You’re a fabulous mom.


You love your kid beyond how you thought you could ever love.
You have a blast with them.
You cherish dearly the small moments and all the emotion of your every day.
You want to remember all of this… always!

the time for you

to get in the photo is now

I totally get it… believe me! I do. We all have insecurities. But your kids think you’re the most beautiful person in the world. And this time in their lives is so so short. There is nothing more important than today. You may think you need to wait until you lose just five more pounds, or wait for this or that… but as the mom of an 18-year-old who truly doesn’t know where the time went and didn’t take enough photos with her… I’m telling you, don’t wait for anything. You will LOVE these photographs simply because your feelings will shine through more than all the things in your head that no one else sees… especially as time passes. You are beautiful and your life is, too. Now go make photos with your kids!

You want your sweet kids to have real life photographs with you

Portrait Play Date Details

This is a limited edition group session for moms + kids of a similar age. Only 4 moms + their kid(s) are invited per session. These moms may know each other, or they may not! It’s a great opportunity to make new local friends that have kids. Even though this is a group session, I focus on making photographs of each mom with her child vs. the group.

A few common questions:

Why photograph in a group?
It’s a fun way to split the cost of a full session retainer. I don’t love the rush and stress of a short time slot of mini sessions, so this is my answer! With the Portrait Playdate, you get a nice chunk of time to just focus on playing with the person you love most, while making new friends!

Can I do a portrait session just me and my kiddo?
Absolutely! You would simply book a story session.

When are they?
I try to do them once a month. This is still a new type of session for me, so stay close, stay tuned for when they’re announced! (That means join my email list , or fill out my Portrait Playdate form. Another option is to host a Portrait Playdate! Hosting simply means gathering 2 of your friends with their kids and letting me know you’d like to schedule a Playdate. We’ll find a date and do it!

Are the Portrait Playdates always at the beach?
So far they have been, but I have some other ideas if the beach is not your jam, and I’m open to discussing an idea you may have!

Cost. Tell me the cost.
The session retainer for one child is $595 and includes one 16x20 fine art matted print and 5 digital images. Optional upgrades available. You save $600 off a normal session with this artwork included!

I’d absolutely love to answer any other questions you have.
