The S Family | A Formal Family Session

Dressing up for family pictures may sound like a chore, but it can actually be a fun experience! Whether you're coordinating outfits or going all out with matching themes, dressing up for family photos can bring a sense of unity and excitement to the occasion, and that is exactly what this family did!

One of the best parts about dressing up for family pictures is the opportunity to get creative and express your unique style. You can experiment with different colors, patterns, and textures to create a cohesive and eye-catching look that highlights your family's personality. Plus, it's a great excuse to go shopping and find new outfits that make you feel confident and stylish. I love how this family used mom's red dress as the anchor, and built the other outfits around it.

Certain styles can really bring a sense of occasion and make the experience feel special. When everyone puts in effort to look their best, it creates a sense of unity and togetherness that can be captured in the photos. Plus, it's a great opportunity to take some time out of your busy lives to spend quality time together and create lasting memories.

Dressing up may require some extra effort, but it can be a fun and rewarding experience that brings your family closer together. And who doesn't enjoy looking like they just stepped off the cover of a magazine?! So, embrace the opportunity to get creative and have some fun with your family's wardrobe for your next photo session!

This year, I had the opportunity to photograph this gorgeous family for the first time. We met at a beautiful, local Christmas Tree Farm in, what felt like, a blizzard!

This summer, I had the pleasure of working with this beautiful family from the DC area! They were up visiting family and asked if I would do their session while they were in town.

Grandchildren Love | An Extended Family Session

Lauren reached out to me to photograph her sweet grandchildren over the summer. As you can imagine, trying to find a day when everyone is available can be quite a challenge. When some stars aligned and she was able to gather the three boys at the same time, we took full advantage! There were some smiles, some tears, and LOTS of animal crackers! Would we have it any other way?!
