outdoor & golden hour family sessions | north okc
for the beauty of everyday life, together
Family sessions with me are designed to be relaxed and meaningful, with space for real moments to unfold. Whether I’m photographing first-time parents or families with lots of little ones, my goal is always the same: to preserve the everyday beauty of life together in an honest, warm, and timeless way.
As a mom of little boys and a former classroom teacher of 11 years, I understand how unpredictable (and wonderful!) life with kids can be. My sessions are calm and flexible; I gently guide your family while allowing room for curiosity, movement, and genuine moments to unfold naturally.
Outdoor family sessions are especially beautiful at golden hour, when the light is soft and glowing and everything feels a little more magical.
What is an outdoor family session like?
I’ll offer gentle prompts rather than stiff poses. You can expect a mix of:
- Whole family portraits
- Sibling images
- Individual child portraits
- Candid, in‑between moments filled with movement and connection
Full Family Sessions
Full sessions allow time for a thoughtful mix of images, including whole family portraits, sibling photographs, individual child portraits, and candid moments in between. I’ll offer gentle direction while encouraging movement and interaction so your photos feel natural and unforced.
Extended Family Sessions
Extended family sessions are designed for families who want to document multiple generations together. With additional time built in, we’re able to move at an unhurried pace and thoughtfully photograph both the full group and the individual relationships within it. I’ll gently guide the flow of the session so everyone is included while keeping the experience relaxed and enjoyable.
Mini Sessions
Mini sessions are shorter and ideal for families looking for a simple update. These focus primarily on whole family and sibling images. Dates and locations are predetermined and shared in advance.
Most outdoor family sessions are scheduled during golden hour—the hour before sunset—or at sunrise for families who prefer (very!) early mornings. These times provide the softest, most flattering light and a calm atmosphere.
When are outdoor family sessions scheduled?
I photograph families throughout North Oklahoma City and the surrounding areas. I’m always happy to help you choose a location that complements your style and feels true to your family.
where do you photograph outdoor family sessions?
Before your session, you’ll receive a detailed Preparation Guide with helpful tips on what to wear and how to make the most of our time together.
A gentle reminder: kids don’t need to be perfectly still or posed. Their energy, curiosity, and emotions are all welcome here, and they’re part of the story you’ll want to remember.
