There is just something so special about seeing kids be themselves. Laughing with scrunched noses, being moody with their head in the hands, giving a kiss to their baby sibling, doing the chores, running wild. I could go on and on. These are the things I love capturing during your family session.
Through my family experience we take the time up front to plan all the details. Where we want to be, how we want the session to feel, what are the noises we want to hear, what do we want everyone to wear, what activities will we do, what are the emotions we want to remember forever?
The days are flying by and there's no stopping it. All we can do is soak it all up. I am here to take these fleeting moments and preserve them for a lifetime. The last thing I want to do is put your family in a box, tell you to say cheese, and move onto the next pose. I want to tell your story authentically to you. I want to get to know the personalities in front of me and highlight them.
Hand on heart, my energy will not only go towards creating a gorgeous collection of images, but to also tell your story honestly.

I have always had a deep love for true connection between humans. Photography is nothing if not personal. Learning your story is the foundation of all the magic in this artistic process. I love meeting new people, connecting, relating, and learning. I will never know everything I want to in this lifetime, see the many things I want to see, and be all the things I want to be. But I can create art. And that is more than enough.

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!"
