"Mom, what were we like when we were little?"

"Mom, what were we like when we were little?"

In between packing lunches, managing tantrums, searching for lost stuffed animals and eating a diet of food your kids didn't finish...

Raising a family is an adventure to say the least!

It sometimes feels impossible to catch your breath long enough to capture the moments you never want to forget.

(And really, getting everyone in one photo, MOM INCLUDED, is way too much on your own. That's why there are professionals for this kind of thing!)

But the idea of stuffy, posed portraits doesn't really feel like a great solution.

Strained smiles and certain family members who hate the whole process....

NO THANKS!

Which is exactly why my passion is lifestyle photography

Family portraits that capture your loved ones at their best:

You know, those moments that you WISH were captured where everyone’s personality shines through because you’re totally connected?!

As a mom of two, it's always my goal to take THESE kinds of photos.

Hi! Mia Here!

As a young mom, I often felt like I was drowning in all the to-dos. Photography was just a hobby back then — until a single moment changed everything.

 

While reviewing photos with a client-turned-friend, we both had tears in our eyes. The images celebrated her new pregnancy while honoring the baby she had lost the year before.

 

In that moment, I realized photography wasn’t just about pictures — it was about preserving stories, proving resilience, and capturing beauty in every chapter of life.

 

That realization pushed me to pursue photography wholeheartedly, even in the chaos of raising two small kids.

 

Fast forward to today, my boys are older and I’ve photographed dozens and dozens of families.

 

Now, it’s my mission to document the real, unscripted moments of your family’s story—so you’ll always have more than just pretty pictures, but a way to remember exactly what this season of life felt like.
