families, portraits, newborns


Forget "cheese". Let's get to the real stuff.


Look, I’m a dad. I know the drill. You spend two weeks picking out outfits only for the kids to have a meltdown the second we start. My job is to make sure none of that matters. I’m not here to make you stand in a line and bark "cheese" at a lens.


I guide you through the session so you never feel awkward, but I’m looking for the real stuff—the way your daughter curls her hair around her finger or how your son actually looks when he’s laughing at a fart joke. We’re going for genuine connection, not a stiff Christmas card pose. It’s going to be loud, it might be a little messy, and it’ll be the most honest photos you’ve ever had.

Location, Planning & Collections

for families, portraits and newborns

The second you book, I’m sending over my "No-Stress Guide" to your session. It covers everything from my favorite hidden-gem locations in Rhode Island to the "dos and don'ts" of what to wear. I’ll help you coordinate outfits that actually look like you and pick a spot that fits your family's energy. I handle the planning so that by the time we meet up, all you have to do is show up and exist. I’ve got the rest covered.

You’ve got two choices: your home or somewhere out in the wild. If you want to stay in your pajamas, let the kids jump on the bed, and capture life exactly as it looks right now, I’m coming to your house. If you want some room to run around and catch that "golden hour" glow, we’ll pick a spot outside.


Don’t overthink it. Tell me the vibe you’re after and I’ll tell you where to go. Either way, we’re making sure it doesn't feel like a chore.
