Lifestyle family sessions have a special place in my heart. It’s always been so important to me to document families in real time, exactly how they are now. Through the phases that kiddos go through, to the activities that families enjoy doing together, it’s my job to portray the love of a family in the realest way possible.

When Julia and Connor first reached out to me about their decision to elope, the two weren’t entirely sure of the location, but they knew they wanted it to be unique. And what’s more unique of a setting than that of the architecture of the Beverly Hills Civic Center paired with the Griffith Observatory in Los Angeles?

When Lorraine and Shannon reached out to me about doing a lifestyle photoshoot in Santa Monica, I was super intrigued. Sure, I had captured tons of lifestyle photoshoots, but none this special or unique. You see, Lorraine is a retired Ford model. She lives in a bungalow in Santa Monica, tucked between mansions with the cutest backyard. When Lorraine’s granddaughter, Shannon, was scheduled to visit from the East Coast, the pair knew that they needed to document their time together.

I had the honor of traveling to Georgia awhile back to photograph the Rodriguez Family. Sherry and I went to college together throughout undergrad and graduate school, which made their session all the more special.

Liv and Jas opted for a Big Sur elopement in beautiful California. We started the day with coffee and vows as the couple got ready together. With their sweet pup by their side, Liv and Jas trekked along a local trail before returning back to their cabin to write their vows to one another.

Jordan and Blair’s adventure engagement session in Georgia was nothing short of amazing! We spent our time together adventuring around the Indian Seats area, taking in the views and watching the sun set before us.

In-home lifestyle sessions can sometimes feel intimidating, but I am here to tell you that these sessions are some of the most memorable. My brother and sister-in-law recently moved to Atlanta where their family grew by two. They welcomed twin boys and, alongside their spunky toddler, opted for a cozy in-home lifestyle session complete with the perfect outfits and the most beautifully decorated space.

Cory and Zach’s Joshua Tree National Park elopement was such an honor to capture! There’s just something so incredible about exploring the vastness of the desert, especially when that desert just so happens to be Joshua Tree and all that it encompasses.

Cozy in-home lifestyle sessions are the perfect way to take photos during the colder months, while simultaneously setting yourself up to be completely comfortable and in your own element. In-home photoshoots are also such a fun way to document some of your favorite activities, as well as milestone moments.
