As your family photographer, my goal is to capture the heart and spirit of your family—their unique personalities, deep connections, authentic moments, and the love that makes your story uniquely beautiful. My approach combines beautiful lighting, gentle posing, and crafted compositions with genuine interactions and photojournalistic storytelling.
Information
You can expect a laidback and relaxed approach that’s focused on making everyone comfortable. I’ll find (sometimes, create!) nice light and just suggest where you might stand or sit. I like to keep things looking and feeling natural, so our time together feels more like a few friends hanging out. I may let the kids guide our initial interactions and encourage everyone to interact like I'm not even there. It’s more about capturing those real moments than getting you to pose perfectly.
My style and approach
My goal is to capture you and your family just as you are...
"Working with Jamie, was a delight! Her easy going nature made it stress free and fun, capturing natural moments of our family that showcased how we truly are. With our two little kids, she found ways to engage and make their experience light-hearted, keeping them smiling throughout.”
-- Lauren, Family Photography Client
-- Rachel, Family photography client
"Jamie is the best photographer. She has two children so she understands how to work with families and meet them where they are. Her pictures capture special and amazing moments that I wish I could bottle up and hold on to forever. Her pictures make that possible."
-- Natalie, Branding Photography Client
"Jamie took photos of me in my home for my home styling business, and she made me feel incredibly comfortable and relaxed (one of my favorite shots is of me with my 15-year-old dog!) She has an amazing eye for detail and captured various angles of the room that truly showcased the design."
"Jamie has photographed many of our recent life events- engagement, maternity, babies, and two holiday seasons. We continue to work with Jamie because of the comfort she brings our family and how easy it is to work with her; she’s flexible and calm, and has a great vision."
-- Ashley, family photography client
Whether it’s your first or fifteenth time having professional photos made, not to worry: I’ll walk you through the whole thing from start to finish.
Have a look around and determine if my style appeals to you and you think we could be a good fit. I recommend booking at least one month in advance — especially for newborn sessions since you know around when to expect baby’s arrival.
step one: explore my site
We’ll have a quick phone consultation to talk about your expectations and go over any questions or concerns you might have before we decide whether to make your session official. I’ll cover my process and all the pricing details (no surprises later), along with answering any questions you have. If we decide to work together, you’ll pay a $275 session fee to hold your date and time.
step three: book a call
After booking, I will send you a welcome email containing a contract and deposit request (pricing begins at $275) as well as my session and outfit guides to help you feel prepared and confident being in front of the camera.
I’ll touch base with you before your session (a few weeks prior as well as the day before) to make sure you are ready and excited!
Step 4: Review and book
Here's How It Works
Next, fill out the contact form with your your photographic needs and to set up a consultation via phone. I’ll send you a pricing and service guide and we will get to know each other while discussing any questions you may have.
Once we have our date, we will pick out a time based on the type of session and when we can find that beautiful, flattering, light!
Step two: Get in touch
I love to photograph families in their homes! I find that people, especially kids, tend to feel most comfortable in a familiar space and that at-home photos have an added layer of authenticity and personality. But if you prefer to have your session at an alternate location, we can work together to find a spot that is meaningful to you — examples are, a favorite park, neighborhood, or activity. Whether it’s apple picking or an ice cream date, I’m always down for an adventure!
Yes, I rent studio space in Palisades, NY for select sessions and projects. Studio sessions take place in a beautiful, light filled, fully equipped space with a wardrobe rack, steamer, hair and make up station, and top of the line lighting equipment.
Yes! I’m always open to an adventure. When you inquire, please mention the location. Long form sessions are always a great idea when longer distances are involved. Travel fees may apply.
For all signature sessions, a $275 non-refundable session fee is due at time of booking to secure your date. Digital image + product packages begin at $625. For a 1.5-2 hour session, you can expect an average of 90 images.
I do! I offer them seasonally and in accordance with our yearly holidays. For all mini sessions, a $95 booking fee is required to secure your time slot. Digital image + product packages begin at $215. For a 15 minute session, you can expect an average of 15 images.
Consider the location! The light is generally best in the morning and evening hours for all outdoor sessions. I know that timing can coincide with “witching hour”, but trust me, a late nap, early dinner/snack, and *bribe* are worth it for that good light.
Rule number one, be yourself!! Decide first what you want to wear, then coordinate the rest of the family around that. Be sure everyone is more or less on the same level of fancy/casual, pick a color palette of 4-5 colors and stick to it, and mix fabrics, textures, and a print or two to add some visual interest. Check out my complimentary wardrobe guide and consider creating a pinterest board for inspiration, saving inspiration images from instagram, and taking pre-session phone photos just to see how everyone looks together.
I shoot select events - Intimate gatherings, elopements, and small weddings are my preferred event types. Please inquire for more info!
Our studio sessions take place in a fully equipped, light-filled space, offering classic, clean, editorial-style portraits for your portfolio, website, or home.

family sessions Pricing
If you’ve ever shopped for art of any kind before, you know prices are all over the map… and that’s certainly true with photography as well. And like with other art, those prices aren’t easily compared - it’s not apples to apples.
With a session fee of $275 and fully custom collections ranging from $625 to 1100, my unique process ensures you'll get exactly what you want (along with as much - or as little - guidance as you need), and end up with beautiful images and prints to enjoy for years to come.
