This will still be here.
The house will be quiet. No shoes kicked off at the door. No laundry that reappears two hours later. Everything will stay just as you left it, and part of you will ache for the days when it didn’t.
That’s why we do this.
To give you something to hold onto. Not just pictures, but memories wrapped in love, connection, and the feeling of being theirs.
So much of what we spend on fades; the appointments, the little luxuries, the things that help us feel pulled together for a moment.
But this is different.
This stays.
This season fades, but the way it felt doesn’t have to
The way your family feels when you're not racing through the day, when you’re all in the same place at the same time, with nowhere else to be. When the laughter comes easy, their hands find yours without thinking, and you can just enjoy being together, fully.
That’s what a session with me is meant to feel like. A quiet chance to be present in what’s real and good right now, while holding on to it for all the days still to come.
And when the days stretch behind you, you’ll have more than a memory. You’ll have something that brings you right back to how it felt.
More than a session
No need to coordinate outfits or spend hours shopping. You’ll have access to timeless, flattering pieces for mothers and children, chosen to feel comfortable, and make you look beautiful on camera.
You don’t have to plan, pose, direct, or hold it all together for everyone else. I’m not just here to take beautiful photos. I’m here to carry part of the weight, so for once, you don’t have to.
These photos are meant to be seen and felt every day. Together, we’ll turn them into heirloom albums and custom-framed pieces that reflect who you are as a family and the season you’re in, right now.
Tell me what this season feels like for you, what you want to remember, what you’re afraid of forgetting. We’ll talk through it all and choose a time that works best for your family here in Raleigh.
Gentle guidance through every step
Before your family session, we’ll connect for a consultation where I’ll help you plan every detail. From choosing a location to styling your family, I’ll guide you through it all. You’ll also have access to my client wardrobe for mothers and children, with pieces that feel like you and photograph beautifully. This is where everything starts to come together
We follow your family’s rhythm. There’s room for movement, cuddles, play, and quiet moments too. If someone needs time to warm up, they’ll have it. You don’t have to pose or ask your kids to behave. I’ll guide you gently so you can just show up, be together, and enjoy each other as you are.
When your images are ready, we’ll sit down together in a virtual meeting. You’ll see your story for the first time, how it looked, how it felt. I’ll help you decide how you want to hold onto it, from framed pieces to heirloom albums.
Your chosen pieces will arrive ready to display, wrapped with care. Not just files to scroll through, but real memories from this family session you can live with every day in your home.
A family session is a chance to pause real life and just enjoy being together, without rushing, without needing to hold it all together, and without anyone asking what’s next.
We’ll spend up to one hour (and more if needed), with space for movement, play, connection, and calm. When you arrive, everything is already taken care of, we’ve talked through your vision, chosen the perfect location, and selected outfits from the client wardrobe if you'd like to use it.
Whether we photograph in your home, outdoors, or in a studio, the session is designed to feel natural and unhurried, centered around what makes your family yours.
Afterward, you’ll view your images in a private gallery, and together we’ll turn them into something lasting, framed, bound, and ready to be lived with for years to come.
$250 creative fee
+ Most clients spend at least $850 on artwork and digital images following their session.

But a photograph will.
It will show them how it felt to be held, to belong, to be so deeply loved in a season you never want to forget.
These years pass quietly and quickly, but what we create together will stay. It will speak when words can’t, and long after the moment is gone, it will still be telling the story of your love.
