Family photos but make it art
My photography style is photojournalistic meets editorial. It's artful storytelling for those who value experiences over things, intentional details, and adventure over perfection.
I want the portraits to embody the personalities of each family member, and I also want everyone involved to enjoy the process. As much as I want to create award-winning art, my priority will always be my clients. Yes, we'll get the kinds of photos you'd find in a magazine, but it's equally important to capture the moments Grandma will hang in her hallway.
I strive for emotive, vibrant, chic and modern photographs that will be treasured for generations. Family photos are a part of your legacy, after all.
CAPTURING THE IN-BETWEEN MOMENTS
You understand the importance of good photography and artful storytelling, especially when telling one as important as your family’s. Have peace of mind knowing the candid, unposed moments you care about most will be documented and treasured for generations.
Leading up to your photo session, you’ll feel completely taken care of as I walk you through the entire process, provide outfit recommendations, send over a style guide, select a location just for you, and send you a reminder text the day before our session.
I absolutely want to give you photographs that you can’t stop staring at, and I also want us to build a meaningful connection while doing it. It’s not uncommon that my clients and I become friends. Every year I look forward to receiving their holiday cards and continuing to photograph their growing families.

The Experience
What’s included in every photography package
-
Leading up to your session, you’ll feel completely taken care of as I provide location suggestions, take the guess work out of outfit coordination, and send hair and makeup recommendations if requested. As a parent myself, I ensure every detail is accounted for so you don’t have to worry about receiving your final gallery and wondering where certain photos are. You can rest assured it will all be there.
-
Color Correction, Global Adjustments, Cropping, Spot + Blemish Removal all done in-house. Before photography, I was into graphic design, which basically makes me a Photoshop queen. Let’s say you want to blow up one of your photos to hang in your living room but you noticed something that you’d like removed. Or maybe you would love a particular photo in black and white. You can rest assured I’ll make that edit for you quickly and complimentary. I want you to be obsessed with your images.
-
You’ll receive all of your edited, full resolution images in an online gallery created just for you. Here you can view, download, favorite, share, and print your photos. You also get the copyright release which means you have printing rights to print your photos wherever or however you choose.
-
A thoughtfully curated guide that includes tips, FAQ, links, recommendations, and more. Plus, all RWP clients receive access to a professional styling tool which provides outfit suggestions for every family member.
-
You’ll receive sneak peeks within 2 days and your final gallery within 1 week. It’s important to me that you don’t wait weeks for your final images after the initial hype has worn off. This is one place where speed and quality co-exist.
-
What do all of the couples in the photos below have in common? Almost all of them warned me when we first met that they can look awkward in photos. Spoiler alert, none of them are professional models and yet, they appear relaxed and natural in their photos. When we meet, I’ll spill my secret sauce that I use to achieve this every dang time.
