Life runs a mile a minute. Conflicting schedules, messy kitchens, the never ending pile of laundry, and making sure everyone is still surviving. You likely don't get the opportunity to notice and soak up the love and beauty that is your own family.
Time is a thief. As the days go by all of sudden your little baby is going to school in just a blink of an eye. I want you to soak up as many moments as you can. This feels impossible, but I am here to give you the opportunity to do just that.
Getting family photos doesn't have to be a stressful experience. I am here to ensure the process is easy, the experience is fun, and you are left with the gift of remembering your family in their most beautiful and authentic light.
Let me show you the beauty of your family.

To begin, please fill out the form on my contact page linked below to get in touch with me. Once that is submitted, you will hear back from me within 24 hours. This email will include the detailed pricing guide. You will then be prompted to schedule a consultation call with me.
The Family Experience
After our consultation, I will send you a proposal, contract, and invoice. Once you sign the contract and pay the non-refundable retainer fee, you are officially booked and we can get started with planning your session!
Once we are officially booked, we can start planning your in-home session. We will dig into the details of what we want the photos to look like, how you want your family to be remembered, what everyone should wear, and how to make this the best experience possible.
Session day! I approach our session with direction right away and then as we get more comfortable we will let life naturally unfold in front of us. Let your kids be kids - chaos will likely happen and honestly I will likely encourage it! I promise you these are the photos that will feel the most special. All I need you to do is smile and enjoy these moments. In my years of photographing families there have never been perfect smiling posed kiddos and you don't want them to be. Their natural personalities are exactly what I want to capture.
About 2-3 weeks after our session you will receive a gallery link to your photos! Cuddle up with your fam and go through all the beauty while laughing, crying, and soaking up the love you have for your people and your home. :)

On our 10-15 min consultation call, we will chat about your family, what you are wanting from these photos, and how I can bring your vision to life. I will go through the pricing and all the details so you know exactly what to expect.

Josie does a fantastic job! She took our newborn photos and she was so sweet with our little babe, even though he was not having it. I was shocked when Josie sent our album, she got so many beautiful shots of our family and we are forever grateful and cannot wait to book her again!

"I truly think it was Josie's help and attention to detail that made my wedding flow so smoothly. There is nothing about my day that I look back on and want to change. And if I do want to look back on my day I have every moment captured and I am able to relive it over and over again."
J & R
"Every session Josie has done for us has been beautiful! She works her absolute hardest to capture the best possible photos. We are so happy with the products we received, and the fun we had while shooting with Josie!"
