No awkward family poses and forced smiles, but rather a whole lot of family fun full of those perfectly-imperfect, REAL + beautiful moments.
because I’m all about authentically capturing your family and y’all having a good ‘ole time.


The little things and those big feelings.

Candid, raw, and authentically your family.
So if your family is fueled by sandy toes + salt air, down to play in the waves and see my little Chihuahua Gidget do her awesome tricks for y’all, and of course love to laugh your butts off, we’ll be fast friends in no time.

Playing on the Beach in Tamarindo || Hern Family
The majority of family vacations in Costa Rica typically are for one week. But, there is so much to do and see in Pura Vidadise that the time goes by so fast. My first week long trip to Costa Rica, I definitely felt like I didn’t have enough time, so my second trip I booked for 10 days. And then my third trip…well I ended up packing up my NYC apartment and hopped a flight to Costa Rica for however long I wanted to!!!
Family Vacation Beach Photos in Costa Rica || Pusch Family
The month of November by far is my favorite month in Costa Rica. The earth is super lush and green from six months of rainy season and the temperatures “cooler”, but with the beautiful weather of dry season. And having been away from Pura Vidadise for 8 months thanks to the ‘Rona, it felt good to arrive back during my favorite month. And to top that off, what better way to get back into the photography swing than with some of the most fun clients?!
Historic Savannah Georgia Family Photos || Daughtrey Family
One of the things I love the most about being a photographer in Savannah, Georgia is that there is so many different, beautiful places to photograph. You can go from historic downtown Savannah, the beach on Tybee Island, majestic Oak lined nature trails, to picturesque marsh views. No wonder the Daughtrey Family had a hard time picking…
Holiday Family Photos in Downtown Savannah || Cohen Family
One of my favorite things about the Cohen Family is that they are always up to change it up and take their family photos in different locations every year. That and the fact that Senorita Grace and her big brother Cole are a riot, always making everyone around them laugh!
Sunset Family Photos in Sebastian Inlet Florida || Brown Family
Thanks to some magical luck from Mother Nature and an afternoon spent scouting, I couldn’t have picked a better spot for sunset family photos in Sebastian Inlet, Florida. That AND putting my foot down to tell my brother…
