Too often, moms get left out of the family photos.
I know because I've been where you are.
Always the one getting out the camera when your kids hit a milestone.
The one with your phone by your side to capture everyone's faces on Christmas morning.
The one making family albums full of everyone in the family with only a handful of selfies (with the kids of course).
Well that changes now.
It's time for you to be in the family stories, too.
I'll be sure to capture the photos that show off all the joy, the quirks in the little moments, and the different personalities you love so much, but this time YOU'LL be in the photos, too.
When your kids are grown and everyone's flipping through the album from this session, they'll point to a photo of you and say,
"Remember when Mom used to always do that?"
Half Day in the Life
up to 4 hours
The most requested option for families because it gives everyone time to ease into the session and let everyone get comfortable to the point where they forget that I exist. This is the perfect amount of time for a morning routine (from breakfast to lunch), an evening game night and dinner, or a family outing, such as a day trip to the beach or the fair.

Your New Hampshire Family Photo Experience
No Posing. Smiles Optional.
You don't have to worry about perfection. Just wear what you're comfortable in and be yourselves so you can enjoy the moment. This leads to photos that really capture your family's unique personality. I've photographed families in jeans and a T-shirt, pajamas, mismatched shoes... you name it. Embrace you!
Honest Moments
I live for those real, unfiltered moments. It shows genuine emotions and interactions, resulting in photos that tell your family's true story. These sessions are also a great way to spend some uninterrupted time together, doing what you normally do.
Photos You'll Treasure Most
Having your family doing what you normally do is such an underrated aspect of these family sessions. These photos are the ones that will make take you right back to this season of life because they capture the essence of your daily life and special moments. Just imagine, in 20 years, your kids will love finding the albums from these sessions because they tell an honest story of their childhood.
HEY, I GET IT.
"Is it even worth it?" you're asking.
As your New Hampshire family photographer and a mom myself, I get how stressful it is to drag your family out for pictures. But trust me, this will be the easiest family photo session you've ever experienced. I'll blend into the background like an old friend tagging along on your family routine or adventure and I'll make it as easy as possible from start to finish.
[We got to] enjoy an activity together at one of our favorite spots. She photographed our candid moments together and left us with the most raw and beautiful images of our family in this moment.
Children grow so fast. I’m never in enough pictures, and certainly not many that I actually like. Karen has given me images that will makes these fleeting moments last a lifetime.
