Your family. As they are.
I’ll give you enough direction to make the photograph work, then leave room for everyone to settle in. The laugh after the posed shot, the kid who doesn't quite stand still, the way you naturally fit together—that’s usually where the photographs worth keeping come from.
For availability, send your date and a few details about what you’re planning.
family portraits
Family photographs should look like your family, not a catalog version of it. I give enough direction to make the photograph strong, then let everybody breathe. The best frame is usually the one right after the official one.
multigenerational
Grandparents, cousins, everyone finally in the same place. Big groups need a plan. I get the full group done early, then work through the combinations that matter to you.
vacation
Planning a family trip or reunion? I photograph families on Folly, Isle of Palms, Kiawah, and Sullivan's and beyond. I'll help you pick the spot and the time of evening with the best light.
maternity
I keep these sessions simple: good light, clean frames, and enough direction that you never have to guess what to do with your hands.
newborn
They're only this small for a few weeks. The session runs on feedings and naps. My schedule works around theirs.
milestones
Anniversaries, first birthdays, cake smashes, senior portraits. I keep the attention on the kid and let the props stay props.
