Adventure Session

A fun filled family photo experience

You're here because you want something different. You want to skip the dime-a-dozen photogaphers and hire someone you know will do an amazing job! You're over the stiff poses and stale smiles and you just want someone who will take the time to get to know your family and capture everyone in a flattering, artistic, and fun way.

You're in the right place!

So how do I do it?

what's the secret sauce?

...we play!

After many years of photographing families, I've found my sweet spot. My thing. My secret sauce. And it's capturing joy!

I've also found that how everyone feels during the family photo session is just as important as how the pictures look afterwards. 

So I've taken that knowledge and turned it into an experience. One that is low stress, joy filled, and memorable. From outfit selection, choosing a location, what to do at the photo session, and ordering printed photos, I'm here with you every step of the way!

Adventure, Love, Play

At my Family Adventure Sessions, I guide you to play with your kids. I give you prompts to encourage joy and genuine laughter. All you need to do is show up ready to have fun with your kids, and I'll work my magic! (No need to even ask where to put your hands!)

If you want a photo experience filled with adventure, love, low stress and capturing joy-filled family relationships, then I'm your girl!  

Let's do this!

it was an effortless session” 

Kyla was so amazing to work with! She was in my city and state in unfamiliar territory AND we ended up having to switch locations due to unforeseen circumstances and it was an effortless session anyway!! She's great with the kids and has good techniques for getting fun and candid action photos too!

Frequently Asked Questions

When you book a photo session with me, not only will you be sent a Style Guide, you'll also have access to my Client Closet and personal wardrobe styling. I'm always available for outfit suggestions, and tips on what outfits look best together! 

In the questionnaire I send you, I'll ask you what type of location you are looking for (urban, rural, grassy field, etc.) and I'll suggest some places based off of your feed back. 

Your session fee includes 65+ digital images delivered to you in an online gallery & app. From there you can easily view, download, share & purchase print through my professional printing options. The best of both worlds!

I sure do! I've done photo sessions in over 15 states across the U.S. and am always up for an adventure! Message me for my travel rates.  

I offer limited sessions per year. Booking a date with me requires a non refundable deposit because it is taking that date away from other potential clients. Cancelling ends up costing me money. If you need to cancel or reschedule, it will require another deposit. 

Lucky for you, I take all the stress of weather watching off of you! Believe it or not, cloudy and windy days can be part of the recipe for amazing photos. But if the forecast is looking poor for the day of your photo session (rain, too much wind, etc.), I'll reach out a few days before and we'll reschedule for no extra charge. 

You can expect to receive your digital gallery 3 weeks after your photo session date. 

I edit light, bright and true to color, and focus my edits on color correction, cropping, and straightening. I fully believe you are beautiful the way you are, so I do not smoothen skin or liquify in photoshop, but instead I focus on capturing you in the most flattering poses at our photo session. If requested, I do minimal editing for temporary things like acne, scrapes, bruises etc. Reach out if you have specific questions on editing.
