Why hire a family photographer?

Specializing in family photography means a focused commitment to capturing the essence of the family before you. I have years of experience working with families of all shapes and sizes; I connect with each family on a personal level. Think of me as a friend with a camera — someone who understands how to put everyone at ease, from the shy toddler to the reluctant teenager and I have a vested interest in making sure these photos make you happy!

Family photographers who have been at it for a while understand that babies need feeding, toddlers in a 'no' stage need a nuanced approach, and dads who would rather be watching the game will smile if you tell them to pull their partner in a little closer. We also understand that it's often the mom who has done all the work to get everyone's schedule, outfits, and nap times aligned so we have this one hour. So we make sure to let Mom know she can relax in this photo session: we'll take the reigns.


Specializing in family photography means I’m dedicated to:

  • Capturing joyful, authentic interactions
  • Continuing education in family photography and editing techniques
  • Providing a superior experience and high-quality prints, wall art, and albums


My work is trusted by three of Reno’s Best Version Media publications every month and a long line of happy clients, so you can feel confident knowing this investment is in skilled, experienced hands. Whether you’re looking for timeless portraits or candid, lifestyle shots, your family's story deserves to be captured with heart, skill, and care.
