Littles grow up so fast.

Too many families are so busy with life's hustle and bustle and say it's hard to get everyone together for family portraits. When they even think to try and get everyone together to cooperate for professional portraits, it can be so daunting that they push it to the side and miss those fleeting moments. Taking professional portraits doesn't have to be hard, stressful, or even perfect. Let me come along side you and celebrate the uniqueness of your family so that you can commemorate these gracious, beautiful moments of life.

  • Not sure if you want to be in the photos?

  • Worried that your kiddos won't cooperate?

  • Stressed about when to schedule?

Join me in celebrating your family! We will watch a curated movie slideshow of your beautiful photographs that showcases your family legacy. I will help you choose your absolute favorites and show you how they can be displayed as artwork to warm up your home for a lifetime.

Family portraits get to be fun.

Too many families don't get family portraits because it feels like a hassle. They might plan for it but worry that their kiddos won't cooperate, so they put it off. 

I love creating a simple, adventurous, and fun experience which allows each personality to shine and creates space for family quality time.

These will be moments you can cherish and proudly display on your walls, making home feel like home.

Meet Shawna.

Being the oldest in my immediate family and always surrounded by our extended family with all the cousins running around, I got very good with working with little kiddos. Over the years, I became our family photographer at our annual cookouts while capturing the "littles" climbing our literal family tree in our grandparent's yard. It eventually became tradition to climb the tree each year and photograph everyone in and around the tree, that we now have a photograph hanging on my grandparent's wall of all the generations with the family tree. 

The actual tree is now torn down and gone, but our memories of the "good ole' days" still live hanging on my grandparent's wall. 

No family is perfect, and not everything stays the same, but the memories we share and make together are priceless and treasured. I love getting to know your family and taking the pressure off of you, so that you can cherish the present and treasure the memories for generations to come.
