A young boy with blonde hair laughs while covering his eyes with his hands, wearing a multicolored sweater, as an adult holds him and smiles in the background.

A young girl with brown hair in pigtails, wearing a pink dress with strawberry embroidery, is lying underneath a tipped-over orange and cream plastic slide on a wooden floor, smiling and resting her head on a white cloth.

A woman and a man are walking outside with a young boy. The woman is holding the boy's hand as he balances on a wooden beam near a garden bed. The sky is partly cloudy.

Family photos are an opportunity to play, laugh, snuggle up to one another. Gone are the days of cycling through various combinations of "freeze and cheese" at photo sessions.

As a Juneau family photographer, my approach is really simple: just let you be together. Between school, work, sports and all life's other obligations, how often are we granted permission to forget about our phones and our Google calendars? Rarely.

This family session is your permission to be present.

Let me document reality in a beautiful setting for you while highlighting the season of life you're in.

ready to do this?!

family sessions

A session focused on connection over perfection. No acting, no faking it, no distractions: just being with your people, enjoying each other's company. Build your session around your favorite activity or a meaningful location. Think: a day at the beach, your favorite view, a neighborhood walk or a slow morning at home making breakfast.

A happy family of four enjoying nature outdoors, sitting together near blooming purple flowers. The mother is holding a young child and touching the flowers, while the father is kneeling beside them, all smiling and looking at the flowers.

extended family sessions

Bring everyone: grandparents, aunts, uncles, siblings, babies. These sessions include the time and space for everyone you love in one place which, let's be honest, doesn't happen often enough. Extended family sessions always include that iconic, big group shot and every combination you can think of, but more importantly photo proof of those little moments that only happen when everyone gets together. Pick a location that fits your crew and we'll build from there.

family adventures

Adventure family sessions are designed around activities that can't be rushed: ones that take a little more time, effort, and intention. Like full family sessions, you choose an activity that's meaningful to your family and spend time fully immersed doing what you love with the people you love. With a slower pace and extra space to move, there’s room for real moments to unfold naturally along the way. Let's go for that hike, head to the river to fish or spend a morning at home.

Short answer: whatever feels like you. This is me begging you to not dress up if that's not your thing. Family photos can be beautiful even (especially) if your kiddos is in the Batman pajamas they've been wearing for a week or you're in your favorite pair of jeans.
But for real, after booking, you will receive a style guide with tips and tricks for coordinating colors and choosing patterns if that's important to you.
For lifestyle sessions (engagement, maternity, newborn/fresh 48, family) my current turn around time is 1 week or less.
For wedding and elopements, my current turn around time is 4 weeks or less.
