Simple, classic, fun studio sessions with a modern twist. Think Gap ads from the 90's but with your people! These sessions are for the families that love laughing together and aren't afraid of something unconventional. If that's you, I'd love to create with you!
These studio sessions are all-inclusive, meaning that the session retainer fee includes the session appointment, the studio rental, as well as all the best images, fully edited in gorgeous black and white, and delivered via digital download. You'll get an online gallery where you can view and download your images, as well as purchase prints and products.
These dates don't work but you love the idea? Contact me and we can coordinate for another day!

Family is everything -- and the people that are important to you are important to me. I promise to do everything I can to create images worthy of your most treasured relationships.

One of my most favorite places to photograph families in the Dallas area is the Beverly Harris house, a historic home in the heart of McKinney. I like to imagine it as a farmhouse, and its bright and airy aesthetic is both timeless and modern.
During our session, we can utilize the darling porch with a porch swing, the interior that's decorated with white linens and neutral accents, or the backyard that has a lovely garden and ivy-covered arch. Or, lucky us, we can do it all!
These sessions will be extra special and I'm looking forward to seeing you there!

A holiday tradition is back, and better than ever for 2026!
I'll have several beautiful holiday backdrops ready for you, and we'll create stunning images you can use for holiday cards, ornaments, and holiday gifts. (Want some of the images to be holiday-less? We can do that, too!) **example photo is previous years' backdrop - exact setups will be announced soon!
