"What should we wear?" — The question that keeps families from booking their session. 😅

Here's the thing: I've been doing this long enough to know that outfit stress is real. And completely unnecessary.

That's why I work with a professional stylist who takes the guesswork out of coordinating your family's look:

🎨 She creates a custom color palette that flatters everyone
👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Coordinates (not matches!) each family member perfectly
📦 Can even help you shop or pull from what you already own
✨ Ensures your photos look timeless, not trendy

No more last-minute outfit changes. No more wondering if everyone looks good together. No more stress.

Just show up, be yourselves, and let us handle the rest.

Because the best family photos happen when you're relaxed, comfortable, and focused on each other — not worried about whether your shirt works with your daughter's dress.

📸 Ready for a stress-free family session? DM me to get started!

Class of 2026... this is your moment. ✨

You're not just graduating — you're stepping into who you're meant to become. And that person? They deserve to be celebrated.

This year isn't about fitting into someone else's idea of what a senior should look like. It's about showing the world exactly who YOU are:

🎸 The musician who finds peace in melody
🏐 The athlete who never gives up
📚 The scholar who asks the big questions
🎨 The artist who sees beauty everywhere
💫 The dreamer who's about to change the world

Your senior portraits should tell YOUR story. Not a generic version. Not what everyone else is doing. Yours.

Because in 10 years, when you look back at these photos, you should see the exact moment you started believing in yourself.

The moment your story really began.

📸 Ready to tell your story? Send me a DM and let's create something amazing together.

Family portraits capture more than smiles. They preserve:
✨ The love that filled your home
📸 Moments of connection and joy 
💛 Your family's unique story

These aren't just photos for today — they're legacy images your kids will always look back on. Photos they'll treasure. Photos they'll show their own children someday.
