One of the biggest compliments I have ever received when leaving a session was from 10 year old Jacob. When we finished our session he said “Oh no, It’s over already?!?!”

My family photo sessions are laid back and easy. I will walk you through the entire session, moment by moment, and let you know exactly what I need. All you have to do is sit back and enjoy a little bit of laughter with your family.

Photo Session FAQ’s

In the photography world we use the term “Golden Hour”. This refers to the time of day where the sun is just about to dib below that horizon. Golden Hour gives great light that is not only golden, but a little softer.
Please feel free to let me know if a different time of day works better for you. We can definitely shoot earlier if needed.
In Alabama we never know what the weather will offer us, right?
Clouds are a perfect filter for the sun, so while we may not get the golden sunlight… there are other benefits to overcast skies!
If it is raining I will give you the option of moving to one of 2 indoor locations (that I love) or rescheduling
Lifestyle Photography is a style of photography that captures people in natural, real-life moments with minimal posing. It focuses on authentic interactions, emotions, and storytelling rather than formal, stiff portraits. The goal is to create images that feel candid and genuine.
Just come with the mindset that this is going to be a fun experience—I’ll take care of the rest.
While lifestyle photography appears candid, I will actually guide you through every step to naturally create that effortless look.
Absolutely! My style is a hybrid of the classic portrait and lifestyle. Your gallery will have a great mixture of both.
Absolutely! I believe in printing and displaying family photos (not just professional ones but snapshots from your phone as well). I will gladly help with any print, framing or layout designs you need!

I recommend coordinating outfits rather than matching—choose a color palette and mix complementary tones, textures, and layers for a natural, cohesive look. Neutrals, soft tones, and classic pieces tend to photograph beautifully, avoiding logos or distracting patterns. If you're looking for inspiration, a quick Google search for "family photo session wardrobe ideas" can provide great visual examples to help you plan.
I have about 6 or 7 favorite locations. When we start our conversation (by text or chat) we will decide together which of the locations fits your family’s style
The average session lasts about 45 minutes to an hour.
Yes, you do! You can choose anywhere you would like to print your images.
Note - My photos are edited to print on high quality calibrated machines. While big box printers are ok, the coloring on prints will vary from place to place.
Yes, I do.
All Session Fees Are $300.00. After the session you can split payments for your digital package into 2 or 3 payments.
Digitals will not be received until the package is paid in full
