family photographer
natural, relaxed and fun
A session with me is more than just refreshing your family photos. You’re setting aside some time to be with your family, fully devoted to each other. Connected, loving, laughing and having fun!
Our session might only last an hour or so, but the moments we create will last forever. You’re the family historian, and a family photography session is your way to preserve everything you love about your family, exactly as they are now, to be remembered 20, 50 or even 100 years from now!
You have two options to book a family session.
the long story
$700 includes your choice of 20 images to keep (plus the option to upgrade later if you want).
A slow, unhurried photography experience designed to capture your family’s story in a deeply natural and heartfelt way. These sessions are relaxed and connection-led, allowing real moments to unfold without pressure — creating images filled with genuine emotion and the unique energy of your family as you are right now.
With generous time to settle in and follow your family’s rhythm, sessions can take place in your home, outdoors at sunset, or in my natural light studio. Whether welcoming a new baby, documenting a growing family, or gathering loved ones together, THE SHORT STORY offers the space to preserve this season with depth and intention.

the short story
$400 includes your choice of 10 images to keep (plus the option to upgrade later if you want).
A thoughtfully pared-back photography experience designed to capture the heart of your family. Still intentional and meaningful, these sessions focus on genuine connection and natural moments — creating beautiful images that feel relaxed and true, just in a simpler, lighter way.
Perfect for immediate families wanting something uncomplicated and beautiful, THE SHORT STORY takes place either in your home, outdoors at sunset, or in my natural light studio. With just enough time to settle in and capture real connection, it’s an ideal way to preserve this season without the commitment of a full-length session.
SHORT STORY sessions are not available on weekends, and locations outside 30 minutes travel from Ocean Grove may incur a small travel fee.

FAQ

Yes, that’s when the magic happens. This means sessions can be after bedtime during the warmer months, but that hour before sunset is truly the most beautiful time of the day for photographs. Even if it’s cloudy! Yep, sunsets are even better with clouds, all we need is a little break in the clouds for the whole sky to light up! I offer sunset sessions at the most scenic beach locations, I promise, one late night will be worth it. Plus, I’ve got a bunch of tips to help the kiddos cope with an evening session in my Prep Guide.

Beautiful photographs can be made in any kind of weather, but I understand that there are some downsides to being photographed in the pouring rain or the freezing cold. I can and do reschedule sessions for inclement weather but am also happy to use your home if sticking to the schedule is a priority. There is no fee to reschedule your session due to bad weather.

Don’t stress if your child isn’t behaving the way you expected. Trust the process and let things unfold naturally. I totally get it though, sometimes the wheels fall off and it can get tricky, so I’ve covered some great ways to help the session go smoothly in my Prep Guide.

Grandparents, Aunts, Uncles, cousins, best friends and everyone in between… I love big families!
If you’re happy to keep your session to the same duration (around 60-90 minutes) then there’s no extra charge to include more people. However, just keep in mind that more people will generally take more time to coordinate and so there will be less actual photographing time overall, and possibly less photos than you would have otherwise received if it was just your immediately family.
If you’d like more coverage time so we can capture more photos, then that’s totally doable too! I charge a small fee on top of the original session price. Be sure to let me know in advance how many adults and children and I will send you a quote. I generally ask for an extra $100 for every 30 additional minutes we add to your session.
