Before her session, Maggie warned me, “My boys won’t last more than 20 minutes.” She wasn’t wrong. One was all in, the other wanted nothing to do with having his picture taken. I've been there -one of my own kids used to feel the same way about photos. So I came prepared: books, fluffy balls, a stuffy, and even a vase of fresh flowers with googly eyes.

We jumped off boulders, hid the flowers in the grass, and the boys picked which ones to give their parents. Maggie and her husband let out a big laugh when they saw the googly-eyed flower, and it made the best shot.

When she got her gallery, Maggie said, “We can’t believe you got these. We love them.”

As your Reno family photographer, that’s what I want every family to feel -that their photos aren’t just pretty, they’re real. Honest portraits of your people and your story.

Reno Portrait Photographer

From your initial contact to delivery of your images, I prioritize making this experience stress-free and enjoyable.

a guided journey, made just for your family

The Process

After your session, I hand-edit your images with care. Most galleries are ready within three weeks (four during busy season). You’ll receive a link to your online gallery where you can download and share high-res images and order professional prints. Your included album arrives at your doorstep within six weeks.

Your memories, beautifully delivered

After Your Session

I plan our session around the best light -typically just before sunset. We’ll meet at the chosen location, and I’ll spend the first few minutes helping everyone ease in. Nervous kids? Camera-shy grownups? Totally normal. I’m great at reading the energy and gently guiding without stiff poses. I focus on connection and play, and I promise, even the most hesitant family members tend to forget the camera is there. If this is a newborn session, I will send a guide made just for you!

natural, relaxed, and fun

The Session

Once you're ready to book your session, please reach out using the contact form on this site. After your session is booked, I’ll send over a contract and a request for a 50% deposit. The remainder of your balance is due the day of the session. Once those are squared away, you'll get access to my Client Lounge, a resource full of helpful tips on locations, outfits, and more. We'll also schedule a quick call so I can learn more about your family -what makes you happy and anything I should know to make your session comfortable and easy.

Getting ready, together
