Family Photographs that Feel Like You


Family photos don’t have to be stressful or picture-perfect—in fact, they shouldn’t be! My goal is to make your session feel more like hanging out with a friend than posing for a camera. No stiff smiles or awkward “say cheese” moments here—just the sincere, playful, affectionate moments that make your family yours. Whether it’s silliness, snuggles, or a little bit of sass, we’ll keep it easy, fun, and totally you. Let’s capture the kind of memories that remind you not just how your family looks, but how it feels to love and be loved by them.

Family Photos Frequently Asked Questions

How much do Family Sessions Cost?

Family sessions are $360 for one hour or $480 for an hour and a half. A one-hour session is perfect for most families, while an hour and a half gives us extra time for extended family groups, outfit changes, or simply more moments to capture.

Where do you shoot?

I’m based in St. Charles County in Missouri, but I’m always up for an adventure and happy to travel! When it comes to choosing a location, we’ll find the perfect spot that matches your vision for the session. Whether it’s the comfort of your home, the natural beauty of a local park, or a special place that holds meaning for your family, we’ll pick a setting that feels just right.

What if my kids hate photos?

Don’t worry—you’re not alone! A lot of kids (and let’s be honest, some grown-ups too) aren’t fans of being in front of a camera. I work with your family’s unique personalities, using games, prompts, and plenty of lollipops to keep things light and engaging. Whether they’re shy, silly, or full of energy, we’ll roll with it and capture real, joyful moments that feel just like you.

How will we receive our gallery?

You’ll receive a password-protected digital gallery of high-resolution photos (around 75 images per hour of shooting) within 3 weeks of your session. This gallery is yours to download, share, and treasure. Every package includes a print and social media release, so you can easily share your favorites with friends and family or print them to display in your home.
