FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHY IN RALEIGH, NC
Your weekly schedule is... all over the place.
You’re navigating childcare, meals, work, kids’ activities, & more. The moments you get to actually spend together as a family and relax are few & far between.
At the same time, family is everything. The connection & love you share, the giggles, the hugs, and even the tears… You belong to each other.
You try to savor each moment with your family & document the little moments & big moments alike, but your phone photos don’t quite capture the true essence of who your family is. You don’t get those honest expressions that you know & love when you ask your kids to smile for a picture.
I get it, and I’m here for you! Let’s get you some natural family photos in a way that is easy, stress-free, and (honestly) very fun.
LET'S CAPTURE YOUR FAMILY
Document joyful moments of togetherness
“Kelly was great to work with! She made the whole process easy - from signing up for a session, to signing the contract, to the day of. I always feel at ease when she is photographing our family. Even when our two-year-old is running around wild during the session, she still manages to get photos that feel like ‘us’.”
- Sarah & Colin

to you
This isn’t your standard sit-and-smile-at-the-camera photo session. We are going to let your kids be KIDS! Let them run & explore. Give them big ol’ bear hugs and play games together. Natural interactions lead to honest photos that encapsulate the true essence of your family & the love that you all share. Everyone comes away from the session saying, “That was actually fun!” and then we take it a step further to get you prints & other keepsakes so you’re not left wondering when to find the time to do that on your own. Isn’t that great? This doesn’t have to add stress to your life. Let’s go have some fun and capture joyful moments with your kiddos.

FAQ
Our photo reveal & ordering appointment will typically take place 1 week after the session. This is when you get to see the photo proofs for the first time, and we’ll review your ordering options & make sure all your questions are answered! If you need some more time to make final decisions about what photos or artwork to order, your order will be due 1 week after that so I can start getting everything ready for you.
A downloadable online gallery will be shared soon after ordering. Artwork will be delivered to you within 2-6 weeks of ordering, depending on the amount of design work needed and current turnaround times with my professional printing lab.
Printed artwork will be delivered to you within 2-6 weeks of ordering, depending on the amount of design work needed and current turnaround times with my professional printing lab.
I know we always want our little ones to be on their best behavior, but I want you to let ME worry about your kids during the session. You get a break for once!
Please do your best to keep smiling and remain calm, and your kids will often feed off your energy. Our sessions aren’t about bribery or manipulation to get the photos we want - they’re about having fun, rolling with the punches, and making the most out of the energy your kids have! That goes for family sessions and newborn sessions alike.
As a former K-12 educator and a mama myself, I’m well-versed in connecting with kiddos of all ages and incorporating little activities to bring out their amazing personalities. We’ll often change poses/types of interactions if a child isn’t into it so we can keep it playful and get great images that reflect this time in your lives beautifully.
I believe photos come alive when we hold them in our hands! My job isn’t done until I’ve provided you with a finished product, so that you can quickly and easily enjoy your photos in your home and one day pass them on to your kids. Our memories aren’t meant to live on a hard drive - they’re meant to be displayed around your home & bring joy daily.
You get the best of both worlds here! You’re welcome to use your high-resolution digital files for any print needs on your own, and I’m here to help with any archival-quality heirloom artwork you may be interested in. We can chat about using your artwork credit toward albums, wall art, mounted prints, etc., or we can keep it simple by sticking with the included 4x6” premium prints.
Absolutely! I welcome people of all different backgrounds - sexual orientation and gender identity included. Please know that I value you, honor you, and celebrate you exactly as you are.
