It’s no secret that family photoshoots can feel super stressful at times. From coordinating outfits to getting everyone ready and out of the house on schedule, there are so many factors that go into a family photoshoot. Lucky for you, family photoshoots are some of my favorite, and as someone who has photographed hundreds of families, I’ve learned lots of tips and tricks over the years to help you pull off an amazing family photoshoot.

Joshua Tree National Park is one of my favorite places to visit both personally and professionally. You can imagine my excitement when Megan and Taylor inquired with me and told me all about their plans to elope in Joshua Tree. From the first moment we spoke, I knew that their elopement was going to go down in history as one of my all tome favorites.

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.
