What to Expect -
Your Session Experience
A Personal Consultation
We start with a relaxed planning conversation to talk through your vision, location, styling, and how you want your family portraits to feel. This ensures your session is thoughtfully planned and as stress-free as possible.
A Joyful, Guided Photo Session
The day of your session is designed to be fun! It should be relaxed, and full of connection. With gentle posing guidance and prompts, you can simply enjoy being together while natural smiles, laughter, and real moments unfold.
A Gallery Reveal
Within 2 weeks of your session, your gallery will be ready to view. You can view it online if you'd like or we can do an in-person ordering session. The in-person session is great if you're interested in wall art or albums. I partner with professional labs that offer exceptional color accuracy and archival materials on all their amazing products.
While you’re welcome to print digital files elsewhere, I can’t guarantee the quality or longevity of prints from third-party vendors. My goal is for your artwork to look amazing for years to come, and I’m here to help you make choices that match that standard.
Investment
Your family's story deserves more than a quick photo session. It deserves a relaxed experience, beautiful portraits you'll love for years to come, and images that celebrate the people who matter most. Whether you're updating your family portraits, celebrating a senior, or documenting this season of life, my goal is to make the entire experience easy, enjoyable, and completely centered around your family.

Want More Than Your Included Images?
Many families fall in love with more than ten portraits, and that's perfectly okay. After viewing your gallery, you'll have the opportunity to purchase:
- Additional digital images
- Beautiful framed wall art
- Canvas and metal artwork
- Custom albums
- Acrylic blocks
- Gift prints for grandparents and family
There is absolutely no obligation to purchase anything beyond your included collection. Simply choose the images and artwork that are right for your family.
Why Print Your Portraits?
Digital images are wonderful for sharing with family and friends, but the photographs that become part of your everyday life are the ones displayed on your walls and shared around the coffee table. There's something special about walking past a family portrait every day or watching your children flip through an album years from now. Those are the memories that become part of your family's story.
If you'd like help selecting artwork for your home, I'm always happy to guide you. If digital images are all you need, that's perfectly wonderful too.

Meet the Photographer
Hey, my name is Cathy!
What began as a love for documenting my own family has grown into a passion for creating joyful, authentic portraits for others. With over a decade of experience, I’ve had the privilege of photographing countless families, seniors, and entrepreneurs, capturing moments that feel real, connected, and full of life.
I’m married to my husband, Chris, of 16 years - my biggest supporter and the best assistant I could imagine. Together, we understand how quickly seasons change. We’re raising our 14-year-old daughter, and with just a few short years before she spreads her wings, I’m especially thankful for the memories we’ve preserved in photographs along the way.
That perspective shapes everything I do. My approach is thoughtful and guided, centered on connection and joy, so you walk away with images and heirloom artwork that reflect your story and belong in your home.
You are in the right place if:
- You love joyful, authentic portraits that feel natural
- Want a fun, guided, stress-free experience full of laughter
- Value thoughtful planning from the very beginning
- Want help choosing albums, wall art, and printed pieces
- Believe your memories deserve more than a screen
