Regardless of the season you're in,

this time in your life deserves to be captured by something other than your iPhone. Family sessions were born from past wedding couples asking me to document their growing families and being entrusted with capturing these memories has been more meaningful to me than any award or publication.

Life is hectic and gets away from even the most organized parents. Family sessions are a slice of time apart, where this moment, this season, can be captured and kept forever, reminding you every time you look at the photos what it's all about.

Get the day of your session on the calendar, with a location that matches the mood you want to capture, and give yourself a set of images that will fill up the frames on your walls for years to come.

Sessions can take place anywhere from immediately following a proposal to just a few days before the wedding. We've found that there isn't a "good" or "bad" time to take your photos.

I've also captured the proposal itself — like Vianey & Greyson's surprise calenda at Esplanada Santo Domingo, followed by their reception at El Chef Zapoteco.

Frequently Asked Questions

What happens if it rains?

Oaxaca has a rainy season and a dry season, and when it rains or not is usually quite predictable in either season. When we discuss your desired date, we'll go over the likelihood of rain and Plan B.

How far in advance should we book?

The sooner the better! The sooner you reach out, the more likely you are to get your desired date!

What should we wear?

If picking out outfits for photos takes you back to your high school days when you literally tried on everything in your closet and piled it on your bed but still felt like you had nothing to wear, you're in luck.

We put together an extensive outfit suggestion guide with tips for every member of the family.

What if we're awkward and my kids don't sit still?

Unless you've modeled professionally, you're probably going to feel awkward in front of the camera. I include myself, and I'm a photographer!

You're going to feel awkward at first, but as the session goes on, with my light and easy guidance, you'll find that being photographed can actually be fun. The kids usually come around with the right prompts, clear indications, and fun, relaxing vibe established from the first few snaps.
