Stories woven in
warmth and wonder
It’s the laughter shared over a beach picnic, the spontaneous dance parties in the living room, the quiet storytime wrapped under a cozy blanket. It’s the way your child’s face lights up when they see you, the comfort of a family hug, and the small adventures—building forts, baking cookies—that make everyday life feel truly special.
Because childhood doesn’t wait—and the everyday moments you’re living now are already becoming the ones you’ll want to remember most.
I’m here to capture those simple, meaningful moments that tell your family’s story—not just how they looked, but how they felt.
When you look back at the images we create, you’ll feel the love, the laughter, and the joy woven through each moment—reminding you of the beautiful life you’re creating together, one unforgettable memory at a time.

Your Memories Crafted Into Heirloom Art
"We feel so fortunate to have had Esther take our family photos this spring. She had such a warm, welcoming presence that made us feel very calm and relaxed during our session. We have four very busy children with very different personalities and she made all of us feel comfortable. The photos that we received in our gallery were absolutely breathtaking. Every photo she took is a little gift, a treasure that I will keep forever!" — Katie Mallett
"We had a family session booked with Esther and I have to say it was the most organized, well-planned session I have ever experienced. She suggested outfits and activities we could consider for our family session. Esther arrived and brought the kids a special gift bag and immediately began interacting with them to ensure they felt comfortable the session was so fun and easy and felt like such a fun family bonding moment I didn’t know we needed. We are so grateful for such talent she possesses.." — The Spence Family
At the heart of my creative process is a love for storytelling that feels honest, layered, and lasting. Blending analog film with digital photography allows me to preserve your family’s story in a way that’s deeply emotive and timeless.
Super 8 film brings your memories to life with soft motion and that unmistakable nostalgic glow. Shot on real 8mm motion picture film, it captures the poetry of your everyday—tiny toes running barefoot through the grass, the way your child looks up at you, hands intertwined, laughter dancing under golden light.
This isn’t just film—it’s an heirloom in motion. A romantic, cinematic time capsule you can return to again and again, long after the season has passed.
As one of the few family photographers offering this vintage medium, I’ve lovingly woven Super 8 into my process to elevate your experience. It adds a layer of depth and artistry that still images alone can’t replicate. Paired together, they tell a richer story—one that moves, glows, and feels like the soul of your family.
Because childhood moves like light—fleeting, golden, and full of wonder. And your story was always meant to move with it.

Super 8 Film: Nostalgia in Motion
Childhood is fleeting—full of tiny hands, curious eyes, and moments that slip away before we realize they’re gone. My sessions are designed to capture these candid chapters of your family’s story, inviting you to step fully into the frame and savor the joy of being present.
We create a relaxed, playful atmosphere where laughter flows naturally and genuine connection unfolds—no stiff poses, just joyful moments of running, twirling, and snuggling close. I gently guide your family through authentic interaction so the love you share shines through every frame.
As a storyteller devoted to blending mediums, I combine the clarity of digital photography with the soulful grain of 35mm film and the tender motion of Super 8—each adding depth, warmth, and timeless magic that turns your memories into living heirlooms.
Afterward, you’ll receive a curated gallery of film and digital images (if selected). Every collection includes fine art prints or a handcrafted heirloom album—keepsakes designed to transform your family’s story into a legacy treasured for generations.
Because childhood doesn’t wait—and the everyday moments you’re living now are already becoming the ones you’ll want to remember most.

There’s something about film that digital will never quite touch—a softness, a soul, a sense of permanence. 35mm photography is at the heart of how I preserve your family’s story with intention, nostalgia, and artful emotion.
Shot on Kodak professional-grade analog film, each image is filled with gentle grain, rich color, and luminous highlights that feel like a memory already lived. It slows down the process, allowing me to shoot with more presence—choosing moments over poses, emotion over perfection.
35mm is where art and memory meet. It’s not just photography—it’s an heirloom created with light and care.
As one of the few family photographers who specializes in shooting both digital and 35mm, I incorporate this analog medium to bring added texture and depth to your gallery. The result is a collection that feels layered and timeless—images that breathe, that linger, that live on.

35mm Film: Honest, Artful, Timeless
From the first message to the final heirloom in your hands, this experience is crafted with care—so you can slow down, be fully present, and see your family’s love reflected back to you in a way that feels honest and artful.
We’ll begin with a conversation—about your family, the season you’re in, and the quiet moments you never want to forget. Once your session is booked, I’ll guide you through styling and help shape a gentle plan that feels true to who you are, with space for play, connection, and rest.
On the day of your session, there’s no pressure to perform—just space to be together. We’ll chase light, laugh loud, and let the little in-between moments lead the way. I’ll be there to guide you softly, capturing what unfolds through both digital and (if chosen) film—each frame holding onto the beauty of how this season feels.
A few weeks later, your story arrives. A gallery full of movement, softness, and light—ready to be held, framed, or passed down. Every collection includes your choice of a fine art print or handcrafted album, made to last for generations.
This isn’t just about beautiful photos. It’s about preserving the heart of your family—the way you love, right now.
