The Mini Session
30 minutes, $325
Gallery delivered, you select your 15 favorites. Perfect for young kids with short attention spans, or anyone who wants a handful of beautiful images without a long shoot.
LUSH. LUMINOUS. SOULFUL.
Real moments. Lush Blue Ridge Mountain settings. Memories you will be proud to share.
Request Your SessionFamily sessions are where my heart lives. After twenty years, I know how to find the light, read the room, and get everyone to that moment where the kids stop performing and your partner forgets to feel awkward.
Our shoot will take place entirely outdoors in the natural settings around Asheville and the Blue Ridge Mountains. I'll handle the light, the locations, and the direction. You just show up and be your family. That's when the real photos happen.
I will take you somewhere most families never find on their own. Asheville has private gardens, shaded creek paths, and mountain overlooks where the late afternoon light does things you could not plan if you tried. We will choose the setting together, I will guide you through the whole session with specific and warm direction, and your only job is to show up and be yourselves.
The Experience
Sometimes that means a creek, a mountain overlook, or a private garden. I'll help you find the place that fits your family.
Clear, warm direction from start to finish. I know how to coax a real smile out of a two-year-old and how to help the adults relax enough that the real moments can happen on their own.

You want a photographer who gives clear, warm direction so even the reluctant partner and the restless toddler look like themselves.

"Steph did our family photos last week and they came out beautifully. She was great with our small kids, came up with some creative shots, and did a great job with the edits. We are very happy with the results and will definitely use her again!"
"Steph did a photo shoot for my pregnancy and the experience was as beautiful as the photos themselves. She offered very concrete suggestions for how to move and pose, and had such creative ideas for the shoot. We went through a lovely process beforehand where I shared inspiration photos and she took that input clearly and helped us create exactly the memories we wanted. Now that our little one has arrived, I cannot imagine trusting anyone else to capture our family."
