Time moves quickly when it comes to your family.

Philadelphia Family Photographer

Natural and timeless

Family portraits aren’t just about decorating the walls—they’re about freezing time, holding onto the joy and love that fill your life, even in the busiest seasons. With a relaxed and playful atmosphere, I create elevated imagery to tell your story authentically, so you can hold onto the laughter, hugs, and everyday magic long after the toys are put away and the house quiets down.

After chasing a toddler around the house all day, it helps to have a sweet photo to look at.

Book Your Session

We’ll start with a pre-session consultation where I can get to know your family and understand your vision. With my years of experience capturing families, I’ll guide you through the session—whether at home or in a favorite outdoor spot—with playful prompts and movement to bring out your genuine joy and laughter. We'll capture a mix of candid and gently posed shots that feel authentic and natural so you can relax and focus on enjoying this time together,

Afterward, we’ll work together to choose your favorite images and design custom artwork to display in your home that you'll cherish for many years to come.

FAQs

How long will our family session last?

Outdoor sessions typically last 45 minutes to an hour. If your family is tapped out before then and I feel we have enough images, it’s okay to end early. I generally set aside 90 minutes for at-home indoor sessions as they take a little longer to get set up.

What if I need to cancel or reschedule?

I totally get it, life happens! For unexpected events like sickness or family emergencies, I allow one reschedule.

What if it rains?

If there's a good chance of rain or if the weather is unsafe, we can reschedule and your payment will go towards a future date.

How long until we receive our photos?

Your gallery will be delivered via your email within 3 weeks of your session date. 


Do you travel?

Yes! I travel to family sessions throughout the South Jersey, Philadelphia, Mainline, Jersey shore, and northern Delaware areas. For destinations beyond these areas, please inquire for a custom quote.
