Family Photography
If the thought of family photos feels a little overwhelming, I understand.
The outfit coordination, the kid wrangling, hoping everyone will cooperate for five minutes... I've been there.
My sessions are designed to be...
- stess-free
- flexible
- kid-led
So you can actually relax and enjoy the moment instead of just trying to survive it.
I work with young families to capture the real, messy, beautiful moments of this chapter—the ones you'll want to remember exactly as they were.
Less pressure. More connection.
I’ll guide your family the entire time so you never have to wonder what to do with your hands or stress about whether your kids are “cooperating.”
Some moments are playful. Some are quiet. Some are beautifully chaotic.
That’s real family life — and those are the moments that matter most.

Shyla was absolutely amazing! She was professional, took her time with edits, and was flexible with my 4 month olds schedule and adjusted our session time to meet his feeding schedule. We met with her to look at all our photos and choose what we wanted. We also ordered a BEAUTIFUL album with all our photos we picked. She also listened to all my ideas I had and captured the exact photos I wanted.
Would HIGHLY recommend her for your family/childhood photos!!

Family Portraits
What if my kids don’t cooperate?
That’s completely normal — and expected. I approach sessions with patience and flexibility so there’s room for kids to simply be themselves.
What should we wear?
I recommend soft, neutral tones and comfortable clothing that feels like you. After booking, I’ll send a style guide to help make planning easy.
What if I’m not sure what location I want yet?
That’s completely okay. Many families aren’t sure at first. During your discovery call, we’ll talk through location options such as outdoor spaces, in-home sessions, or a rented studio to find what works best for your family.
Can grandparents be included?
Absolutely. I designed the "Full Family Story" sessions to accommodate larger groups to ensure we get all the shots we need.
Where do sessions take place?
I offer outdoor, in-home, and studio sessions depending on the experience you want.
