You don’t have to get everything “just right” to love your family photos.
I’m an Erie, Colorado family photographer who helps families feel at ease with simple guidance, so the experience feels easy from the very beginning.
If you’re feeling a little nervous about family photos… you’re not alone.
Most families need a little time to get comfortable, even the ones who look completely relaxed in their photos.
You might be wondering whether your kids will cooperate, whether anyone will feel awkward, or what happens if things don’t go the way you pictured.
It doesn’t have to go perfectly. I’ll give you room to settle in and guide you as we go.
I’ll guide you through it
You won’t have to figure out what to do or manage every moment.
During your session, I’ll pay attention to what your family needs and adjust as we go.
Here’s what that looks like:
- Offering simple prompts instead of stiff poses.
- Giving your kids space to be themselves, with gentle redirection when it helps.
- Keeping things moving so nothing feels awkward or stuck.
- Noticing the moments that are already happening and helping you lean into them.
You can focus on being with your family. I’ll take care of the rest.

“Theresa is lovely to work with and she excels at photographing families. We’re always impressed by how quickly she’s able to direct us to get beautiful photos, in a way that feels comfortable and natural. We’re big fans of hers and will continue working with her as our kiddos get older.”

Fall Mini Session in Erie, Colorado
What you’ll walk away with
Not just photos.
Photos that remind you what this season feels like.
You’ll see:
• The way your kids lean into you without thinking.
• The way your family fits together right now.
• The small moments you didn’t even realize were happening.
Photos that feel like your family. Not a version of you trying to get everything “right.”
Because this season—messy, full, and meaningful—is worth keeping.
A look at real family sessions
Every family is different. These stories from real sessions around Erie, Colorado give you a feel for what’s possible, and what might feel right for your family.
The Perrott's Outdoor Family Session
The Schroer's Extended Family Session

These aren’t formal, perfectly posed portraits.
They’re moments that happen when a family is relaxed enough to just be together.
Some are playful.
Some are tender.
Some are right in between.
All of them are real and that’s what makes them worth keeping.
Hi, I’m Theresa
I’m an Erie family photographer, a wife, and a mom of four boys who isn’t easily fazed and understands how much these moments matter—even when they feel a little messy.
I notice the in-between things. The way your child reaches for you without thinking. The way your family settles into each other when no one’s trying too hard.
That’s what I’m paying attention to during your session.
I’m not here to make you perform or get everything “just right.” I’m here to guide you, support you, and create a space where your family can relax and just be together.
Because when that happens, the photos take care of themselves.
