bits of pieces of my story and bits and pieces of yours.

I am excited to be offering front porch sessions for a limited time! I know this is such a crazy time in all of our lives, staying home, working from home, parenting from home…we’re just home. I know there are various struggles and triumphs you are facing as well, and honestly, I would love to document that for you.
I am offering complimentary 10 minute front porch sessions with digital files available for purchase afterwards. Professional quality prints are also available for purchase in your client gallery. Because these sessions are so short, I would ideally like to come to your neighborhood to photograph your family with 3-4 others. If this sounds like something you would be interested in, gather a few neighbors and send me an email!
Can’t wait to see you!

I had to opportunity to document the beautiful collaboration between Mollie Code of Studio Code and Parachute Home here in Chicago. The shoot featured lovely kitchen and bath linens as well as bedding from Parachute home, through Mollie’s gorgeous renovated Wicker Park town home.

Hey, if you want photos of you and your family that capture you all in a way that doesn’t just remind you what you look like, but what your family feels like, send me an email. I’d love to chat with you! In the mean time, if you want to see some more lovely family sessions, you might enjoy this post or this one.
One more thing, if just the thought of prepping your whole family for a photo session stresses you out, download my free guide to getting the whole family photo ready!

In case you hadn’t noticed around here, I’ve gotten really into in home family portraits.
For me, they just makes sense. They mesh the parts that really matter to me in life: family, space, story.
They feel authentic and beautiful and I love seeing the way these pieces come together to tell your family’s own narrative. If you have been on the fence about whether you should have an in home family session or something outdoors, here are a few reasons why in home sessions are my absolute favorite!
And before you tell me your home is not photo worthy…trust me, we make it work. Besides, all you really need is one good window ;)

1. I believe that family and the space you have created to inhabit are deeply personal. The two intertwined tell the most beautiful story of your life. I want to celebrate YOUR story. The one you work so hard day in and day out to create. The one where messes and fights happen, but where make ups and kitchen dances also do. This is your home. It’s where the love happens. I want to be there documenting all of that for you to look back on and see in years to come, and say, wow….we really made a pretty amazing life together.

2. They are unique. After all, isn’t your family unlike anyone else’s? I mean, really…why should your photos look like any other family when you have your own vibrant, unique story happening right under your roof every day?

3. Your kids have a chance to act like themselves and be kids for their photos. And that is what I am after. I really am not after cheesy family photos. There. I said it. I don’t want everyone looking perfect, because that’s not what real life is! Sure, I will always get that framer photo for grandma, and you, because…posterity. But let’s celebrate together the crazy season you’re in! Your kids are kids, they love to paint on themselves and run through sprinklers and play, don’t you want to remember those beautiful moments? I know I do!
