Family Storytelling Sessions
Your family’s story deserves more than a few pictures of everyone smiling at the camera. My storytelling sessions are designed to give your family time to settle in, warm up, and simply be together. With plenty of room for movement, play, and genuine interaction, we’ll capture the hugs, laughter, little personalities, and connections that make your family uniquely yours.
There’s no pressure for your kids to be perfect or for everyone to know how to pose. We’ll take our time, follow their lead when needed, and create space for the real moments to unfold. From sweet snuggles to playful chaos, my goal is to capture not just what your family looks like, but what it feels like to be part of it.
Connection over perfection. Real moments over forced smiles. Your family, just as you are right now.

What session can I book during Golden Hour?
The Valley and Garland sessions are created for story- telling, golden hour sessions. This gives us the best lighting for any given day with time to play and make the memories.
What can I do with the Light package?
The Light Package is created primarily for the single individual milestones and couples. These sessions take place on our farm north of Lonoke on a weeknight. Weekend options are based on availability and prior to golden hour.
What should I book for Extended Families?
For extended families, we book for the Garland package. This allows the extra time to get all family units as well as allows for extra images to make Grandma's heart happy!
What is story-telling?
Story-telling sessions capture the moments. To help create this, we play games, give prompts, and help create those moments to capture for you and your family. It allows you to feel that moment again each time you view your finished gallery.
Do you travel?
Most of my sessions take place in Lonoke and White County, but I do frequently travel to Little Rock, Conway, Searcy, and Greers Ferry area for sessions. Travel is an option based on availability of my schedule and includes an additional fee. To discuss that option, please reach out so we can see how to make your vision a reality.
What location options are there?
I try to go off of your vision when it comes to selecting a location. For local- fields and urban are the most popular when we are staying around the Lonoke, White and Pulaski County areas. I have several options actually on and around our family land. If you are up for traveling, the nearby lakes, creeks and Ozark mountains are gorgeous options as well...and so beautiful for golden hour sessions!
What is the weather does not cooperate?
Should weather become an issue, I will reach out to you at minimum 3 hours before your session start time. Calling it too early can cost us gorgeous skies. If you ever question the forecast on that day though, feel free to reach out and we can review together.
