EXPERIENCE

CARLISLE FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHER

I photograph families the way I photograph everything else, with movement instead of stiff poses

I’m here to capture the real stuff...the belly laughs, the bear hugs, the unfiltered love that makes your family yours. No pressure, no stiff posing, just a session that feels like hanging out, with memories that hit even harder years down the road.

Your FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHY experience

These sessions work best when you have multiple kids, want variety in locations, need extended family photos with grandparents, or just need more time to let everyone warm up and relax.

  • 1-hour session at your chosen location in Central Pennsylvania
  • 50+ edited images
  • Online gallery for easy sharing and downloading
  • Location assistance (I know all the best spots around Carlisle)
  • Great for extended family photos 

FAMILIES

The Beautiful Chaos of Real Life 

OTHER PORTRAIT WORK

GRADUATING SENIORS, EQUINE SESSIONS 

Beyond family portraits, I photograph graduating seniors who want editorial-style images instead of yearbook poses, equine sessions that capture the bond between horse and rider, and couples celebrating anniversaries or milestones.

I’ll help you choose a location that fits your vibe. Whether it’s a scenic outdoor spot, cozy in-home session, my indoor Mechanicsburg studio, or somewhere meaningful to your family.

How much editing do you do

Short answer is, it depends on your preference. No matter what, I will balance the exposure and color correct each image. This also includes blemish removal for you and your family. 

How many Images will we receive

An average full-hour family session will yield approximately 30-100 images. This varies based on the age of family members and the session type. You can trust that I will select the very best images without holding back anything important.

When will we get our photos?

Your fully edited gallery will be delivered within 3 weeks with a print release so you can download, print, and share freely!
