LOVE ME A GOOD OLD
CLASSIC FAMILY PORTRAIT…
BUT THAT ISN'T
WHAT THIS IS ABOUT
I always make sure to get that photo of everyone looking and smiling right at the camera, but those aren’t the photos that will bring back memories of your three-year-old’s obsession with rocks. Or the way your teenager snuggled with your family dog.
The photos that will mean the most to you are the ones where you’re genuinely connecting with one another. So that’s what we’ll focus on during your session.
True emotions. Genuine connections. Real moments.
Because you can’t get these goofy, sweet, sleep-deprived days back. And they really do go by quickly.
Let's capture this time in your families life in photos.
"My kids love Jake. He’s really really good with them. He knows how to make them smile and laugh. They’re only this age for this moment in time, so being able to capture them at these given points is so meaningful to me. Some of my favorite pictures are the ones he’s caught of us just laughing or doing something silly. We’ll be doing family photos every year for as long as I can make my kids do it.”
Ally & Brendon, 2018 - NOW
I've photographed this family every year since 2018, most recently in Telluride, Colorado! It's truly a honor to continue to document their life year after year!
“I WAS NOT EXPECTING TO HAVE SO MUCH FUN DURING OUR SESSION."
We want to capture what this time in your family’s life was actually like — tickles, toothy grins, tantrums, and all.
Your job during our session is just to play with your kids. You’ll probably leave thinking, “There’s no way we got good photos.”
You didn’t know family photos could be this much fun.
But when you see your images? You’ll see their personalities shining bright. You’ll see true, happy memories. You’ll see your kids having the time of their lives with mom and dad. You’ll see how much joy there is, right here and now.
I'll say it again for the people in the back.
"DON'T DO IT FOR THE CHRISTMAS CARD!
Do it because they’ll never be this age again, because you don’t want to forget the way they ran into your arms, because these will all be memories one day.
And you know you’ll want to hold onto them.
DON'T DO IT FOR THE
CHRISTMAS CARD
IF YOUR KIDS ACT LIKE WEIRD LITTLE LUNATICS, GOOD.
THAT’S KIND OF THE WHOLE POINT!
GET THE ADVENTURE STARTED!
That's why my approach is to make the process of working with me easy, low maintenance, and enjoyable.
Because being a parent is hard enough. Photos shouldn’t add anything to your plate. So here is how this is gonna go...
01
"JAKE, I'M A PARENT. THE LAST THING I NEED IS SOMETHING ELSE TO THINK ABOUT."
AND OH MY GOSH,
I GET IT 1000%
You're probably thinking:
Reach out through my contact form and we’ll get your family session booked.
WE'll PLAN THIS TOGETHER.
02
Tell me about your family and what you hope to have captured. We can create photos in your home or pick a location together.
LIVE THE DREAM!
03
Whether your kids are 5 or 35. Really. That’s all you have to do during our session. I’ll capture the love.
HOLD ON TO THE JOY.
04
They’re growing up, but that doesn’t mean you have to let go of this stage. You can keep it alive in your heart, hands and on the walls of your home.
CAN YOU SEE YOUR FAMILY MAKING THESE MEMORIES?
Because I sure can! And rest assured:
We'll make magic together!
As any parent knows, you can plan everything perfectly. Let things unfold in the moment. The way love always does. And you can trust that those unplanned moments will be captured with an expert eye.
They’ll become some of your favorite photos, too.
here's to the memories
"HE IS SO PATIENT, THOUGHTFUL, HONEST AND RESPONSIVE."
Five stars, all day, every day! We use Jake every year for family portraits and he is the absolute best. He always captures the most genuine and beautiful pictures of our family. He is so patient, thoughtful, honest and responsive. Would never select another photographer!

FAQ
Can we book a session in our city?
Absolutely! I share all of our travels plans weeks or months ahead of time so I can book sessions as we travel around. Follow along on Instagram or click over to the home page to see where I'm headed next!
HOW LONG WILL OUR SESSION LAST?
My sessions last for about an hour. Give or take some time. I know that kids are kids can be unpredicatble so just plan to relax and enjoy the time together. My goal is to create and capture memories, not watch the clock.
When & how will we receive our images?
Once your gallery is ready 1 - 2 weeks following your session, I'll send an email with detailed instructions on how to access and download your images directly to your desktop. You can also choose to share this email with your friends and family so they can download them also. All of my galleries remain online indefinitely.
I MEAN, IF YOU MADE IT THIS FAR, JUST INVITE ME OVER TO DINNER AND TELL ME WHAT TO BRING!
SERIOUSLY THOUGH, LET'S DO THIS!
