don't wait: capture the chaos and magic of family

Family life can be A LOT

The laundry never ends, someone always needs a snack (even though they just ate), and your calendar is pure madness. So it’s no surprise that the idea of family photos sometimes gets pushed to “when things settle down.”

But here's the truth: the chaos is the magic.

These are the days you’ll miss — yes, even the loud, messy, chaotic ones. This season of life, where Halloween costumes are year-round and the living room is a dance floor? That’s the good stuff.

And it deserves to be remembered.

Don't Wait for "PERFECT"

If you’ve ever thought, we'll sign up for photos:

  •  When everyone can behave for 20 minutes
  •  Once I lose the baby weight
  •  After those braces come off

I feel you. You are NOT alone.

But here’s the truth: perfection is a myth.

The giggles, the chaos, even the braces — those aren’t things to “fix.” They’re the very reason you’re getting photos in the first place.

Your family doesn’t need to look like a magazine spread. They just need to look like YOU.

There is MAGIC in the Messy

Muddy knees. Frosting-covered cheeks. A glittery explosion that never quite disappears.

That’s the stuff they’ll remember.

And honestly? That’s the stuff that makes the best photos.

From smashing cakes to jumping in puddles, kids LOVE the green light to make a mess.

But please don't confuse “messy” with “unusable” — some of my all-time favorite photos are when kids are so in their element they completely forget there is a camera.

That’s real. That’s what we’re going for.

Holiday Minis for the W

Listen — holiday mini sessions are the MVP of family photoshoots.

These aren’t the stiff, formal portraits of your childhood.

These are quick, relaxed, personality-packed little sessions designed to capture who your family really is — right now.

They’re perfect for holiday cards, gifts for the grandparents, or simply a way to mark the end of another beautifully chaotic year.

Best part? You’re in and out in 20 minutes (or less), and you’ll walk away with photos that make you pause and say “Ok, I’m really glad we did that”. 🤎

Embrace Right Now

Here’s your official permission to stop waiting.

Don’t wait for calm.
Don’t wait for “easier.”
Don’t wait for that tooth to grow in.

Book the session anyway.

Because these wild, sweet, busy days? They’re not forever. And one day you’ll wish you had more than just the camera roll on your phone to remember them by 🤎
