Real Moments, No Weird Poses.
Family Photography for people who’d rather be anywhere else than in front of a camera.
You don't need a "perfect" family to get kick-ass photos. You just need to be yourselves. I make the experience smooth and low-pressure so we can capture those genuine, unscripted moments. No performance required—just your family, exactly as you are.
What Moms Are Saying:
He was great with our large family, even when the kiddos got hot and tired and cranky! Thank you!
-Kathy R.
Jonathan was great! Very accommodating and made the session fun for our little one too! Would recommend him for any photography needs.
- Stephanie B.
I'm always pleased with the outcome. Trying to get 2 small children to cooperate for pictures is challenging and hectic at times but I've been satisfied with all of the sessions we have done so far.

Zero Performance, 100% Personality: Families Captured Exactly as They Are
Here It Is, The Moment You Have Been Scrolling For:
💥 How Much Is It Gonna Cost Me? 💥
Raising a family is expensive and your time is even more valuable. I get it. You’re already juggling schedules, sports and snacks—the last thing you need is a complicated photography package or a high-pressure sales pitch.
Let's keep the investment simple and honest. I’m a photographer, not a salesman—so you get clear, transparent pricing up front. No hidden fees. No pressure. No upsells.
Here’s how it works:
✅ Choose the Session That Fits Your Family: From quick, high-energy sessions to full-story experiences that capture every detail.
✅ Zero-Stress Planning: I help with the logistics—like location ideas and "what to wear" tips—so you can focus on just showing up and being together.
✅ High-Quality Memories (Not Just Files): Professional prints, albums, and wall art are available so your favorite moments don't just live (and die) on a hard drive.

DESCRIPTION |
This session is built for families with little ones who are big on energy and short on attention spans. If you’re worried about whether your kids will sit still or if we’ll even get one 'good' shot—relax. I’ve got you. We’ll spend 30-45 minutes moving, playing and keeping things fun so we can capture the real smiles (and the beautiful chaos) without anyone hitting a wall. |
If your kids are a little older and you want a session that captures more than just a quick smile, this is for you. We’ll take the time to move past the 'posed' stuff and get to the real inside jokes and connections that make your family tick. It’s the perfect way to document a milestone year—without making it feel like a chore for the kids (or the husband). |
This is for the Mom who wants the full story captured—no rushing, no holding back, just an epic afternoon documenting exactly what makes your family special. We’ll go beyond the 'standard' shots to get those cinematic, candid moments that usually happen when the camera isn't looking. If you want the best of everything I offer, this is the one. |
Why settle for just one look? This is my most flexible package, designed for families who want to capture their story across the changing seasons. Whether you want the golden glow of a Smith Mountain Lake summer AND the crisp colors of a Franklin County fall, or you just want one epic, 2-hour 'day in the life' session—the choice is yours. It’s the ultimate way to get the most variety and personality in your gallery. |

The Chaos-Free Game Plan: A Simple Path to Epic Photos
Booking family photos shouldn’t feel like a second job. I’ve made the process so straightforward and easy, you’ll actually enjoy the day. Here is how we ditch the stress and get the shots you'll love, step-by-step:
1️⃣ Step 1: Pick Your Vibe
Whether you need a quick "sweet spot" session for the toddlers or a full-blown "Family Fun Day," choose the package that fits your family’s energy and schedule.
2️⃣ Step 2: Choose Your Backdrop (I’ve Got the Map)
Don’t waste time scouting locations! I’ll guide you to the best spots in Franklin County and the Roanoke Valley—whether you want a calm lakeside look, a wide-open field for the kids to run or something a bit more urban.
3️⃣ Step 3: Plan the Outfits (Be Real, Be Comfortable)
No more "perfectly matched" stress. Bring the favorite boots, the lucky shirt or that one dress she loves to twirl in. I’ll send over a guide to help you look cohesive without looking like a group of mannequins.
4️⃣ Step 4: Just Show Up. Forget the Posing!
I don’t do "sit still and look at me." I use fun prompts and games to get the real laughs. My goal is to capture your family’s actual connection—even the "unscripted" chaos ends up looking incredible.
5️⃣ Step 5: Pick the Favorites & Get Them on the Wall
I’ll help you choose the images that make you smile the most. We’ll turn them into durable prints, albums or wall art so you can see them every day—instead of letting them sit in an email inbox forever.
☕ Coffee’s On Me! ☕
