Family Sessions

Family photography holds a special place in my heart. These are the photos that will hang on your wall and freeze these fleeting moment in time. Whether your kiddos are 4 days, 4 months, 4 years, or 40 years old, you can count on me to capture your family with beautiful portraits!

Booking & Prep


It starts with a quick chat on the phone. Once you know we are the right fit, we will work together to make sure the experience and artwork I create is custom to you.

I can help you plan your outfits, prep your kids, and feel ready to have a great photographic experience from start to finish!

Your Session


Your family session should tell your family's story! You don't have to be a professional model to get great photos. It's okay if your youngest doesn't want to pose and cooperate. I have young kids of my own and understand that these sessions don't always go as planned. I go with the flow, meet them where they are at, and capture photos in between! Sometimes the photos where the kids are interacting with mom, dad or with their surroundings are the favorites.


I will help you with poses that make you all look great without being too "posey." So just relax and get ready to have some fun with your family!

"Jessica took family pictures, which with the large family we had not done in over 5 years! They turned out beautifully. We loved how natural Jessica was at letting the family be what they wanted to be for the photos, but she was right there to help with direction when needed."
