Spring photo season is here, and I know many of you are wondering where to capture those perfect family photos! After hundreds of spring sessions, I’ve discovered that the most magical photos happen when the location perfectly suits your family. Skip the overcrowded spots everyone uses, and let me introduce you to my three favorite […]

The Handleys are long-time friends of our family.
Courtney was Nash’s very first babysitter when I first went back to work after maternity leave.

Back then, they were early on in marriage with no kiddos yet.
But now, they have 3 amazing boys (!!!), and an incredibly full family life.

Offering family photos in studio is a brand new offering for Sunday Vibes in 2025 🙌🏻. I wanted to a little post to talk about why I’ve started offering them in the first place and to provide some answers to commonly asked questions about studio sessions! Also, this is a great time to share photos […]

Meet the Moeslein family. They recently did an at-home family photo session with me, and absolutely CRUSHED IT with their outfit choices. I love their use of neutrals, texture, tone-on-tone outfits, and how they coordinated without being matchy matchy. Winter family sessions often take place at home because the February landscape isn’t so inviting where […]

We are able to get quite a few shots of the whole family together without me really posing or directing anyone, which is so rare! It was really more like a documentary family photo session than […]

I had the opportunity to photograph the Latham family a few weeks back, just after Christmas, and I just love how these turned out. So much joy and connection, […]

this time of year is perfect for my favorite kind of in-home lifestyle family photography session. Bare feet, window light, cozy sweaters. Maybe a cup of coffee or tea. It’s all about the hygge vibes of being cuddled up with family.
