My style and your experience…
Every session is customized and unique to each client. I have worked with hundreds of families, navigating every dynamic from the boundless energy of toddlers to the quiet grace of multi-generational portraits. As a mother of three, I have mastered the art of patience and connection; I know exactly how to engage with children to bring out their true personalities, ensuring the experience is joyful rather than a chore. My style is a blend of refined elegance and emotive storytelling; while I ensure everyone is perfectly posed for a timeless family portrait, I also prioritize those “in-between” moments, the shared glances that reveal your family’s unique bond. My decade of experience allows me to anticipate those fleeting expressions of love, giving you the peace of mind that your family’s legacy is in expert hands. I am not just capturing what your family looks like—I am capturing how it feels to be part of it.
Together we will design a session perfect for you and create beautiful images that you’ll treasure for a lifetime & proudly display in your home. This is your visual legacy — your images and the artwork from your session will become your family heirlooms that your children will cherish and pass down through the generations.
If you dream of specific season, please send me your desired sessions and I will do my best to accommodate you.

Together we will create beautiful, custom artwork you’ll want to have displayed in your home as art – and kept as keepsakes to treasure for a lifetime. Your photographs will become your family heirlooms that your children will treasure and pass down through the generations.
WHAT TO EXPECT
01.
Pre-session planning
I’m so honored to document this time for you. Once you’ve booked your session, we’ll dive into the planning together—starting with a styling questionnaire and a session prep guide so you know exactly what to expect. All sessions are customized for each client. A phone or Zoom consultation can be scheduled to get to know each other and let me tell you what specials can be included in your session. We’ll collaborate every step of the way to create images that feel like a true reflection of your journey.
02.
Photo session day
We’ll meet at the studio or a chosen outdoor location to begin documenting your family’s story. To ensure a seamless experience, you will have full access to my curated studio wardrobe, featuring timeless pieces for women and children that photograph beautifully. My goal is for everyone to feel completely relaxed so we can capture the genuine, unscripted moments that define your bond. Whether your children are toddlers or teens, we will work together to create an effortless experience and portraits you’ll treasure.
03.
reveal & Ordering
After your session, I carefully curate your gallery, selecting only the most beautiful moments. A few days after your session, we will meet again (in person or via zoom) for your image reveal and you’ll select your favorite images. During this appointment, we will also design your custom artwork and prints. There is no minimum order requirement; I simply want you to choose the pieces you truly love. For your convenience, flexible payment plans are available to help you invest in the heirlooms your family will cherish forever.
04.
the finished art
Once your products are completed, I’ll arrange delivery and installation if required. Each piece is carefully inspected to ensure its perfect before delivery. Wall art & folio boxes are handmade in Italy. Custom products can take anywhere from 4-10 weeks to complete after your reveal session.
