I’m a family photographer who’s first and foremost a mom. I believe your love deserves to be seen and celebrated. Life isn’t about posed perfection—it’s about the laughter, the quiet snuggles, the playful chaos, and the deep bonds that make your family yours.

You don’t have to worry about stiff poses or getting everything “just right.” I’ll guide you every step of the way, making sure your session feels effortless, fun, and—most importantly—true.

We will capture moments that are worth remembering. Whether it’s the joy in your child’s laughter or the way they fit in your arms.

Your family life is made up of messy, mundane, and magical moments…

Cleaning up spilled milk, bandaging a scraped knee, wiping off a dirty face, whispering “I love you”, snuggling on the couch, and settling in for a bedtime story. Ordinary everyday moments that will one day feel like long lost treasures.

You want to remember how these moments feel. You want reminders of these kind, creative, curious little humans who grow too fast and are so enjoyable in totally different ways. You want beautiful photos, of you with your family, that proclaim: “This is who we are—warm, joyful, full of life and unconditional love.”

“To be fully seen by somebody, then, and be loved anyhow – this is a human offering that can border on miraculous.” – Elizabeth Gilbert

“Our family photography experience exceeded my expectations. Theresa was able to get our family to have fun together and make the photos feel natural for the whole family. I was worried my kids wouldn’t cooperate but she had lots of tricks and ideas to get them to participate and have fun. We had a great experience. Theresa’s professionalism and preparedness helped us get ready for the session and actually enjoy our time as a family doing photos together.”

More Than Just Photos—Proof of Your Family’s Love

Anyone can take a picture. But I don’t just want to give you photos—I want to give you something real.

I want to give you proof of the love you share—the kind you can hold in your hands, hang on your walls, and look back on years from now, remembering not just what it looked like, but what it felt like.

Because these moments? They matter. And so do you.

Turn the intangible feeling of togetherness into something you can see.

Your family is like no other, and your photography session should be too.

With some input from you, we’ll tailor your session to capture the warmth, joy, and connection that defines your family and helps you feel at ease.

If you feel nervous, that’s completely normal—but don’t worry, I’ll be there to guide you every step of the way. With a friendly, relaxed approach and some fun prompts, your session will soon feel as natural as spending time with a close friend.
