Kid-Led. Heart First. Photography.
So many family photographers. So little time..
I promise to walk into your hearts and meet your kids exactly where they are.
I want your kids to SEE and FEEL how spectacular they are, how much they mean to you, how deeply they’re loved and adored for precisely who they are.
Do they wear their underwear outside their pants ‘cause they're a superhero? Do their stuffies take up more room than you? Lego pirate ship builder? Keeper of Lost Cities adventurer? Obsessed with the letter F?
All of it is their story. And their story deserves to be told. Celebrated on walls, chronicled in storybooks of their years. Woven into your home, away from the damn screens.
The time to create something extraordinary for them to forever look back upon is now.
Let’s begin.
Family Photo Sessions
with Meredith…
-
1: Get to know me
Every session starts with a conversation.
You share your vision for the images and swoon-worthy artwork you want to walk away with, and I share how I make it all happen.
Wanna schedule a quick chat? Click ME.
I can’t wait to meet you.
-
2: Fun Time!
Think spontaneous and unposed. A casual hang where your kids take the lead. The result? Amazing heartfelt images and keepsakes to hug for all time.
Save the performances and fake smiles for your iphone. Your perfectly imperfect self belongs here.
-
3: Choose your Faves!
At your Virtual Reveal, you choose which images and products you love enough to purchase.
Some weeks later, your favorite memories and customized artwork arrive at your door.
Hugging, happy dances, and squeals of I'M SO HAPPY WE DID THIS begin.
Cue the chocolate.
I love that you capture OUR life as it is - the ups and downs, smiles and boo-boos, snacks and crafts. You capture that moment as it is and that is what we treasure.”
“I mean who just sits around in a nice pose with matching outfits and smiles? That is not real life.
—Hannah
Your moments matter
“Many family photographers were recommended to us. But none of them…
Consistently captured the moment, personalities, and the relationships of family members to each other that yours do.
— Nicole
Are you ready to create something super special?
For 20 years I’ve been photographing kids, families, and their pets. You can read more about me here.

You have me the entire time. And no, your kid(s) are not difficult! Bring them to me!
Through the years
Because watching your kids grow up is something you should be able to do whenever you want.
Investment
The family session fee is $650 for up to two hours of kid-led, joy-soaked, lovingly documented connection. And jokes. Fart jokes. Poop jokes. The more ridiculous the better.
Images, albums, and heirloom products are purchased separately during your Virtual Reveal—so you only invest in what makes your heart leap.
Most families spend around $9,000 on their curated collection of albums, wall art, prints, and digitals celebrating your story of now—before it all changes, and we get to do it all again next year.
Family Heirlooms
“Just the digitals” may be easy—but they can’t be hugged, passed down, or pulled off the shelf on a rainy day.
Let’s create something that lives in your home and in your hands—albums that sing your stories, artwork that juuuust miiiight slow the rush of growing up (maybe?).
My families return year after year to honor these fleeting, magical, vital chapters with tangible really great smelling heirlooms that last a lifetime.
Your family is your legacy.
Let’s preserve it in a way that feels as meaningful as the moments (and haircuts) themselves.
Heirloom Options
Heirlooms are selected & purchased separately from the session fee at your Virtual Reveal (ooooh nice).

FAQ

Yes, digital collections are available, but I’m about creating something special and meaningful for you. Tangible lasting artwork to experience away from all these damn screens.
Commercial printers leave your photos looking flat and prone to fade fast. I work exclusively with professional printers not available to the public. This insures everything you receive is vibrant, archival and something you’ll be proud to experience and share. Oh and guaranteed for a lifetime.
Don’t make photographers cry. Print your images preeeeetily (and professionally).
