Every session is thoughtfully planned, warmly guided and designed to feel like quality time together, not a photoshoot. Whether we're outside in the golden hour or documenting life at home, I'll make sure you feel taken care of every step of the way.
I offer family, newborn, maternity, and Fresh 48 sessions throughout Portland, Lake Oswego, Beaverton, Gresham, Sandy, Estacada, and surrounding areas. For families who want to document more than one chapter, I also offer limited membership collections- scroll down to learn more.

The Collections
Everything I offer is built around the idea that your photographs should live somewhere they can actually be seen. Every collection includes both your digital gallery and handcrafted print products, because that's the point. These aren't files to archive. They're artwork for your home.
All my sessions are 60-90 minutes.
These sessions are great for family, maternity, newborn and milestone.
Collections starting at $950
Legacy
Your full gallery. A 2-3 minute Session Film set to licensed music in a linen video album. A museum glass box of twenty fine art prints. A heirloom linen album.
This is everything- every image from our session, the complete printed collection, and a Session Film to hold it all. If you want the most complete record of this chapter of your family's story, this is it.
The full experience.
Signature
For the family who wants a polished, complete experience.
Twenty beautifully edited images. A museum glass box of twenty fine art prints, matted and ready to display.
You'll leave with your digital images and something tangible in your hands — a real printed piece you can put on a shelf or hang on a wall the day it arrives.
Heirloom
Forty images. A 2-3 minute Session Film set to licensed music, an heirloom photo linen album to hold it all.
The Session Film is one of my favorite things to create- it captures the movement, the sound, the aliveness of your family in a way that still images alone can't. The kind of thing you'll watch on repeat and your kids will ask to see again.
For the family ready to go a little deeper.
For the family who wants a polished, complete experience.
À la carte print products are also available for families who want to add additional artwork to their chosen collection. All the details are included in the pricing guide sent after your inquiry.
What's Included In Every Session
Before we even meet, I'll send you a full client experience guide and wardrobe guide covering everything from location planning to outfit coordination- so you show up feeling prepared, not overwhelmed. I also offer hair and makeup recommendations and can connect you with local professionals if you want that extra layer of polish.
During our session I'll guide you gently through the whole thing. No stiff posing, no stress. Just a relaxed environment where real moments have room to happen- and I also incorporate 35mm film into every session for that warmth and timelessness that digital alone can't replicate. If you choose a collection with Session film, you will receive a 2-3 minute video set to licensed music. The session film is capture during your family session.
After your session, your hand-edited gallery will be delivered to a private online gallery within four weeks. Then we'll do an ordering appointment together- I'll walk you through every step of selecting your print products so nothing ends up sitting forgotten in a download folder.
A seamless, laid back experience from first hello to final gallery

I work with a small number of families each season so spots fill up faster than you might expect. If you have a specific date or season in mind, I'd recommend reaching out sooner rather than later. That said, if you're hoping for something soon, it never hurts to ask. I'll always let you know what I have available.

I serve Portland, Lake Oswego, Beaverton and surrounding areas. Sessions can take place outdoors at golden hour in a location that means something to your family, or at home in a more intimate documentary style. We'll talk through what feels right for you during the planning process.

The Signature collection is a 60-minute session. The Heirloom and Legacy collections are both 90 minutes. The extra time in the longer sessions makes a real difference. There's more room to breathe, more space for the in-between moments, and more images to choose from.

Yes. I shoot both digital and 35mm film because I want your images to feel as timeless as the moments inside them. No trends, no filters that date themselves in two years. Film is available across session types and honestly, there is nothing more timeless than a film family portrait.
