Real families. Real connection. Real moments that matter.
Finally be IN the photos your kids will treasure forever—not just the one taking them.
FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHY SESSIONS
You're TIRED of playing family photographer INSTEAD of being INCLUDED in the family photos
SOUND FAMILIAR?
You have 847 photos of your kids on your phone, but you're in maybe 11 of them
You keep saying "we should get family photos" but you’ve never actually done it
You're waiting to "look better" or "lose those last 10 pounds" first
The thought of wrangling & coordinating outfits for everyone makes you want to hide under a blanket
You've tried DIY family photos but they’re not the same & not the memento you wanted
Real talk: Your kids already think you're perfect. They're not waiting for you to "get ready." They just want YOU.
WHAT IF FAMILY PHOTOS could actually be fun?
Imagine walking away from a family session feeling like you just had the best playdate ever. Where your kids were themselves, your partner actually smiled, and you—for once—felt beautiful and present in your own family story.
That's exactly what happens here.
STRESS-FREE FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHY
Where being yourselves is the whole point.
I'm Samantha, and I've spent 10+ years perfecting the art of capturing real families in their most authentic moments. No stiff poses, no fake smiles, no Pinterest pressure—just you, loving on your people, while I document the magic.
This isn't your typical family photography experience:
Size-inclusive Client Closet takes the "what do we wear" stress completely off your plate
No-stress, actually-fun sessions where kids can be kids (and pets can crash the party)
Outdoor locations chosen specifically for gorgeous light and natural beauty
Posing that doesn't feel like posing—candid moments mixed with those "grandma will love this" shots
You'll finally be IN the photos instead of always behind the camera
