2026 Pricing Guide 

Each session is carefully designed to be meaningful, relaxed, and focused on capturing your family exactly as you are.

You’ll receive a private online gallery and can choose the collection that fits your family most beautifully — from a few cherished images to your full story.

 Together, we’ll come up with ideas, pick out outfits, and plan all the little details to make your session feel personal, meaningful, and perfectly you. I’ll send over a session guide to help you feel relaxed and ready, and you’ll also find extra tips and inspiration on the blog to make the whole experience even smoother.

An Annual Family
Storytelling Package*

Your family story is unfolding every single day — in big moments and in beautifully ordinary ones. The Legacy Year is designed to help you preserve those precious chapters in a meaningful, stress-free, and deeply personal way.

From birthdays and milestones to family traditions and quiet in-between moments, you’ll walk away with a treasure trove of memories you’ll be proud to pass down for generations.

  • Birthday sessions for each child
  • Annual family portraits

  • Milestone or “day-in-the-life” lifestyle sessions
Package Perks:

 Special discounted rate for booking all sessions together

One custom-designed album at year’s end documenting your family’s journey

* The Legacy Year package is available with an easy and convenient payment plan—so you can enjoy meaningful, year-round storytelling without the stress of a one-time payment.

If the thought of being in front of the camera makes you feel a little uncomfortable, you’re not alone. Most families feel that way at first — even I do when I’m the one being photographed.

The good news? You don’t have to know what to do. That’s my job.
I gently guide you the entire time so you’re never left wondering where to stand or how to pose. Nothing stiff. Nothing forced. Just natural movement, connection, and moments that unfold in a way that feels like you.

And as for the kids — they don’t need to sit still. They don’t need to perform. I meet them exactly where they are, whether they’re shy, silly, thoughtful, or full of energy. Some of the most beautiful images happen in the in-between moments — the giggles, the snuggles, the wild little bursts of personality.

You don’t have to be perfect. You just have to show up as your family. I’ll take care of the rest.

We Are Akward.. and my kids won't sit still

The earlier you reach out, the better — especially for spring and fall when dates tend to fill quickly. Booking ahead simply gives us more breathing room to choose a date that feels right for your family.

But please don’t overthink it.

Once you book, I walk you through everything — from planning to wardrobe to making sure the kids feel relaxed and excited. You won’t be left wondering what to do next. We’ll dream it up together, and the process is meant to feel simple, supported, and even a little fun.

The booking itself is easy and done entirely online — just a few clicks, and we’re officially on the calendar. From there, we get to start creating something beautiful.

Next:  We Are Akward and my kids won't sit still

I completely understand this question. In a world of phone photos and quick snapshots, it’s easy to wonder if a custom session is truly necessary. But you’re not investing in “just pictures.” You’re preserving this exact season of your family’s life — the missing teeth, the way your toddler still fits perfectly on your hip, the way your child reaches for your hand without thinking. These details change quietly and quickly, often before we realize they’re gone.

And in so many everyday photos, you’re the one behind the camera. You’re capturing the memories, but you’re not in them. These images are different. They include you — your arms, your laughter, the way your children look at you. One day, that will matter deeply to them.

Years from now, when you hold a printed image in your hands, it won’t feel like an expense. It will feel like time you chose to keep.

Is this really worth the investment?
