Session Options

Let me give you the lowdown on what a natural light family photo session with me looks like – it's all about capturing those real, unfiltered moments that make your family uniquely yours. I meet families all over the Main Line and Philadelphia area and I have discovered what works! As a fellow mom, I totally get that kids (and grown-ups too!) aren't always keen on sitting still and giving the camera their best cheesy grin. So, let's keep it easy-breezy.

I'm all about facilitating genuine interactions that showcase the beautiful connections within your family. While we can sprinkle in some more traditional shots, there's zero pressure for everyone to be perfectly posed. I want your kids to be themselves – giggles, wiggles, and all. It's not about picture-perfect, it's about authentically-you-perfect.

Think of our session as a relaxed, fun time where the real beauty unfolds naturally. So kick back, be yourselves, and let's create some picture-perfect memories together.

Sensory Friendly Sessions

I believe that every child deserves to have their special moments captured in a way that respects and understands their unique needs. I am delighted to offer sensory-friendly photography sessions specially designed for kids with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and other similar needs. Please reach out if this is something you are interested in having me plan for your session.  


I totally get it – family life is a whirlwind of precious moments, and I'm here to capture every bit of that magic. If you choose a Small Moments Session, my focus will be telling your family's story through candid snapshots, focusing on those real, unplanned moments that make your crew uniquely yours. Our mission is to freeze those genuine family vibes – the bedtime stories, the kitchen chaos, the impromptu dance parties. We want you to look back at these photos and feel the warmth of your family's everyday life, not just see it. Sure, we can do the posed pics, but the heart of our sessions lies in the moments between the poses. As your little ones grow, we want them to look back and remember the cozy, normal days – messy hair, mismatched socks, and all. Instead of planning some coordinated outfits and heading out to Valley Forge for family photos, let's hang out at your kitchen table and carve pumpkins, bake cookies at the kitchen counter, play in your backyard, or read some stories on the couch.

If you're ready to capture the real, raw beauty of your family, I'm here for it! Let's create a collection of memories that screams 'you.' Reach out, and let's make some photo magic together.

Picture this: it's just you, your adorable little one, and the soft, natural glow of your home. No bright flashes, just the warm, tender moments that define the beauty of parenthood. Our focus is on capturing genuine love, joy, and connection in a cozy and intimate setting. We focus on the pure, unfiltered essence of your baby, from those sleepy snuggles to the tiny fingers and toes that steal your heart. I also believe in the beauty of natural poses. No cliché setups with lots of props that take away from the authenticity of the moment. Instead, we aim to capture the pure, unfiltered essence of your baby, especially when cradled in the loving arms of their parents. Because, let's be real, baby snuggles in your arms are simply the best!

This session is all about celebrating your family's unique journey.
