I know getting your family dressed, ready, and out the door is a huge task already, not to mention throwing a camera in their face but I can promise you it will be worth it. My sessions aren't stiff and posed, they allow for kids to play, dads to make jokes, and moms to snuggle their babies. It's the real stuff I'm after. If you trust me, I know we can make gorgeous images you will cherish forever!
Trust me. The hard stuff is the good stuff
invest in Your memories
Investing in photography is truly priceless. Family photos freeze moments in time, preserving memories that you can cherish for years to come. Children grow up so incredibly quickly, truly in the blink of an eye! Having family photos taken regularly allows you to remember all those sweet details like little freckles, how your little boy holds your hand or even sweet smiles with missing front teeth.
My family sessions are meant to be an evening spent playing, cuddling, laughing until your belly hurts, and just CONNECTING. All I ask is that you show up, be yourselves, ready to BE together. I want to capture the way your children hold your hand, the way your spouse looks at you, the way you play with your baby's sweet curls and basically how you would be together as if i'm not even there. Sessions are about 1 hour in length and include all the best memories (around 50 + images) delivered in high resolution via digital gallery for you to download as well as professional prints if you wish.

KAYLA pontier
head photographer
The one always chasing sunsets and babies. Lover of nature, learning, and essence of family life, cherishing its simplicity and the bonds that tie it together. . I dream about mothers seeing their images and falling in love with their life all over again. I thrive in the beautiful mess of every day life and love to romanticize the simplicity that tells each family's story.
Through my lens, I artfully document the everyday moments that make up the tapestry of family memories, from playful interactions to tender embraces.
In my sessions, I aim to create a relaxed and natural atmosphere where families can be themselves. I believe in capturing authentic moments rather than staged poses, allowing the genuine love and affection within each family to shine through. I am able to transform ordinary scenes into extraordinary memories, preserving fleeting moments in timeless photographs that will be cherished for years to come.
