Kind words

If you want a photographer who not only takes beautiful photos but also helps makes the entire process enjoyable, Larissa is your girl. She is attentive and helpful, and went above and beyond when it came to coordinating our outfits (which is not my strong suit). She makes everyone feel comfortable, and captures great poses and candid moments.

Let’s not wait for the “perfect time”

Your little ones won’t stay little for long, and these days—just as they are—are already worth remembering. I’d be honored to help you hold onto them!

what to expect

STEP 01

reach out

Shoot me a quick note to get started. No need to have it all figured out—just say hey, and we’ll take it from there.

STEP 02

plan together

Once we’ve locked in a date, I’ll help you choose a location that fits your family and walk you through what to wear (without the overwhelm). We’ll keep it relaxed and real—this part is meant to feel easy.

STEP 03

shooting day

Show up as you are. We’ll take our time, follow your kids’ lead, and let the moments unfold naturally. No pressure, no perfection—just love, laughter, and maybe a little dirt on someone’s jeans.

STEP 04

Gallery delivery

Within a few weeks, you’ll receive a hand-edited gallery full of honest, heartfelt photographs that feel like home.

This is your family—real, beautiful, yours.

I've got you

You don’t need to be anything but yourselves—your story is already worth being told, worth remembering. My approach is simple and intentional: I’m not here to overly pose or chase perfection. I’m here to slow down, tune in, and capture the moments that feel most like you. Families choose to work with me because they want photographs that reflect real connection—not just what this season looked like, but how it felt. If you’re looking for an experience that’s relaxed, meaningful, and rooted in authenticity, you’re in the right place.

Our children grow all too quickly, and it’s easy to put family photos off—telling ourselves we’ll do it next year. But before we know it, a year becomes two, and those everyday moments we thought would last forever have already changed.

I’ll guide you gently throughout our time together so you never feel unsure or out of place. It’s not about being perfect—it’s about being present. And when you look back on these photographs, I want you to remember the laughter, the closeness, and the love your family shares.

“I’ll guide you every step of the way so you feel confident and comfortable—but your story doesn’t need to be polished to be beautiful. I’m just here to help you remember the stage you’re in—messy, beautiful, and entirely yours."
