Family Sessions

Photos should be treasured,

not forgotten on a hard drive.

Photo sessions should be fun and stress-free!

Many families struggle to capture authentic, joyful moments together, leading to missed memories and regret.

Sigh. Sad face.

When you see pictures of your family in your home, it's more than just a photo—it's a memory—frozen in time.

Studies show that photos displayed in the home boost self-confidence and give a sense of belonging. Let your child wear that silly hat or bring their beloved stuffed toy to the session.

The day will come when they won’t want it anymore.

Family Gallery
My family is a repeat client. Annette took my son’s first month photos and they are my favorite memories, so when my girl was born I had to have Annette take hers too. There is nothing more special than capturing this time in my family’s life. I love every photo. Annette is patient and so fun and easy to work with. Pictures can be a lot with two littles but not with her. Make sure to call Annette for your baby and family photos!!! You’ll have a photographer for life.

I have samples you can touch and feel, and let’s be honest. That’s the best part!

I’ll have everything ready to go when you arrive. I will gently guide and pose you. Be ready to laugh, I’ll grab a few candids, too. Portraits are fun, and shouldn’t feel stuffy or stressful. It’s YOUR day to shine!
