Family portraits are more than just photos, they’re a way to pause time and preserve the season of life you’re in right now. Whether your family is growing, your children are changing faster than you can believe, or it’s simply been far too long since you were all in front of the camera together, a family portrait session creates artwork you’ll cherish for years to come.
My family sessions are relaxed, guided, and thoughtfully styled to feel natural and authentic to you. We focus on a balanced mix of posed portraits and lifestyle prompts to capture genuine connection, subtle direction, and clean, timeless imagery that won’t feel dated years from now. From young children to multi-generational families, every session is designed to highlight the relationships and moments that matter most.
Located in Modesto, California, I offer both outdoor and studio family portrait sessions throughout the year. From the planning process to image delivery, you’ll be supported every step of the way to ensure a seamless experience and beautiful, lasting results, portraits that are meant to be displayed, shared, and passed down to the next generation. Family portrait packages and pricing are outlined below.
