Want to preserve those heartfelt moments with your favorite tiny people?
When you look at your photographs years from now, I want them to take you back to that very moments and help you remember exactly what it felt like to hold those little hands in yours.
For me, I want to dig deeper with you and your family, and capture those real moments that go on in your life. I want the photographs from our time together to reflect the true connections and real love that is present within your family.
Lifestyle family photography is the best way to document your family’s love in the most authentic and beautiful way. This style of photography is simply you, your family, interacting in a natural environment. When I am with you, I want it to feel as if we are on a playdate. My style of shooting is slow-paced, intentional, but most importantly, all of my images are heart-centred.

What is lifestyle family photography and how is it different from traditional posed portraits?
Lifestyle family photography is all about capturing real, unscripted moments rather than stiff poses and forced smiles. When you book a family photoshoot, the session feels much more like a relaxed playdate than a formal sitting. You and your little ones simply interact naturally while the camera does its thing in the background. The goal is to document the genuine love, laughter, and connection that already exists within your family, so that when you look back at these photographs years from now, they take you straight back to exactly how that moment felt.
Where do family photography sessions take place in Columbia and Lexington?
Sessions are held in a variety of natural settings around the Columbia and Lexington, SC area, including parks, wooded locations, and even your own home. If you would love a more personal, intimate feel, an in-home session surrounded by your family's everyday environment can be incredibly meaningful. As your family photographer, I will work with you during your planning appointment to choose a location that suits your family's personality and the look you are hoping for.
What does the full family photography experience include?
The experience goes far beyond just the photoshoot itself. It begins with a wardrobe and planning appointment, where you and I will talk through outfit choices, select your location, and get everything organized so the session day feels easy and stress-free. A hair and makeup artist comes to your home on the day of the session, so you arrive feeling completely yourself. After the photoshoot, you will meet again virtually to choose your favorite images and design custom artwork for your home, from gallery walls to heirloom albums. Orders are typically ready within 4 to 10 weeks.
How much does a family photoshoot cost?
The session fee is $250, and products and digital files are sold separately during your ordering appointment. I offer a full-service experience designed for busy mothers who want beautiful, custom artwork created for their home, not just a folder of image files. During your ordering appointment, you will be shown custom gallery wall designs made specifically for your space so you can choose pieces that feel truly meaningful.
How far in advance should I book my family session?
As I photograph a limited number of families each year, it is best to reach out as early as possible to check availability, particularly if you have a specific season or milestone in mind. Families across Columbia, Lexington, Irmo, Chapin, and Forest Acres book ahead to secure their preferred time of year, especially during the golden light of autumn. Contact now to start the conversation and find out what dates are open.
