Bringing Your Story to Life
The thing I love about this job is that every session brings something new. I feel incredibly lucky to capture so many meaningful moments with amazing families. One of the most exciting things for me is when a session truly reflects who you are—your passions, your story, and the little things that make your family special.
If there’s something that makes your heart happy, let’s incorporate it! Maybe that’s a picnic in the strawberry fields, an evening on your hobby farm, playing with chickens in your backyard, making s’mores around the campfire, or splashing in the lake at sunset. I’m always up for trying something new to make your session feel like YOU! I want these photos to be more than just beautiful pictures. I want them to be full of meaning, memories, and all the little details that bring you joy.
A Dream Storytelling Session with Horses
One session that had been on my photography bucket list for years was capturing a family with their horses. Ever since my daughter and I attended a mother-daughter retreat at a horse camp, I had dreamed of photographing that special connection between a family and their animals.
Horses have always held a special place in my heart. As a little girl, I imagined having my own someday. I would spend hours daydreaming about brushing their manes, riding through open fields, and forming that deep, unspoken bond. While that dream hasn’t come true (yet!). The little girl inside me was absolutely thrilled when the stars aligned for this session.
I have to admit, things started off a little rocky when one of the horses wasn’t exactly in the mood for photos. But if there’s one thing I’ve learned from working with toddlers, it’s that patience and a little creativity go a long way! Mom was amazing at coming up with a solution. Soon enough, we were walking through the pasture, capturing the most beautiful moments together. The way the kids lit up as they watched the horses, the way Dad gently guided them, and the how Mom would snuggle up with them—it was pure magic.
This session wasn’t just about the photos; it was about documenting a lifestyle, a passion, and the love this family shares with their animals. That’s what makes a session like this so special—not just the setting or the lighting, but the real moments that tell your story.
Your Story, Your Session
No two families are the same. Your photos should reflect what makes yours special. Whether it’s a quiet moment snuggled together, running barefoot through a field, or watching the kids climb rocks at the bay, I want to capture what feels like home to you.
If you have an idea that feels special, let’s make it happen. These are the moments that matter, and I want to document them in a way that feels natural and beautiful to you.















Your session should feel effortless, fun, and full of memories you’ll treasure forever. So, what’s your dream session? Let’s create it together! Reach out to Cynthia here to learn more!
