Your session will feel a lot less like a formal photo shoot and more like... just hanging out with your family—while I quietly document it all.

I’ll arrive a few minutes before our scheduled start time to say hello, get to know everyone (including pets!), and help everyone ease into things. These first few moments are all about breaking the ice and making sure you feel totally comfortable. If you're still getting ready, no stress—some of the most beautiful moments happen in those in-between, unposed times.

Once we start, I’ll gently guide you when needed, but mostly I’ll let your family interact naturally. I’ll be there to blend in, not take over. You’ll play, cuddle, snack, laugh, chase, snuggle—whatever feels real to you in that moment. I’ll quietly observe and photograph it all, always looking for those little glances, giggles, and real-life magic.

You won’t be asked to look at the camera constantly. This is about capturing connection, not perfection. The goal? Photos that feel like you—genuine, relaxed, and full of heart.
