obvious just how much love was shared between the four of them.
The little girls definitely ran the show, taking the latter half of the session just to get pictures of them in crazy poses with silly faces.

The Family Experience
I believe in sessions that capture movement and emotion, not stiff poses. I don't just copy and paste my sessions, I work with each family to create a unique and personalized gallery that fully encapsulates their personality and dynamic. During our time together there will be games, races, and of course some silly faces. If you are not having fun and laughing then I have failed. My goal is to make this a fun family outing, not just a chore to check off your todo list!
Art that showcases your family's true personality
I want to know more! To me there is no such thing as too much information. I want you to feel free to share as much or as little information as you are comfortable with. Let's chat: I want to get to know YOU!
Whether this is your first photoshoot or you have one every year, there is never a bad time to reach out to me about making your family photoshoot dream a reality.
1. Say Hello
So you are ready to make this thing official and choose me as your photographer? I'm so excited! Next step is to get you in my books with your session date and time. Outdoor sessions are best when the sun is low in the sky, so we will shoot for this window of time.
Once we have those details ironed out I will send you my contract where we can get into the nitty gritty. Last step to solidify our relationship is to pay the session fee as outlined in the contract. Then that's it! You have officially hired me as your photographer!
2. lets book it
Now comes the fun part, lets make your session personalized! Whether you want to hop on a quick phone call with me or chat over email, I want you to tell me what you envision for your photos. Lets chat about who all will be there, location, and specific images you want!
From here I will start personally designing your session. Just like every family is unique and different, your photos should be treated the same.
3. Planning it
It's finally the big day, photo day! After talking to you and creating the perfect session centered around your desires and personal style it is time to put it all together. A week before our scheduled session I will send you my full prep guide so you will be prepared and know what to expect.
My family sessions typically last 45 minutes, but don't worry! We will keep things fun and energetic so the littles don't get too bored!
4. Your Session
I know you are anxious to see your photos as soon as possible and I want to get them to you as quickly as I can. Within a few days of your session I will send you one sneak peek photo while I am working to complete your gallery. Please allow me 10 business days to fully edit your images and deliver them to you.
Final galleries will be sent as an invite to the email you provided when booking your session. From there you can choose the package you want then of course order any prints or wall art to decorate your home with!

The Investment Details
Kristen was an absolute delight to work with! She provided the maternity dress, and made me feel beautiful! The pictures turned out breathtaking! I highly recommend her.
Maternity Session
I am so in love with our newborn photos, Kristen has such patience and a calming presence which is just what you need for newborns.
Motherhood session
Amazing photographer! We have used Kristen for engagement, wedding, newborn, family, and every photo in between. Our expectations are not only met, but exceeded every single time! Her patience and commitment to get the perfect photo is impressive. She can even manage to get a rowdy toddler to somehow cooperate and look at the camera for family photos.
Highly HIGHLY recommend!
