FAMILY &
Little Ones

Oh, hello! Em here and I think you are living a life worth rembering. You want nostaligic lived in photos that show off the real you. Let's embrace all the joy in this season of life. All the giggles, tears, play time, running, twirling, and yes, even the absolute chaos to make some heirlooms that give you the feeling those old albums in your grandparents basement do.

Perfectly imperfect and 100% you.

When will we get our gallery?

Family photography galleries are delivered within three weeks of our session together. 

Where do sessions take place?

Anywhere!! We work together to nail down some vibes and inspo but sessions usually take place in my studio, your home or places like a park or the city 

What if there is bad weather?

When working with littles, as a family photographer in Minneapolis, I try to prioritize their comfort so if things look rainy, windy, icy, etc, We adjust plans to an indoor location or look at rescheduling!

My kids are shy - is that ok?

Yes of course! I really try to meet your kids where they are at. I wont try to force smiles or anything out of them. As a mpls family photographer, I believe the best photos are the ones where they are 100% themselves.
