Lifestyle Family Photography _ True Moments Beautifully Captured

 Vermont & New England Family Photographer

Lifestyle & Documentary Portraits Filled with Love

If you’re looking for a Vermont family photographer who captures more than smiles—you’ve found the right one. I specialize in lifestyle and documentary-style family sessions that tell a story: your story. From tiny hand-holds to spontaneous laughter, my goal is to preserve the natural beauty and real emotion of your everyday life.

Each session is relaxed, playful, and child-led—no stiff poses or pressure. I give gentle direction when needed and, on request, include a few posed editorial-style portraits for that timeless touch.

You’ll receive a beautiful mix of:

  • Honest, storytelling images that feel alive

  • Timeless portraits perfect for framing or gifting

  • Artistic color and black & white edits

Pets are always welcome—dogs, cats, horses, goats—if they’re part of your family, they’re part of the story.
