Family Photography

these are the good ole days.

Capturing the now, because

The hectic schedules. Their priceless innocence. The way they still reach for your hand. Your family, gathered under one roof in the beautiful chaos of everyday life.

These are the moments you’ll want to remember.

Because someday, the schedules will slow down. The house will get quieter. And those little hands won’t reach for yours quite as often.

Capture the now because these are the good old days.

We'll chase some sunshine, have some fun, and make photographs you'll love looking back on for years to come.

FAQs

What ages do you photograph?

All ages, all families! Everyone is welcome and celebrated here.

What types of family shoots are your favorite?!

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE a non-traditional family photoshoot that tells your family’s story. Whether it’s at your family’s lakehouse or out for ice-cream at your go-to spot, I LOVE thinking outside of the box for family photos and coming up with locations that are authentic to your family.

Do you host mini sessions?

Right now I am not offering mini shoots, but I hope to incorporate them back into my schedule when I have time.

How do I book a session?

Right now the only way to book a family photo session is to reach out to me directly and pitch your idea! I have very limited space for family shoots in my schedule and am only taking on a few per quarter. HOWEVER, if you have an amazing idea, please reach out! I love capturing families in locations that are very “outside of the box”.

What should we wear?

After you book, I’ll prep you with a whole style guide that has tips and tricks on what to wear and how to prepare.

When will we receive our photos?

I pride myself in getting photos back as soon as possible because I know as a mom, that’s how I want my photo experience to be. I’m FAST and that’s something I’m really proud of and something that sets me apart from my competition. You'll receive your proof gallery no more than 1 week (!!!) after your session. Then, you'll be able to see your images and choose your favorites. From there, you can order the photographs and artwork you love.

Do you offer prints and artwork?

Absolutely.

I'm a big believer that photographs are meant to be seen, not just buried in a camera roll. I offer beautiful printed artwork so you can actually enjoy these photographs in your home, but you can also just download the files and print your images wherever you wish.

Where are you based and do you travel?

I'm based in the Chicago area and host pop-ups at businesses all over the Chicagoland area (and beyond!!). I’m totally up to travel for a pop-up. Does your business want to host a black and white portrait pop-up? Please reach out because I’d love to chat!

Still have a question?

There are no dumb questions. Seriously.

If you didn't find what you were looking for here, just ask. I'm happy to help. Let's chat!
