parenting is quite the ride…

 

There is no better time than now to preserve your family’s love story.

The days can be long and weary at times, but the next thing you know the seasons you have shepherded your children through have passed in the blink of an eye.

YOU WILL ALWAYS BE GRATEFUL YOU DID THIS NOW.

When you are knee deep in eye rolls and tantrums, covered in spit-up, or exhausted to the core, you can look at the family pictures on your walls, and feel the chaos around you settle and slip away.

When your children have left the nest, these photographs preserve their tiny hands, missing teeth, awkward transitions for you to not only reflect upon, but also for them to show their children one day.

THE TIME IS NOW.

Let's Make Magic

Family Sessions

I want you to have photographs that ground you on the hard days; that make you smile; that fill your heart and soul.

Newborn Sessions

Welcoming a new baby into your family is an incredible experience. Your body is tired; you are filled with emotion- exhaustion, love, excitement, anxiety. And the world is a beautiful, messy blur.

Maternity Sessions

Whether it’s your first child or your fifth, the journey into motherhood deserves recognition.

 

What to Expect

A Personalized Approach

Every booking begins with a short phone call where I can answer your questions, collaborate ideas for your session, and firm up a date. From there, booking is easy peezy lemon squeezy.

I use a questionnaire to get to know your family, which allows me to highlight your family’s awesomeness. I provide you with a client prep guide, which has everything from clothing recommendations to how to prepare your children for the session.

Session Time, Baby!

Woohoo! Here is the fun part! I'll initially get everyone comfortable with a few poses and shutter clicks, and then we let the session unfold. I want you to twirl, dance, snuggle into your partner, breathe in your babies, kiss, laugh, and enjoy this time you have together, unplugged from everything else. I've been doing this a long time and spent years as a social worker- there's very little I haven't seen and not much phases me- so take a deep breath, relax, and know I GOT YOU!

Archival-Quality Prints

We all plan on printing, but photos always end up living on our computers and phones. I’ve taken the headache out of getting your images printed!

A few weeks after your session, you’ll be presented with your images and will choose your package (each of which contains digitals and print credit). From there, in a few clicks, you’ll design an album or order museum-quality prints, acrylic art, canvas, or framed prints using the print credit from your purchased collection, delivered straight to your doorstep!

 

 WHAT THEY’RE SAYING

Client Raves

“Jocelyn was the ultimate professional while making us feel so comfortable in our skin. And my husband even enjoyed the shoot - which says a lot!!! ” #dadapproved

— Cat M. —

“I cannot even begin to put into words how much I LOVE seeing these, especially during a time I’m feeling at my lowest as a mama. There is not one I don’t love. I’m hardly ever in pics. I see how my kids look at their dad but rarely do I see the way they look at me. I am eternally grateful for these.”

— Krystal B. —

“Jocelyn doesn’t just take an amazing photo- she captures everyone’s personalities, and what makes each child special. She engages with them during the process, and allows them to shine beyond the smile. My favorite pictures are when she captures them in a vulnerable moment; when their eyes tell a story.”

— Jocelyn H. —

“Jocelyn has a demeanor that puts people at ease. I was amazed with how she worked with all of us. She was extremely flexible during the session and effortlessly captured everyone’s personality, including my free-spirited two year old. She’s professional yet approachable, prompt, and responsive. I was blown away by the end product! There is no denying her work is high quality and strikes that perfect balance of documenting our life stage while turning it in an art form.”
