Want to get your session in before the cold stays for good? This is your friendly reminder :)

Timeless black + white

Ally + Charlie 7.17.26

There’s something about eliminating color that strips away distractions. What remains is light, expression, movement, and connection. Beautiful simplicity, which is exactly what their wedding was: a backyard ceremony and an unforgettable catered dinner for nine. Simple in plans, extraordinary in care, love and thought.

Having never had family portraits, I was so excited to capture these three! Their little one was full steam ahead, making this session all about fun, play and cuddling up in between!

While the smiles and laughter are a given, for me and likely you, it’s the smallest details that hit the heart deepest and bring us back.

The tiny hand that once fit in yours… the baby curls…the favorite stuffed animal always close by…the squishy cheek pressed against yours. Years from now, today’s pictures become a reminder of what it felt like when your presence was their comfort, your hand was the one they reached for, and simply being together was enough.

Five kids, wide-open land, and the glow of sunset wrapped around them, this family session unfolded exactly as it should - free-flowing and full of life.

With a mix of older high schoolers and little ones eager to run, we leaned into what always works best: letting the kids explore, play, and simply be themselves.

Visiting from Oklahoma, the Farmer family scored a beautiful sun-soaked day along the shores of Lake Tahoe, chasing little footsteps as they celebrated the start of a beautiful third generation. This heartfelt family session was gifted to Grandma by her three daughters, making it all the more meaningful.

Three generations, 11 people, and a whole lot of personality in one place. These sessions are some of my favorites - not because they’re perfectly posed, but because they’re full of life. The kids running around, grandparents soaking it all in, siblings laughing like no time has passed… it’s the kind of connection you can feel when you look back on the photos.

Getting to know your family tree ahead of time allows me to show up with the key piece to orchestrate a seamless flow for candids while capturing the whole group and every combination within it with ease.

Living in Tahoe, I get to photograph families who’ve come from all over to be together. Sometimes it’s the only time all year (or longer) that everyone’s in the same place. And when you think about it… how often does that really happen?

Between boat days, bbq’s, and lake time carving out one hour to document it all becomes the souvenir you’ll keep forever.

If you have a family trip on the calendar this summer, this is your sign to make it count!

Now booking multi-family sessions for summer!

When the opportunity comes to sit for … you pull up a chair.

His work lives in a different space than mine. Quieter, closer, more introspective. Where I chase movement and candids, he leans into stillness and truth.

An afternoon of slowing down, testing gear, exchanging stories and stepping into the opposite side of the lens.

Different rhythm. Same love for the craft. Grateful to learn.
