let's be real.
Family photos are a mix of joy and chaos.
Planning outfits, finding the perfect time, and wrangling everyone can feel like a monumental task (yes, I see you bribing the kids with treats... I do it too!). And let’s not forget those moments during the shoot when someone’s melting down or refusing to smile.
But here’s the thing—these photos are so much more than a snapshot in time. They’re a precious way to hold onto this season of life, no matter how messy or fleeting it feels. One day, you’ll look back and see not just the images, but the love, connection, and beautiful chaos that make your family uniquely yours.
So yes, family photos might be a little stressful, but the memories and legacy they create? Totally worth it.
Hands down our go to photographers. So fun to work with and amazing with kids!

One of the best decisions we have ever made was to hire Brittney & Caleb to take photos for our family.

Choose your outfits!
When picking outfits, we recommend keeping in mind the word “complement” rather than “match.”
I wrote a blog post all about choosing outfits for your session! You can read that HERE.
Session day + your legacy, delivered.
On the day of your session, we'll connect to make sure the weather still looks like it's going to cooperate. We'll exchange numbers and finalize our meeting time and location! We'll spend time capturing your precious family and having fun doing it - I promise!
All of the edited images are delivered within about 2-4 weeks of the shoot via an online gallery. This gallery will allow you to share your favorites with family, order prints, and download images to share on social media. Your gallery will remain active online for five years.

Unless you've modeled professionally, you're probably going to feel awkward in front of the camera. Heck, we take photos for a living and we even feel like a deer in the headlights when we're in front of the camera!
You're going to feel awkward at first, but as the session goes on and we coach you through images, we think you'll find that being photographed can actually be fun. And don't worry about your kids. We're well-versed in capturing even the busiest of little ones.
No one wants to look like a wet dog in their photos so if it looks like it's going to rain, snow, hail or some other weather catastrophe, we'll be in touch via email or phone to reschedule.
