So let's plan a day to capture a moment of time in your family's life!
I believe it’s important for a photograph to tell a story, and a different story is being told at all stages of life.
As a photographer, this is one of my favorite things; being able to capture and experience these many chapters in life, with all their distinct personalities and nature. This is why I specialize in a broad range of portrait photography.
“A family portrait is only complete with love to fill it’s frame.” - Wes Fesler

Session day
Families are unique like fingerprints, no two are the same. This is one of the many reasons I truly enjoy family shoots. Whether it’s you and your dog or a family reunion of 30, my goal is to capture your natural dynamics and personalities so it’s a fun experience that produces pure photographs that will become more precious with each passing year.

Newborn & Child Milestone Photography Experience & Investment
Allison
Claire goes above and beyond to make the most of every photo shoot. Her turn around time is phenomenal and I won't go anywhere else for photos. I would definitely recommend Claire and will be using her for years to come."
"I'm so incredibly over the moon with how all of our family photos have turned out!
Lindsey
Claire did our newborn pictures for our baby girl. She was very patient and captured every little moment beautifully. We had so many great pictures. Claire also did our family pictures that incorporated our 2 big dogs. Claire had picked the perfect setting for our outdoor pictures. She was able to get some really great pictures of all of us."
"We have so many wonderful memories captured.
Kayla
She was my photographer for my wedding, my maternity photos, my daughter's newborn photos, and she will be doing my daughter's one year photos. She is very creative, and there are always a variety of beautiful pictures to choose from. She was extremely patient with my newborn, as it took almost an hour to calm her down for pictures."
"I highly recommend Claire as a photographer for any occasion!
Love Notes from Clients
Yes! I love to adventure and explore. Session rates may vary depending on the location, so just let me know what you have in mind and we can go from there.
Absolutely. My typical shoots last for about 60 minutes, so we can split time between locations. In general I tend to favor locations that give us lots of variety without having to spend session time travelling from one spot to another.
My session turnaround is about 1 week. During busy seasons it may be 2 weeks, Photos are delivered via private online gallery with digital download for instant access and easy sharing.
To book simply email, text or call and we’ll find a date together! In order to hold your session I require a $100 retainer & signed contract.
Absolutely. While your session fee includes the session & digital files only, I also offer custom designed albums (ordered through me) and professional prints that can be ordered right from your gallery after your session.
Many studios add a watermark or force you to print through them – I’m not a big fan of that route. While I offer albums and prints through my studio, the way we see it is you’ve invested a lot of money for great photos, so you should have the freedom to print them wherever you want for personal use.
That’s okay! Many children are shy or have a hard time with posing for photos - Which is why we forget the posing and just get you all hanging out and loving on each other! You just enjoy the moment and I’ll worry about the photos.
Once booked all retainers are non refundable, as I am holding the date for you and turning away other clients. If you need to reschedule, a $50 rescheduling fee will apply unless we agree mutually on a rescheduled time due to weather.
Booking well in advance is recommended! My current wait times for session openings are around 6 weeks, but cancellations do happen once in a while! Please reach out as soon as possible and I’ll see if I have availability. Weekends booked quickly! I have more flexibility on weekdays. My sessions begin about 2 hours before sunset. During May - September, a session typically wouldn’t start before 6pm.
All family and maternity sessions are located outdoors. Locations are chosen in collaboration with you, to bring your unique vision to life. Newborn, Sitter and Cake Smash session take place indoors.
Your retainer and signed contract is due before your date can be secured. The remainder of your balance is to be paid at least 1 week prior to your session.
I accept online payments, checks and cash. Contact me for payment details & to book your session.
If your shoot date gets rained out, we can either select an alternate location or reschedule on a date that fits you. Or we always can splash around in the rain!
