You just have to show up.
Book a session where you can slow down, be together, and let the little moments happen naturally.
Pause time. Your everyday is worth documenting.
The Candid House Experience
My goal is to make this process so easy that you'll wonder why you hadn't booked sooner. I mean it when I say you just have to show up; tell me when and where you want to be and I will handle the rest.
Most sessions my clients have had prior to a Candid House experience required their family to perform. Mine ask you to be exactly who you are. From the moment you book to the day your gallery lands in your inbox, every step is designed to take the stress off your plate so you can focus on the people in front of you and actually enjoy your loved ones.
Real moments over rigid poses
I'll gently prompt and guide you when it helps, but I'm never directing a performance. The goal is photos that feel like your family on a good day, not a catalog of strangers. That said, I do know a thing or two about getting the shots that belong poster-sized on your wall.
which means kids being kids is kind of the point....
Real moments mean that wiggly toddlers, meltdowns, and the kid who won't look at the camera are all welcome. I don't need anyone to sit still. Some of my favorite frames happen in the moments parents think are "ruining" the shoot.
Your family's privacy is always respected around here
Your gallery is yours alone, and what you share publicly is always your call. In my marketing, I choose not to feature children's identifiable faces. There is a place in your session contract that either grants or denies your permission for me to use your photos in my marketing, and this will only ever include faceless or non-identifiable photos.
THE PROCESS

In just a few clicks from the website, you can select your session date + time, choose the right options for your session, and pay the retainer to get on the books.

Where should we go?
At-/In-home sessions are always an option but if you're looking to choose a location based on the vibe you're aiming for, check out my recommendations here:
What should we wear?
This is the #1 question I get asked. And when clients want to achieve a certain look but don't know where to start, I give them my Wardrobe Guide:
