not your average family photo
when you're looking for authentic moments,
there's no place like home
The beauty of the at-home session is that you're already in your element. Your favorite moments in your every day take place right here. We start at your house, finding the best spots in your outdoor spaces to capture what makes your family unique. If after a bit we want to go a little further a field, I'm down for going to the park around the corner or riding some bikes on the sidewalk! In the end, my goal is to capture your family in context - because when a place has meaning for you, it tells part of the story in a way that generic parks or other places just can't.
Over the course of the session, we'll do everything from crazy games to intimate cuddles, the whole chaotic gang together, and smaller groups and individual portraits. If your family has a special thing you love to do, let's capture it! But don't worry about figuring out what to make happen. As long as you're ready and open to showing me the messy, joyful, chaotic, beautiful, loving uniqueness that is your family, we'll capture something amazing.
Maternity
Maternity sessions with me are just like an engagement session, but with a baby bump instead of engagement rings. We focus on your love, your amazing body, and the last moments of your relationship before a seismic shift.
Already have kids? Then the session is a family session with some extra focus on your tummy, and your children (especially your youngest) before the new addition arrives.
Newborn
Newborn sessions hold a special place in my heart. And while traditionally I've done all my newborn sessions in home, during the current pandemic, they've moved outside in a quite beautiful way.
Incorporating your porch, your yard, and a nice big blanket, we'll get some amazing moments with you and your tiniest family member.

My unique approach to COMMISSIONED family art
The art world, including commissioned art such as photography, is all over the map when it comes to how much you might invest. And because comparing art is not apples to apples, it can be tricky to figure out how much you should spend. But when it comes to custom art, you get what you pay for, and with my dedication to my clients, over a decade in business, and a satisfaction guarantee that's more than just lip service, you'll find that with a sitting fee of $300 and collections starting at $695, your commission will be worth every penny.
What's Next?
If you value photography, let's hop on a call! I know getting on the phone is the last thing most people want to do (me included), but I really do find it's the best way to go over all the details, and helps me really help you figure out exactly what you're looking for and if my services would be a good fit.
There's no pressure at all - I'll just walk you through the AFP family experience and answer any questions you have as they come up. If it sounds like your dream session, we can pull up calendars and pencil in a date right then and there - no back and forth emails trying to find when our schedules match up, no confusing price sheet to decipher.
My biggest goal is to provide an outstanding service by making every step as simple for you as possible, and after a decade in business, I can say that phone calls are by far the quickest, easiest, and best way to get started.
Portfolio
feel the love, the struggle, the laughter, the chaos, the joy
It's old photos like these that I find so inspiring. Flipping through my own family heirlooms with my mom, learning everything there is to learn about my grandmother's childhood and my family's history, makes me want to do the same for my kids. There's something about holding a memory in my hands that makes me feel so close to her.

When it comes to a life philosophy I'm all about appreciating the journey and not just the destination. That's why providing an unparalleled experience is equally important to me as the quality of the images themselves.
Every session includes a complimentary Cinematic Slideshow Event, followed by a bespoke online shop stocked with the highest quality items to help turn your memories into tangible heirlooms that will last for generations.
