the in-between moments

 

 

 

 

You'll usually find me dancing around, making fake farting noises,
and doing whatever it takes to get the real smiles.

 

 

 

Don’t get me wrong — we’ll absolutely grab a few of those smiling-at-the-camera photos for grandma. But the moments I find myself returning to most are usually the in-between ones.


The way your daughter reaches for your hand.

The way your toddler melts into your shoulder halfway through the session.

The laugh that only happens when nobody’s trying too hard.


My goal isn’t perfection. It’s connection.


I want your session to feel relaxed, playful, and genuinely you. We’ll walk, dance, take snack breaks, chase toddlers, and probably bribe someone with goldfish at some point. No pressure.


Years from now, I want you to look back at your images and remember exactly what this season of life felt like.

FAQ

01. What if my kids don’t cooperate?

Honestly? You have absolutely nothing to worry about. My own two children are probably my worst-behaved clients and somehow we still end up with beautiful photos.


I promise your kids do not need to sit perfectly still or smile at the camera the entire time. Some of the sweetest images happen in the chaos, the movement, and the in-between moments.

 

02. What should we wear?

 

Once you book, I can send over styling tips to help with colors, textures, and coordinating outfits without feeling too “matchy.”


The goal is for everyone to feel comfortable, confident, and like themselves. Soft neutrals, movement, and outfits you can actually live in always photograph beautifully.

 

03. Where do sessions take place?

 

I offer studio, outdoor, in-home, school, and community sessions throughout Rochester and surrounding areas.

 

 

04. WHAT DO SESSIONS FEEL LIKE?

My sessions are relaxed, movement-based, and kid-led. I’ll guide you every step of the way while still leaving room for real moments to unfold naturally. No pressure. No stiff posing. No expecting toddlers to act like tiny adults.

 

05. How long until we receive our gallery?

 

I like to be quick on my feet over here — most galleries are delivered within 1–2 weeks depending on the season and session type.


(And yes… I’m usually way too excited to make you wait very long.)

Come as you are —

chaos, goldfish crackers, and all.
