welcome adventurers
I live for wild hair blowing in the wind, babies snuggling up with their parents, the excitement of exploring what's around them, and their little hands collecting as many rocks and sticks as they can carry.
The unposed, raw moments tell the story of what family life truly feels like. The authentic snippets of your everyday moments are what you will cherish when your babies have outgrown your arms and will make you remember what parenthood with little ones truly felt like.
My family sessions are centered around authenticity and the stripping of expectations – mothers holding their babies, dads going off to explore with their kids, simply enjoying spending time with those who mean the most to them and letting me capture their messy, carefree, silly and most of all authentic moments.

letting sessions unfold naturally will elevate your experience
If there is one thing you can be sure I won't ask of you, it is sitting still and smiling at the camera. Instead, I will encourage you to explore your environment and its elements with your children. Let your session be a fun experience where you can teach your kids and, in return, learn what excites them. Adventure sessions are supposed to be fun for everyone. So, if your kids aren't all about the camera - that's okay. As long as they interact with you, we will capture heartfelt images.
Simplicity mindset
Within six weeks after your session, I will edit and upload your family session and you'll receive a link to your online gallery.
We'll pick a color scheme that compliments your chosen location and you are welcome to use items of clothing I have acquired for family sessions.
After your initial inquiry, we'll chat about your family and your vision for your session.
Next, we'll pick a date and location for your session. Most outdoor sessions take place an hour before sunset for the most flattering and romantic lighting.
Family sessions take between 1 - 1.5 hours so we'll have plenty of time to chat in between shots and let the kids play while capturing meaningful moments.
Share away! You'll have printing rights to all of your images so feel free to share them on social media and print art for your home.

I strive to create nostalgia in my images - seemingly small moments that will only increase in weight and value with the passing years, cherished by generations to come — love letters to those that mean the most to you written in light, shadows, and grain.

Nothing compares to the feeling of home. The memories and the feeling of being safe are reasons this environment is perfect for storytelling and capturing a day in the life. The chaos, the noise, the quiet moments, the sounds of little feet pattering on the floor of your home - we'll preserve these precious memories you will miss when your house is quiet and your kids have moved out.

Nature outdoor sessions start an hour before sunset - that's when the light is most flattering. We'll pick a location that has special meaning to you or represents the style you're looking for.
We'll also touch on outfits and create a combo that speaks to you and represents your personal style.

FAMILY VIDEOS
Emotive storytelling gets more magical with moving pictures and music that ties your experience together.
I offer video add-ons during photo sessions to create unique keepsakes that embody the feel of your session, the environment, and close-ups of gestures of love and fleeting moments that can't be conveyed in one photograph.
"We have a large family (five littles ages 8 and under) it’s easy to feel overwhelmed by the chaos. Becca was so good with our kids…she handled it like a total mom boss. From making them feel comfortable to capturing sweet smiles and giggles."
