Hold On to This Season


Because life doesn’t pause, but photos can.

Not every day is picture-perfect. But every season is worth remembering.


Let’s Make Some Magical Memories

This Isn’t Your Average “Smile for the Camera” Session

If you’re looking for matching outfits and stiff poses, we might not be the right fit.

But if you’re down to:

Let your kids run wild in the woods

Snuggle in the grass with the love of your life

Say yes to bare feet, messy hair, and magic in the in-between

...then you’re my kind of people.

I’m Jamie. Photographer, boy mom, and chaos enthusiast. I document the kind of moments you’ll want back someday—and I make sure you get to be in them, too.


What Your Session Could Look Like

Golden Hour Chase

Instead of: “Everyone say cheese!”
You’re: Racing through fields, kids laughing, sun dipping low

Cozy Storytime

Instead of: “Look over here!”
You’re: Wrapped up on a blanket, reading the same book for the fifth time, and loving it

Beach Chaos

Instead of: “Let’s try that again”
You’re: Letting them jump in waves with their clothes still on

Adventuring Together

Instead of: “Stand still”
You’re: Wandering a forest trail, collecting sticks and memories

“Real Moments, Real Memories” When every messy moment becomes a treasure

Who These Sessions Are For

Couples who want to freeze this moment in their timeline

Families who value connection over perfection

Parents who know the days are long, but the years are fast

Anyone who wants photos that feel like life, not a photoshoot

The Family Session Experience

Being a mom to two boys, I know the real magic is in the prep. I don’t just show up and wing it—I get to know your goals, your chaos level, your kids’ quirks, and what lights your family up.

Before Your Session

  • Questionnaire: I take knowing your name seriously
  • Location scouting tailored to your vibe (and needs)
  • Golden hour scheduling
  • Outfit guidance you’ll actually want to follow
  • Prepping ideas that make it feel fun, not forced

During Your Session

  • Movement-based prompts (not stiff poses)
  • Snack breaks, as needed
  • Encouraging wild moments, not taming them
  • Capturing the kind of memories you can feel later

Not Just a Photographer

A Fellow Human in the Mess.

I’m a mom to two boys (and trying hard not to become that kind of boy mom), a snack-pack carrier, a timeline dodger, and a big believer that the best photos happen when no one’s looking at the camera.

I built this business for people like us—the ones who know real life is never still, never perfect, and always worth remembering.

Here’s what I bring to your session:

Matched energy so don’t worry about wild kids with me, I am a wild kid!

A trained eye for the kind of moments that matter later

Deep care for capturing connection over perfection

The patience of someone who gets kids—and grown-ups, too

FAQs—Fast and Real

Save Your Sunset Session
Q

What if my kids don’t cooperate?

A

Perfect. We don’t need them to. Some of the best moments come from letting them lead.

Q

What should we wear?

A

Whatever makes you feel like yourselves. Comfort first, always.

Q

When are normal session times?

A

Golden hour (that dreamy light right before sunset or sunrise)

Q

What if the weather’s bad?

A

We can reschedule—or lean into it. Rainy day sessions are magic.

Q

Do you bring snacks?

A

Of course. I’m a parent too.


Let’s Make This Happen

No pressure. No performative perfection.
Just you, your people, and a photographer who knows how fast it all goes.
