Real Moments, Beautifully Captured

No stiff poses. No forced smiles. Just honest, emotive photography that reflects who you are. From bump to baby to family life in full swing, I’m here to tell your story—your way.

Let’s find the right session for you below.

Real Moments…Real You


My sessions are easygoing, fun, and anything but stiff. No forced smiles or rigid poses here—just real moments with the people you love most.

I’ll gently guide you as you play, laugh, and connect with your crew. That’s how we capture the magic—the emotion, the energy, the tiny in-between moments that tell your story.

My goal? For you to look at your photos and feel something every single time.

Because These Moments Matter

This season of life? It’s worth remembering—just as it is. From the quiet snuggles to the wild, giggly chaos, I’m here to capture it all.

My sessions are all about connection, emotion, and letting your family's true personality shine. No need to stress about perfect behavior or forced smiles—just show up as you are, and I’ll take care of the rest.

And yes, even dad will enjoy it (promise!).

Photographs That Grow More Precious Over Time

They really do grow up in the blink of an eye. One day it’s baby giggles, the next it’s muddy sneakers and missing teeth. These everyday moments—full of love, chaos, and connection—are the ones you’ll want to remember forever.

Investing in photography isn’t just about having pretty pictures. It’s about preserving the feeling of right now—so years from today, you can step back into this season and feel it all over again.

These images will only grow more meaningful with time—and I’d be honored to help you create them.

Your Family, Just as You Are

Love. Connection. Real Life.


No stiff poses. No forced smiles. Just the real, beautiful connection you share with your favorite people.

My sessions are designed to capture your family’s true dynamic—the laughter, the chaos, the quiet snuggles, and everything in between. It’s about more than pretty photos; it’s about freezing this season of life in a way that feels honest, emotional, and uniquely you.

These are the moments you’ll want to hold onto forever—and I’m here to help you remember them just the way they felt.

“Teresa was fantastic-she engaged our son for an hour, knew exactly how to capture our family, and delivered some of the best photos of our family we’ve ever had. Couldn’t recommend enough! Can’t wait to work with her again. “

 Faqs

  • The wardrobe is an essential part of having polished-looking portraits and I am here to help you with that. I provide wardrobe assistance for each session. This includes a wardrobe guide with the do’s and dont’s to styling your session. I also provide my clients with exclusive access to Style & Select, which is an online database run by photographers. You can shop for and coordinate your entire family’s wardrobe with ease through this site. I also have a client closet with dresses available on loan to moms. I am always available as a sounding board to provide input to help you finalize your choices.

  • All packages listed are for immediate family members only. If you wish to include extended family members, please contact me for the pricing. Your session will require extra session time and editing time, which is why there is an additional fee.

  • As these are not fully processed or artistically enhanced images, I do not release Raw and unedited images. The final gallery contains the best images from your collection.

  • I hand edit each and very image form your gallery. I begin with color correction and then enhancement of light, sky and other details. I then edit every individual photo in Photoshop where I make further artistic enhancements and I also smooth skin, brighten eyes and remove stray hairs.

  • You are not obligated to print through me, but I highly recommend using a reputable printer. I set the printing cost low to encourage clients to print through the professional lab. I can’t guarantee the quality of prints printed through an outside lab, as I am not calibrated nor affiliated with those labs. I also offer custom albums and print packages. Just message me for more info.

  • I leave room in my calendar for the possibility of rain. If it rains, we will reschedule to the next available date. I do not reschedule due to cloudy weather. In fact, cloudy days provide perfect lighting for sessions.

  • You will receive an online gallery link with all your photos within 2 weeks after your session time. You can download your photos from the gallery. The gallery allows you to share with family and also provides you with access to professional printing services.

  • Mini sessions are offered during the Fall for the holidays and typically involve sets, props and most of my locations require permits and time limitations, thus limiting my flexibility.

    These sessions are 15-20 minutes in length and are appointment-based.  Multiple families are photographed each day.  I make every effort to capture your child in the allotted time, but, for mini sessions, I am forced to work within the constraints of your appointment time.

    Although I don’t offer mini sessions throughout the remainder of the year, I often run promotions for regular sessions that are posted through my newsletter . Those spots tend to book up quickly.  Message me if you would like to be added to either of those groups. 

  • Your gallery will remain active for 60 days and I archive images for 90 days as a courtesy. Please download and backup your images.

Our Services

As a mom, I know how busy and chaotic life with kids can be and my goal is to help you to remember each and every moment. A family session is an opportunity to unwind and have some fun with your family in a beautiful and natural setting. My approach to photography is personal, candid, and light-hearted, and never uptight or rigid. Your images will be packed with emotion and not rigid and posed.

There is nothing as special as those first moments home with your baby. As a mom, I know how fast the newborn phase goes by and I want to help you to remember those first moments. My newborn sessions take place right in the comfort of your own home. My goal is to capture the connection and bond that exists within your family. So, instead of photographing your baby in an endless array of props and outfits, I will capture you and your family interacting with your new bundle of joy.

Each and every moment deserves to be properly documented so that you can remember and treasure it for years to come. Portrait sessions include senior photos, first birthdays, cake smashes, communions, maternity photos, six-month sitter sessions, Sweet 16’s, graduation, pet photography, or to document any special milestone in life.

The process

Step 01

After booking, you complete a questionnaire that helps me to get to know your family and your goals for the session. Getting to know you and your family is what helps me to capture intimate and relaxed images.

Step 02

What you wear will impact the mood and vibe of your images. I help you to curate and plan your wardrobe. I have a client closet with women’s dresses available and I can send over a custom wardrobe board for your family. The wardrobe planning process takes some time, but it is all worth it in the end.

Step 03

Sessions are scheduled with at sunrise or one hour prior to sunset. We will meet at the location and have some fun for about an hour or so. Expect to laugh, cuddle, play and unwind. I will capture lots of memories for you and your family.

Step 04

I edit your gallery of images. This is where the magic begins. I carefully and artistically enhance each and every image in your gallery. This includes color correction, light enhancements, skin retouching, removal of stray hairs and more. I want your gallery to be a masterpiece and I take my time on the images. Editing a full gallery can take me anywhere from 12-16 hours.

Step 05

In 1-2 weeks, you receive your proofing gallery of edited images. You will choose your images and then they are delivered via full resolution download. At this time, you can add more images to your package if you wish. You are also able to share the gallery with friends and family.
