Let Them Run: Why the Best Photos Happen When You Let Go

There’s something magical about the way kids move through the world—barefoot, wide-eyed, teddy bear in hand. They don’t worry about the perfect pose or a flawless smile. They run. They twirl. They laugh with their whole being.

And honestly? That’s exactly what I want to capture.

This summer, I’m offering something a little different. After 13 years of photographing families, I’ve come to realize that what moms truly want isn’t complicated packages or stiff portraits. You want real moments. You want your kids just as they are—mud on their knees, mischief in their eyes, and love in every hug.

Simple. Beautiful. No Sitting Fee. My summer family sessions are designed with you in mind. There’s no session fee. No pressure. Just a $50 deposit to hold your spot (refunded after your session), and then you only purchase the images you love.

We’ll meet at a beautiful outdoor spot, and I’ll encourage your children to explore, giggle, run, twirl—and just be themselves. You can bring along something meaningful too—your child’s favorite stuffed animal, a blanket you always have in the car, or even your family pup.

These small, simple things become treasured parts of the story we tell together.

What we’ll create are more than just photos. They’re memories—of a moment in time that you’ll never get back, but can always hold onto.

Whether you’re a mom of toddlers or tweens, or a couple with a dog who’s basically your baby, these sessions are for you. Easy. Fun. Honest. Beautiful.
