The Winter Story Sessions

Cinematic photographs of your family in the softness of winter.

5 Sessions available all the way until Christmas

These are just incredible! We honestly could not be more thrilled at how the pictures turned out. There's a level of authenticity, connection, and artfulness that we haven't gotten before in family photos. - Adam B.

A quiet winter visit, photographed beautifully.

Winter holds the small things together: the rituals, the routines, the tiny traditions your family repeats without thinking.

These sessions are about those moments: your kids decorating the lower half of the tree, your mother’s peppermint cookies, your dad or grandpa making everyone howl with laughter.

The parts that feel ordinary now, but one day your kids will look back and say:
“Oh right… I loved this. I loved him. I loved her.

That’s what we’re keeping. Not posed holiday pictures but the real pieces of your winter, warm and a little nostalgic, beautiful in the way only your family is.

No matter what session you choose, we’ll create photographs you’ll return to again and again.

And if grandparents or family are in town, this is the perfect time to include them —
your future self will be grateful you did.

Offerings

Full Winter Session: Most Recommended

More time to settle in, exhale, and let the day unfold.

  • 1.5 to 2 hours (after years of crafting images for families, I find this is the sweet spot for creating something that feels akin to a film)

  • In-home or outdoor (or a mix of both)

  • 60+ finished photographs

  • Styling Guide + Extra Support

  • $1100

Best for: families who love slower storytelling, want a fuller range of scenes and a more “film like” experience or haven’t had photographs together in years.

The Winter Portrait Visit

A quiet, cozy hour — perfect for families, couples, or anyone wanting a cinematic touch to the holidays.

  • 1 hour

  • 30 finished photos with additional images available for purchase

  • In-home or outdoors (one location)

  • Styling Guide + Extra Support

  • $850

    Best for: Gift for grandparents visiting from out of town, a small family gathering before the chaos begins, updating your portraits before the year closes

It’s relaxed, warm, and joyful — no big production, no pressure. You just show up as you are.

I’m offering sessions all the way through Christmas.
If family is in town, I can come to your home and create a set of images that feel warm and lived-in — the kind you’ll look back on and think, This was our life. This was us.

FAQs

  • Before booking, we’ll have a quick pre-consult to make sure the session aligns with what you’re envisioning. A 50% retainer holds your date, and the remaining balance is due three days before we meet.

  • Sessions are first come, first served, so if you have a preferred day or time, it’s best to book soon. I’m offering sessions all the way through Christmas.

  • Everyone who books before Christmas will receive a gallery of sneak peeks from their session (5 to 10 images). My turn around time is 2 weeks but if you want them before, please do let me know and I’ll see if I can accommodate.

  • Yes — this season is perfect for that. If you have family in town, I can photograph everyone together.
