this is my promise to you
You deserve more than stiff smiles and rushed photo sessions. You deserve to see your family's real connection...reflected back at you.
My promise is simple. I'll guide you, photograph you honestly, and make space for moments you'll want to remember.
If you're like most families I work with, you want beautiful images and a calm, present experience.
Around here photos aren't about perfection—they're about preserving the love that holds you together. I'll guide you with gentleness and clarity, so you don't have to worry about what to do or how to show up.
the details
My style
Natural, honest, and connected.
Your session won't be too stiff or overly posed—it's going to feel genuinely you. I guide with intention (not pressure!) so that you're never left wondering "what do I do with my hands?" or thinking "I wish these kids would just behave!" I'll direct movements that feel natural, and let your family's connection unfold. The result? Images that reflect the way your family loves each other—the joy, the chaos, and the tenderness of it all.
EXPERIENCE
I'm here to make this easy.
As a mom, I know how overwhelming family photos can feel (especially if past sessions have left you stressed and unsure.). That's why I've created a simple, guided experience from start to finish. From location help to outfit prep and what to expect with littles, I'll walk you through it all—so you can show up relaxed and ready to enjoy your family. This isn't about perfection. It's about presence.

We might be right for each other if...
You believe love is more important than "perfect" (what does that even mean anyways?). You want photos that show who you family is, not just how you look. You value honest connection, calm guidance, and a photographer who sees *you*—not just the poses. If that sounds like you...we'll get along beautifully.
Kathryn has photographed my family for years. She has a knack for finding the best lighting, the perfect poses, and beautiful backgrounds to capture your memories in the most stunning way. You will not find a better photographer. Kathryn is simply the best!

Once your booking is confirmed, expect to get a questionnaire that helps me plan your session. I'll also send over a prep guide that covers it all—from choosing outfits to getting everyone on board.
When you arrive at your session, we'll spend a few minutes chatting about your hopes for the session. I'll chat with the kids and help everyone feel at ease!
Expect to see sneak peeks on social media within 48 hours (unless you prefer email!). Your full gallery will be delivered within 2-3 weeks depending on the season.
How do I choose a location?
I've been photographing all over eastern Massachusetts for over two years. There are the tried and true spots that you'll recognize, and a few hidden gems.
If permission is required for your location, I'll take care of those details. Some of my favorite locations require advance notice, so be sure to let me know your choice (from my list!) as soon as you can.
Have a new idea? I'm always happy to help scout it out and find out if it will work for your session.

AND REALLY, ULTIMATELY, BECAUSE
A PHOTOGRAPH ISN’T JUST A IT'S A MOMENT IN YOU GET TO KEEP, REMEMBER,
AND RELIVE
THE OF YOUR LIFE
picture,
time
forever—
art
I believe family photos aren’t about looking perfect—they’re about remembering what matters. The way your child reaches for your hand. The way your laugh lines deepen when you look at them. These moments are sacred. And they’re worth preserving.
Photos that stand the test of time AND don't feel forced or stiff.
An experience that is a memory itself AND portraits that you're proud to share.
A photographer who's *been there* AND a professional who knows how to find the right light at the right time.
BECAUSE YOU deserve it all:
frequently asked questions
Q. do you charge for extended family?
Absolutely not. Bring grandma, bring great-aunt Jane. There's such a small window of life where all. the people you care about are here...bring them all.
Q. Where do you travel?
I've done sessions from Ipswich to Provincetown, and I have no intention of stopping. Travel fees may apply beyond those towns, but it's always best to ask!
Q. Can we do our session in the morning?
With little kids, I get that it's easier in the morning. I do my best to accommodate, especially when sunset is after 8pm. But keep in mind, golden hour truly is the best time (especially on the beach!)
Q. Do you offer mini sessions?
I offer mini sessions on a seasonal basis. These sessions are offered only at a chosen location on a specific date, but offer a great value for busy families who only need a short experience.
Q. Do you offer prints and albums?
Yes! You can order from one of my professional labs for an additional fee when you receive your gallery.
