"You will never have this day with your children again. Tomorrow, they will be a little older than they were today. This day is a gift. Just breathe, notice, study their faces and little feet. Pay attention. Relish the charms of the present. Enjoy today. It will be over before you know it."

Client experience, my approach & pricing details


I know planning to get the whole family dressed and ready for a session, figuring out what to wear and thinking about struggling to get everyone smiling, and the kids to "behave" can be a bit of a daunting thought. But let me start by saying 2 things:

1- I will hold your hand making the whole planning a breeze! I will suggest locations based on your preferences; I have plenty of inspiration and recommendations to send your way when it comes to styling you session, and I also have a beautiful client closet with size inclusive dresses and some outfits for the kids that you will have full access to should you decide to use it.

2- I strongly believe that the most genuine photographs, those that are true to you, are not the perfectly posed ones with everyone looking at the camera and fake smiling. Sure, I always aim to include some "christmas card" style photos, but my goal is to capture the real connections , how you all come together naturally; the true essence of your family.


We want to capture the relationship you have right now, your story, your love. I'm not looking for your kid's cheesy smiles, but for their personality to shine through. Whether they want to run, jump, pick up sticks, hug you, we will let them be. So when looking back on these you're transported to this exact stage in your life, which is completely different from what it will be tomorrow. The objective isn't just to take pretty pictures, but to capture this exciting stage in life, perfectly imperfect as it is.

"It has long been acknowledged that family photos on display in a home help boost a child’s sense of identity and create a sense of belonging. 

Each time a child walks by a family photo, which is countless times each day, a message is sent—

"You, my dear child, are important. You matter. You have a special place in this world. You are a part of this thing we call family and we love you."

We had such an amazing time with Sandra. She made our photoshoot fun and a memorable experience. We would 100% shoot with her again and would recommend her with our eyes closed. Very profesional and delivered edited pictures at a timely manner.
Thank you so much for such wonderful pictures. They are everything and we love them.

Sandra has amazed me time and time again with her work. She always perfectly captures my family's personality and beauty in every photo. Her style is so unique and personal. I'll tell you what I told her when I just viewed our most recent photos from our shoot - they were more than I could have ever imagined and when I saw them it brought tears to my eyes. ... Also wanted to add - she is great with kids and a mom herself so she gets it, my son is hard to photograph and she nailed it! My forever photographer

Loved her from moment one upon meeting her. She’s so easy to work with and wants to create what you want. If you’re not quite sure she will suggest exactly what she thinks will look good and she sure did for us. I would highly recommend Sandra - our portraits are beyond beautiful!! I did a lot of research of reading different profiles of local photographers. I’m so happy with my decision to have chosen her! Thank you again for memories of a lifetime 😘
