frame your family 

Whether it’s tiny toes or watching your legacy grow, I’m ready to catch your smile!

Have you ever scrolled through your photos on your phone and realized… “I’m not in any of these,” because you’re the one taking all the photos? OR if you are in them, it’s an unflattering selfie. I’m here to solve that problem!

As a dedicated family and newborn photographer serving Raleigh, Wake Forest, and Youngsville, I specialize in capturing those precious moments that define your family’s unique story. From the tender first days with your newborn to the laughter-filled gatherings with your loved ones, my goal is to provide you with beautiful, true-to-life portraits that you can proudly display and cherish forever. Let’s make a pact… we’re going to get some better photos of you on that camera roll!

Newborn Photography

Welcoming a new baby into your family is one of life’s most magical moments. My newborn portrait sessions are all about capturing those sweet, fleeting moments in a natural and heartfelt way. I come to your home, bringing everything needed to create a comfortable and stress-free environment. With a focus on true-to-life, light, and airy photos, I aim to highlight the pure joy and love that your new addition brings. Every tiny detail, from those little toes to sleepy yawns, will be beautifully documented.

  • The Newborn Package is a comprehensive two-hour session that beautifully captures both your new baby and your family. This session is designed to provide ample time for a variety of cherished shots, including family group photos, individual portraits of each family member, intimate moments with just you and your husband, and those precious solo portraits of your newborn.

    Because we understand that newborns need extra care and patience, this session allows for breaks to feed and comfort your baby, ensuring a relaxed and enjoyable experience for everyone. This package combines the essence of two sessions into one, offering exceptional value and plenty of time to capture all those special moments without the rush. That’s why it’s priced more affordably than a typical two-hour session.

    Let’s create timeless memories of your newest addition in a calm and nurturing environment.

  • To book your newborn photo session, we'll start by setting a tentative date around your due date. Once your little one arrives, simply reach out to me within a day or two. We'll then schedule a flexible session date for the following week, typically 3-5 days after delivery. This date is adjustable, giving you the freedom to reschedule if you need a bit more time to recover. Your comfort and well-being are my top priorities as we plan to capture these precious early moments.

  • Here are all the exciting details! The newborn photography session includes all photographer-selected images, ensuring you receive a complete and beautifully curated gallery. Within 48 hours, I'll send you some sneak peek photos. Approximately 2-3 weeks after your session, you'll receive an online digital gallery filled with hand-edited photos, lovingly crafted just for you. This user-friendly platform allows you to view, download, and share your images effortlessly. You can download all your photos in full resolution or web-size resolution at no additional cost! Sharing your gallery with friends and family is as simple as clicking a button!

    Plus, my packages include travel within 60 miles of Youngsville, NC. All taxes, insurance, and professional licensing are covered in the package prices, so there are no hidden fees. Your stunning memories are ready to be cherished and shared!

Family Photography

Family is everything, and each family has its own unique dynamic and love story. My family portrait sessions are designed to capture the genuine connections and joy that make your family special. Whether we choose the lush scenery of E. Carroll Joyner Park in Wake Forest, the historic charm of Downtown Raleigh, or the serene beauty of the Wake Forest Reservoir, I ensure a relaxed and enjoyable experience for everyone. Let’s create stunning, light, and airy images that showcase your family's bond in the most authentic way.

  • Our family sessions are designed to capture the love and connections that make your family unique. Typically lasting one hour at a location of your choice, these sessions are all about fun and togetherness. We start with large group photos of the whole family and then move on to individual portraits and creative combinations of all family members.

    For parties larger than 8 people, I recommend booking an additional hour to ensure we have ample time to capture every special moment. Whether you're looking for a scenic park or a cozy home setting, we'll find the perfect backdrop to frame your family's story.

  • I love coming to your home or holding your session in local parks! I hold an annual photographer's pass for all Raleigh parks, so there's no extra charge for having a session there. Here are some locations I recommend:
