Whimsical Family Sessions

Because one day, you’ll miss the chaos- magic and all

Fantasy-forward family sessions in the High Desert, for families who want something a little more magical than a matching-outfits-in-a-field photo.

I'll handle the styling, the props, and the print wrangling, which means more time for you to just be together.

Now booking sessions for families who want real, a little wild, and maybe even a little enchanted.

Whimsical

Play dress-up for the day, if you want.

  • The more accessories, the merrier

  • You get to be as creative and magical as you want

  • This is for the family who wants photos that feel more theatrical than sad-beige

You'll tell me your ideas, and I'll help bring them to life.

Whether it's fairy wings for the girls or full costumes for everyone, and if you want to reach for the moon, I have a ladder.

This can be as simple as meeting in the woods or setting up a whole scene.

Playful & Candid


Real moments, not “say cheese” smiles

  • You don’t want one more thing to plan

  • You want photos that show how much your family loves each other.

  • Sessions can happen at home or on location- I’ll be like a fly on the wall.

This is for you if you want your kids to be exactly who they are. Candid over posed.

Bubbles in the backyard? Yes please.

As a fantasy-forward family photographer in the High Desert, I want to save you the trouble of driving down the hill to find someone.

I'm a mom of four myself, and I know how fast these phases go. I won't leave you with a huge online gallery to add to your to-do list. I photograph you, and then I print everything for you, with intention.

No guesswork. No lost memories disappearing somewhere on a hard drive. Just wall-worthy magic, delivered right to your door.

I have a teenage son now. He used to dress up in a knight costume, or a little cowboy outfit that was once my husband's, and he'd wear them constantly.

I didn't know photography back then. So there are no photos. Just the memory of him running around in that armor, completely himself and feeling free.

For me, that's a shoulda-coulda-woulda moment. But for you? It can be now. Pow. WOW!

Your kid's magic window is open right now. Don't let it close without a single photo to show for it.
