REAL LIFE.
WE’VE MOVED ON FROM PHOTOS LIKE THIS
THESE PHOTOS AREN’T FOR YOU.
Well, they are. But they’re not only for you. Or the grandparents. Or this year’s holiday card.
THESE PHOTOS ARE FOR YOUR CHILDREN.
I want your kiddos to look at these images decades from now and see their true selves, not just a forced smile and coordinated outfits.
I want them to see how early their big personalities started to show and how much the people around them loved them.
Today is a great day to start your children’s visual history.

WAIT, WHO THE HECK ARE YOU?
AND WHY THIS PARTICULAR APPROACH?
I’m Moira! And I grew up in a family that would wear matching outfits for our posey, in-studio family portraits. I remember one session specifically during which the photographer kept trying to get my brothers and me to take a serious, non-smiling photo. Inevitably, one of us would start giggling and soon we’d all be laughing so hard we were crying. These actually ended up being my favorite photos because they showed our personalities. Who we really were, as opposed to how we were supposed to act.
My mission is to take real, unposed photos that celebrate your family in all of its beautiful, unrestrained uniqueness.
Reach out and say hi!
Now booking 2024
Instead of asking you to fill out an impersonal form, I want to get to know you and your family. Reach out and tell me about your toddler’s newest obsession, the funniest thing your kids have done lately, or your own favorite childhood memory. Then we’ll jump on a quick call to talk more about your family and see if we’re a good fit. But don’t wait; we take a limited number of clients each year and our family session schedule fills up fast!
