FRANKLIN FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHY
Family photography is about so much more than taking pictures.
The best photographs don't just show what your family looked like. They show what being together feels like — in a way that could only belong to you.
THE PHOTOGRAPHS YOU'LL COME BACK TO
Somewhere along the way, family photos became about getting everyone dressed, asking the kids to cooperate, and hoping for one good picture where everyone is looking. But your family doesn’t actually look like that most of the time.
Your kids might be loud, shy, wild, or attached to your hip. Somebody is probably climbing
on somebody while someone else needs a minute or is already halfway across the room.
That’s kind of the point.
The more your family gets to just be your family, the more your photos will feel like you.
I’m not expecting everyone to show up and suddenly become picture-perfect.
You get to play, move, laugh, and actually be together.

AND HERE'S WHAT THAT LOOKS LIKE
IF YOU'RE HOPING FOR PHOTOS THAT FEEL LIKE YOU...
And thinking while reading this...
“I want to remember my kids exactly as they are.”
“I want their personalities to actually come through.”
“I want our session to feel fun, not forced.”
“I want to look at these and think, yep… that’s us.”
THEN YOU'RE IN THE RIGHT PLACE.
We’ll talk before your session about what your family is actually like — the personalities, the dynamics, what everyone loves, and the things that feel most like you.
I want to know how you spend your time together, what makes your kids light up, how they’re different from each other, and what you want to remember about this season.
Because the more we know going in, the more your session can be built around your actual family instead of a list of things that could work for anyone.
Then when session day comes, you get to stop thinking about the photos and just be together.

As you scroll, don't look for perfect smiles. Look for connection, personality, and the little moments that become the memories.
REAL FAMILIES. REAL MOMENTS.
“Courtney was such a joy to work with and so easy to communicate with.”
The actual session was lighthearted and fun. aptured this phase in our life so well - the silly, the smiles, the laughter, the cuddles.

New baby. Big siblings. One very full house. Exactly the way this season should be remembered.
Five personalities. One family. That's the part I want to remember.
A little game of peekaboo made this one of my favorite moments from the evening.

FAQs
What should we actually expect during a session?
Think of it less like a photoshoot and more like time set aside to actually be together. You’ll play, move, cuddle, laugh, probably get a little loud, and slow down when it feels right. I’ll keep things moving and give you plenty to do so you’re never standing around wondering, “Okay... what now?” You get to focus on your people. I’ll worry about the photos.
WHAT AGES AND STAGES DO YOU PHOTOGRAPH?
I photograph families — whatever that happens to look like for you right now. Maybe you’re waiting on a new baby, settling into life with one, right in the thick of toddlerhood, or suddenly realizing your kids aren’t so little anymore. No matter the stage, the focus is always your family together. My sessions are lifestyle in nature, so we’re not building the whole thing around poses or milestones.
HOW DO YOU MAKE OUR SESSION FEEL LIKE US?
It starts before your session. I want to know what your family is actually like — the personalities, the relationships, what everyone loves, and what you want to remember about this season. We’ll use all of that to plan a session that feels like you, not something I could repeat with anyone. You bring the people you know best. I’ll help turn those little pieces into photographs that feel like yours.
WHAT IF MY KIDS ARE WILD, MY HUSBAND HATES PHOTOS, AND WE’RE ALL A LITTLE AWKWARD?
Honestly? I’d be more surprised if you told me everyone loved having their picture taken and your kids always did exactly what you asked. Almost everyone comes into a session with some version of this worry. You’re very normal. And truly, none of it worries me.
