The natural way you lean into each other, hold hands, and simply relax together says so much. Of course, we’ll capture a few posed shots, but it’s the laughter, the in-between moments, and the genuine smiles that truly tell your family’s story. Those are the moments I love to capture most.

Where the real moments live
Between the steps and the squeals of laughter…that’s where the truth of childhood lives. These are the moments I’m always watching for—honest, joyful, beautifully unposed.
We get to hang out and have fun (I promise) for an hour minimum. We’ll do some posed shots, but the best smiles are captured in between the poses, and I’ll be shooting away to capture those images. You don’t have to worry about a thing - kids in a good mood, or hubby not super excited about the session. My sessions are super casual and relaxed, and you can be assured we’ll laugh and have a great time, and it will show through in your photos.
Sessions are scheduled just before sunset (that beautiful golden hour). Turnaround time to receive galleries is "officially" two weeks, but usually much faster, with most galleries having more than 50 fully edited images!
A family session includes two parents and one sibling group (immediate family only), and your fur baby too, of course!
FAMILY SESSIONS - $500
An extended family session includes two parents, their adult children and their spouses, plus grandchildren (7-10 people).

Oh boy do I! I have created Amazon lists for all the family members that my clients find really helpful for inspiration and ideas - either from pulling from your own closet or adding something from Amazon.

I have several favorite spots in Redmond, Bend, and Sisters that I love to take family photos. A few ideas are Bend River Trail, Shevlin Park, Eagle Crest, etc. We’ll decide together what the best option is for your family and you can pick!

Family photo sessions are for your immediate family (one family group), but certainly extended family members can be added on to your package. It’s so special to get photos of the kids with grandma and grandpa!
