Utah Family Photography

Family photos don’t have to feel stiff, stressful, or like something you just have to “get through.” My goal is to create a space where your family can actually enjoy being together — and I’ll take care of capturing it all beautifully along the way.


With over 300+ sessions and weddings photographed, I know how to guide things just enough while still letting real moments unfold naturally.

Family Sessions That Feel Like You


Family sessions with me are a mix of traditional portraits (yes, we’ll get everyone looking and smiling!) and the in-between moments that you’ll end up loving even more.


I’ll guide you through everything — where to stand, what to do with your hands, how to interact — while encouraging movement, play, and connection. Think walking, snuggling, tickle fights, kids being kids, and those little moments you never want to forget.

Family Session FAQ

What should we wear for our family session?

I’ve got you! I’ll help guide you through outfit planning so everything feels cohesive without being too “matchy.” Think complementary colors, movement, and comfort. Neutrals with a splash of color are always a winner for timeless photos.

What if my kids don't cooperate?

Totally normal (and often expected). I work with kids all the time and keep things moving, playful, and low-pressure so we can still get beautiful, genuine moments. Don't stress too hard about them being perfect. We'll let their moods help dictate at what speed we move and help make them happy and comfortable.

Where will our session take place?

I’ll suggest locations based on your vision, season, and lighting. You’ll get to choose what feels best for your family.

How long does it take to get our photos back?

Final edited images are delivered within 2 weeks after you’ve selected your favorites from your proofing gallery.
