There is no better time than now.

The day my first son was born, my grandfather told me, “Today, you are changing diapers, and in a blink, you'll be watching them graduate High School.” He was right—the time with our kids flies by.

I know what it's like to make excuses—I'll wait till next year when I lose a few pounds or after my son gets his braces off. But then the time comes, and there are only new excuses—before you know it, the youngest has grown three inches, and now the daughter's in braces. Then, one day, suddenly, you’re planning college visits. It happens fast, get the photos.

Making photographs for families is more than just a Christmas Card; it’s about celebrating connection and creating an experience you’ll never forget. No one ever regrets taking the time to get professional photographs, but so many wish they had. I know your time is valuable, and being in front of the camera takes work. I help my clients keep the process simple. Let’s document the moments that tell your story—creating real, meaningful photographs you’ll love today and cherish always.

"I love seeing our gallery of images every year - such a pleasure—it brings tears to my eyes!”

—Bernice Lake

Let’s work together.

Reserve your date.

A quick phone call is the best way to get a feel for what it’s like to work with me. After that, I’ll email all the information you’ll need, including investment info and how to book. With a $300 session fee and a signed portrait agreement, we’ll get you on the calendar.

The Photo Session.

A portrait session is an experience you will never forget. That’s why I love relaxed sessions that feel good. We’ll work together to find just the right location—somewhere meaningful to you. By the day of your session, you’ll be ready to relax and have a good time.

The Photographs.

After your session, you’ll receive a gallery slideshow of about 40 photos. You’ll select a collection (starting at $795), including a custom mix of image files and printed products. Most clients love an album—that’s why it’s included in my top collection.
