Family Sessions are the Heart of My Photography

Together we spend time creating memories for your family, captured on camera.

My style combines posed portraits with natural, artistic moments.

Outdoor sessions are especially beautiful and glowing during the golden hour, when photos tend to be sun-kissed and softly lit. Sessions can also take place indoors, at my photo studio in Midtown Sacramento or your home.

These sessions are intended for immediate family (up to 6 household members), and I've had the occasional beloved family dog join in too. Extended family sessions may also be requested at a different rate.

Reach out via my contact form. I'll send you a brief questionnaire and start a conversation about a photo shoot for your family.

Once the session fee is completed, we'll confirm a date and location — outdoors, at my studio or in your home. We'll also begin planning your outfits.

This is when the magic happens! We'll work together to create natural, relaxed and loving family portraits.

In 3 weeks of your session date, an online slideshow gallery will be sent to you and you can choose your collection for digital downloads and prints.

"Jules captures the love and depth of emotion a family
shares so beautifully. She is meticulous when it comes
to details — lighting, atmosphere, angles — and provides
guidance without being overly prescriptive. The result is the
perfect blend between a portrait session and a photo-
journalistic style that captures a family's natural movements
and gestures. She has a true gift."
