They will not be this
small next year.
Editorial family portraits in Las Vegas. Nineteen years behind the camera, five kids of my own who are mostly grown now, so I know exactly how fast it goes.

Family sessions
The ones you
keep.
Since 2007, I have photographed over 800 Las Vegas families. Some I meet through a newborn session, then again for senior year. What I make for you is not a set of Instagram squares. It is a record of who your family is, right now, in the exact way you already know them.
For families who want more than another folder of photos nobody opens.
In their words
“I honestly have no idea how you got so many good shots! I was hoping for one good one and now I have so many priceless pictures. Thank you!”

Hi, I’m Jennie
Nineteen years behind the camera. Five kids of my own, mostly grown now.
I have photographed more than 800 Las Vegas families since 2007. Newborns I met at three days old are now applying to college and letting me photograph them again for senior year. I know how fast this goes because I have watched it happen five times in my own house.
My kids keep me honest. I bring snacks. I know the light. I will follow your two-year-old up a boulder in a linen dress and get the shot.
Your gallery
Here is what you actually go home with.
Not a highlight reel. The whole story of one afternoon, the way it really happened. Every family leaves with a full gallery like this one, downloadable and yours to print.
How this goes
Pick your date
Choose your collection and an open date on my calendar. I confirm within one business day, then send your contract and invoice by email.
Plan together
A style guide, location scouting notes, and any questions answered. I want this session to feel like you.
The session
A mix of gentle posing, walking and talking, and the candid in between. I will put you in the good light and guide you, then let the real moments happen on their own.
Your gallery
A private online gallery within two weeks. Download, print, and hold forever.
Investment
What it costs, and what you get.
My families come back year after year, so my collections are built for that: enough time to actually shoot and a private gallery of edited images that is yours to keep. Professional prints and wall art are available separately whenever you want them.

After the gallery
Off the phone. Onto the wall.
The digitals should not just live in a folder you never open. Every gallery opens into a print shop with sizes and framing matched to your home, and I will design a wall arrangement or an heirloom album with you if you want one.
Archival prints, gallery-wrapped canvas, linen albums. The kind of thing your kids fight over in thirty years.

Before you book
What do we wear?
I built a full style quiz so you never have to guess. It suggests palettes, fabrics, and full outfits by family type. Link at the bottom of this page.
Where do we shoot?
Red Rock Canyon for gold-hour desert light (October to April). Valley of Fire for saturated warmth and negative space. Summerlin trails and Floyd Lamb Park for green and water. Your home for lifestyle sessions with newborns and toddlers. I will send two or three options based on your family, the season, and what you want on the wall.
How long until we get the photos?
Two weeks or less. Your private gallery arrives with download rights on every image.
What if a kid melts down?
They will, and that is completely normal. I raised five of my own, so I have seen every kind of meltdown there is. I plan for it: buffer built into every session and a rhythm that expects at least one good breakdown per shoot. The shots right after a meltdown are usually the ones that end up framed. I do not need your kids to perform. I just need them to be with you.
I hate having my photo taken. Can you still shoot us?
Yes, and honestly, most of the moms I work with feel the same. I mix easy posing with movement, so you get flattering shots without ever just stiffly staring down a lens. A lot of what I do is get you laughing at your kid.
My partner is not into this. How do we make it not miserable?
I keep sessions short and moving. Dads and reluctant partners usually forget the camera is there within ten minutes. If it helps, I can send my prep note directly to them.
What if the weather is bad or the wind is really blowing?
If the weather does not cooperate, we find another date that works. Vegas gives us plenty of second chances.
How do I prep my kids so this does not feel like a nightmare?
Tell them we are going on a walk with a lady who has a camera and might make them laugh. No haircuts within a week of the session. No new shoes. Feed them right before. That is it. I take it from there.
Do you help with prints and wall art after?
Yes. Your gallery has a print shop built in, with sizes and framing that match your home, and I can help you design a wall arrangement or an album. Most families print something. The pictures should not just live on your phone.
How do prints work?
Every collection includes your private online gallery of edited images, so the pictures are yours. Prints and wall art are a separate purchase, ordered right from that gallery in professional, archival quality so they last.
What about extended family or grandparents?
Add extra guests for $50 per person over 6. Tell me at booking so I can plan the session flow.
