The value of motherhood and family photos is something I’ll never take for granted. The days of raising little ones are a blur of love, exhaustion, and endless milestones, and I know firsthand how much we want to bottle up every stage. But as a mom myself, I also understand the stress that can come with planning a family photo session.
After years of photographing families, I’ve created a process that takes the overwhelm off your plate and makes the entire experience stress-free and enjoyable. From personalized session prep to curated wardrobe styling (including access to my client closet for mamas!), I’ll guide you every step of the way.
Most importantly, our session will be fun—a relaxed, effortless experience that captures the beauty of your family just as you are.

Let’s start with the obvious—you’re an amazing mom. I know this because you’re here, thinking about preserving these fleeting moments with your babies. But let me ask you something…
When was the last time you were in a photo with your kids?
Not the blurry, front-camera selfies or the ones where you’re half-hidden behind them. I mean a photo where you are fully present—your love, your joy, the way they look at you with pure adoration.
I know how easy it is to put yourself last. To be the one always taking the pictures but never in them. But one day, your babies will want to look back and see you—the way you held them, the way you laughed with them, the way you loved them. And I want to show you what that love looks like.
Because Mama, you deserve to exist in photos. To see yourself the way your children do—beautiful, strong, and so incredibly loved. Let’s create something that will mean the world to them one day. And to you, right now.
Dear Mama,

Once you are ready to book a session, reach out via my contact form or email and we can start chatting about details. I will send over your session agreement and invoice for the 50% nonrefundable retainer to hold your session date. Next up: Planning!
Let's Chat!
Ready to book?
We’ll chat about your vision, location options (outdoor, in-home, or studio), and wardrobe styling.
I’ll send you a session guide that is filled with my best tips and advice on styling your family, expectations, how to prep your little ones for a relaxed and enjoyable experience, and much more.
Before Your Session
Planning
Sessions can take place anywhere from 18 months to just a few days before the wedding. I'm a huge fan of engagement sessions for many reasons. Most importantly, they allow you to get comfortable in front of my camera and understand how I shoot. It's amazing practice for the big day! Plus, you get beautiful images to use for Save the Dates! Win win.
During Your Session
I check in about two - three months before the wedding to start chatting about timeline specifics, special details, family formal shot lists, special traditions and anything else I need to know about your big day. A few days before I will send over a details checklist and confirm any last minute changes.
After The Session
lets plan
It's finally here! The day the two of you say "I Do" and dance the night away surrounded by your family and friends. I am SO excited to celebrate with you and capture your special day.
The Big Day
lets celebrate
You can expect your photos to be delivered via an online gallery within about eight to ten weeks after your wedding. At that time, I'll also send over details about preserving your images through prints and albums.
Your gallery is ready!

What to expect
Meet Sara
I get it because I’m living it, too.
I’m not just a photographer; I’m a toddler mom who knows how fast it all goes. The way their tiny hands fit in yours, the way their giggles fill a room—it all changes in the blink of an eye. That’s why I do this.
As a motherhood photographer, I’ve made it my mission to capture love in all its forms—from the vows that start it all to the babies who redefine it.
But most importantly, I want you to walk away from our time together not just with beautiful photos, but with a renewed appreciation for the incredible love that surrounds you.
