From the joy of maternity to the sweetness of newborns and every beautiful moment that follows, I absolutely love capturing families. There's something so special about documenting these stages—each one unique, fleeting, and worth remembering. My goal is to create a session where everyone feels relaxed, happy, and completely at ease. All you need to do is show up and smile—I’ll take care of the rest.
I’ll engage with your kids in ways that bring out their true personalities, ensuring we capture not just pictures but real moments filled with authentic joy. My hope is that your children leave saying, “That was fun! Can we do it again?” And when you look back at these images, you’ll see more than just photos—you’ll see the spirit of your family, frozen in time, and filled with love.

Hi, I’m Caroline! I’ve lived in Upper Arlington for most of my adult life, and Columbus holds a special place in my heart. I’m a mom to a sweet 7-year-old boy and a spirited 4-year-old girl, and we love making memories through fun adventures—whether close to home or across the globe.
Traveling with my kids brings me so much joy. Since 2023, we’ve explored Italy, France, Germany, England, and Greece. Next year, we’re adding Spain, Austria, and a dream trip to Lake Como. These experiences remind me how precious family time is, and I strive to capture that same joy and connection in every family I photograph.

These sessions have a lifestyle feel with authentic connections and the simple joy of welcoming your baby home.

Preparing for your session is easy! I recommend talking to your kids about it a few days in advance, sharing your excitement to make it something they can look forward to. Get them involved by letting them help choose outfits—it adds to the fun! And when it comes to bribes, I say go for it! Think of it like paying them for a job well done—sometimes a little reward goes a long way in making the experience enjoyable for everyone.
How to prepare
When choosing outfits for your family portraits, aim for coordinated, not matching, looks. Neutral tones, soft colors, and subtle patterns photograph beautifully and keep the focus on your connection. Avoid large logos or bold prints that can distract from the moment. Layers and textures add depth, and don’t be afraid to mix different fabrics! Most importantly, choose clothes that feel comfortable and reflect your family’s style, so everyone looks and feels their best.
