The mundane and the sacred are one in the same.

FULL HOME SESSIONS
Full Home Sessions happen in - you guessed it - the comfort of your own home (and yards if you'd like!). No worrying about packing the kids in a car, or making sure that you brought the snacks or changes of clothes. These sessions typically last at least 50 minutes to allow for plenty of time and space to get comfortable and allow for lots of genuine moments.
I will guide and gently direct your family, and we'll pause occasionally for a posed portrait, but a good portion of these images will be "lifestyle" or "directed documentary" in nature. I'll capture your family cuddling on the couch, hanging out in the kitchen, and playing in the yard. I'll also get your baby's tangled curls, your toddler's sloppy kisses, a stolen moment between you and your partner, and the happy wiggles of your pups as they sneak into the frame (because they're family too!).
Together we'll create images that are beautiful and deeply meaningful for your family.
PRICING: $475 + tax | 50+ edited images in a digital gallery

There's no place like Home.
YARD MINI SESSIONS
For a quick and easy alternative to the full home session, I offer yard mini sessions for clients in a limited service area. Yard minis are available in the following zip codes (other neighborhoods may be considered with a travel fee):
85012, 85013, 85014, 85015, 85016, 85018, 85020, 85021, 85253
With yard sessions, I'll focus on getting some sweet and meaningful portraits (gotta get that card shot!) but I'll also use fun prompts and games to help capture moments of genuine interaction and movement.
Please note that sessions in east, north, and south facing yards occur at sunset, and sessions in west facing yards occur at sunrise. I do my very best to get all clients the iconic front door portrait, but occasionally, lighting conditions will mean we have to look for alternative portrait spots.

Grandparents and well-behaved pets are always welcome to join. I do not have an extended family option for mini sessions.
Photos that feel like memories.
STUDIO MINI SESSIONS
For clients who want an alternative to sessions in their home, I do offer a studio mini session option. Studios are wonderful because we are guaranteed to have lots of beautiful, flattering light (and, there's no pressure to prep your own space for a home session).
I will work to capture smile-at-the-camera portraits but we'll also create more relaxed "lifestyle"-type images that reflect genuine emotion and connection.
The studios I work in are located in Downtown Phoenix.

Because of the studio's space and insurance parameters, client groups are limited to 6 people (and, unfortunately, no pets are allowed).
