Maternity, Newborn & Family photographer serving Ocala, Florida & beyond
Families
Your family photos are more than just annual holiday cards and a checkbox on your yearly to-do list. They are sweet moments, playful memories, and beautiful details your future self will never want to forget.
Your maternity photos tell the story of your love, sacrifice and anticipation for your new baby to arrive. Your newborn photos capture the pure bliss and beauty as you step into parenthood. And just when you think it can't get any better, your family photos will document all the warm hugs, wispy hair, adorable freckles and genuine laughter as the years go by.
As a mom myself, I can tell you that the years truly do fly by. Our kids grow and change so fast and we as moms lie in bed at night wondering how crazy it is and if we're doing enough.
One thing I know for certain though, is that the family photos we have are some of my most precious things. They remind us all the best times we've had together and how blessed we are. From tickle fights, playing in the yard, sweet snuggles and the silly moments in-between. From one mom to another, don't miss capturing these moments. Your future self will forever thank you.

Life is made of the little moments
Meet Katie
After 6 years of photographing families, I've only fallen more in love with what I do. It's truly an honor to document so many families beautiful stories. As a mom myself, I know how fast time flies and how precious these moments are for your family. When you hire me, you'll not only receive beautiful photos, but you'll gain a new family friend as well. With my relaxed and fun approach to family photos, I've been told over and over again how kids (and even husbands) love to work with me.

Your session day is here! Now is your time to relax, have fun and enjoy time with your family. I'll guide you through the whole session with meaningful prompts and actions that feel natural and genuine. (P.S. No kids are too crazy and wild for me. I embrace that because that's who they are. We work around that!)

The truth is, babies don't stay little for long, and life is more precious than we realize. Photos are the one thing that grow more valuable over time. I've never once met someone who regretted getting family photos, but I have met plenty of people who regret not getting them done.
because photos are the one gift that gain more value over time

Most families book sessions 3 weeks to 2 months in advance. This will give us plenty of time to choose the perfect location, plan your outfits, and find the best date that works for you.
When should I schedule my session?
Absolutely! I'll help you plan everything from the location, outfit suggestions, and what to do with your images after you receive them. I'm here to help guide you through the entire process. And if you have any questions along the way, I'm always a text away! My goal is to give you fun and memorable photos that showcase the love your have for each other.
Will You Help Us Plan Our Session?
For "Studio-Style" sessions, I have a mobile backdrop system I can setup in my clients home or my own to document simple portraits. My setup doesn't require much space and is a great option for newborn sessions, maternity and milestone sessions. If you're wondering if this type of session will work for you, let's chat about it! By answering a few questions, we can determine if it would be a good idea for your session.
What is a "Studio-Style" Session?
Yes! I offer albums, framed prints, metal prints and canvases. You can purchase these through your online gallery when I deliver your images, or we can schedule a time to plan out the gallery wall you've always dreamed of with a virtual or sit-down meeting. I'm here to help you every step of the way, even after your images are delivered to your inbox.
DO YOU OFFER ALBUMS or WALL ART?
Yes! My normal session range is up to 1 hour away from Ocala, FL. If you are 1-2 hours away, I do charge a small travel fee of $65. If you are more than 2 hours away from Ocala, Fl, we can discuss travel options. I am often traveling around the state and can accomodate sessions without travel fees. Please reach out and we can set up a plan!
do you travel?
Yes! I never want someone to miss out on family photos because of a financial hardship. Typically, families choose weekly or bi-weekly payment options for up to 3 months, with no interest. We can work together to find a personalized plan for you. Please note that photos or products will not be available until the total balance is paid.
Do you offer payment plans?
To book your session, I will send you an easy-to-use online booking proposal. There you can view and sign your session agreement, and pay your session retainer fee of $250. Your remaining balance will then be due 1 week before your session.
