Looking for family portraits with a clean, timeless look? I photograph families across Delaware and Chester County PA with simple planning and edits that print beautifully. I also work year-round with families, seniors, headshots & branding.

Since 2006, I’ve built my business around exactly this kind of session, and as a mom of three, I understand how important it is to capture your family right now, not just for social media, but for prints you’ll keep on your walls for years. My studio is based in Avondale, PA, with sessions available throughout Chester County, Delaware, and the Maryland border area, in-studio or on location.
Family sessions are simple by design. We start with a quick chat about your family, ages, personalities, and any must-have combinations like grandparents or the family dog, and I take it from there with easy prompts that keep everyone relaxed rather than stiffly posed. Locations range from open fields and gardens in Chester County to Wilmington favorites like Goodstay Gardens and Gibraltar Gardens, and I’m always happy to talk through a few options based on your family’s style and the season.
Every gallery is edited with a true-to-color, natural look, so the photos still feel like your family years down the road rather than a heavily filtered trend. Sessions typically run 30 to 45 minutes, plenty of time for full family portraits, sibling combinations, and candid in-between moments, without wearing out young kids. Whether you’re looking for an annual family portrait, a milestone session to mark a new baby or a move, or simply want updated photos for your walls and holiday cards, I’d love to help you plan a session that fits your family.
No matter the season, I’ll help you pick a location and timing that works best for good light and your family’s schedule.
