getting back to my roots // family sessions that fill my heart

I’ll get honest with you! To me, it isn’t financially possible to be a photographer and skip out on shooting weddings. This quickly because evident to me within a few years of doing this full time. So, over time, as we grew our own family + more of my weekends (hello a 37 wedding year!) were taken up with shooting weddings, I passed more and more on the family sessions to accommodate my sanity. This year, well, we know what this year has looked like. And, instead of just wallowing in my sadness about where all my weddings went, I decided to offer family sessions at a quite reduced rate, similar to mini sessions, but on location + with individual families. I had so much fun filling my summer nights meeting with families I hadn’t seen in a long time, or had only seen in mini session settings. Here are a few of my favorites from this summer…and, if you’re thinking about booking me for a family session, great! But know, (my informal policy) is that I’ll only ever share photos of your children that are unidentifiable, or that I’ve asked you about sharing. I don’t enjoy my own kid’s faces all over social media, so I won’t do it to you!
