A MIX OF POSED + CANDID
I know the photos of everyone smiling at the camera are important. But I'm also I prioritize a mix of posed and candid with a touch of artistry thrown in as well..
YOUR PHOTOS
Your photos will be delivered through your beautiful online gallery where you can download, share, and print! You'll also receive access to my online print shop with gorgeous products available!
Throw out your preconceived notions on what a portrait session "should be," and dream with me for a moment...
Every family has daily rhythms, things you find yourself doing over and over - breakfast in the kitchen, going on a walk, cuddles on the couch, greeting Dad as he gets home from work, reading together, playing games and making messes, singing at bedtime. These kinds of images reflect the beauty of your everyday life and give you a deeper connection to your own family narrative. In 20 years, what are the rhythms and moments that you may remember in your head but you'll wished you could remember with your eyes...and show your children? Let's document those moments - the beautiful chaos and quiet tenderness of family.
If you're looking for something more than just a nice Instagram post, if you want timeless, beautifully-crafted images that tell the story of your family during this season of life, if you want photos to treasure for years to come, let's make it happen!
Things you don't need to stress about...
How you should stand or pose - If you haven't realized by now, let me say it one more time. I want you to relax and have fun. I'll guide you all along the way, and I'll throw in some fun and special ways for you to interact with your people so we can capture real moments.
What you'll wear - If you wear what you love, how can you go wrong? And pssst, if you want, after you book, I can send over my full Outfit Planning Guide.
How your kids will act - I get it, sister... But here's the thing, if the kids are a little crazy, then I'm here for it! My shooting style is to capture what unfolds while also seeking to create a space for fun and meaningful interaction.
hi, let's be friends
I'm Bethany and I'm here to document your story in a relaxed and meaningful way
I'm a go-with-the-flow Carolina girl, based out of Raleigh, but the blues and greens of our East Coast mountains have my heart. I'm also an adventurer, and my husband and I love to travel with our little fam (we also enjoy being home...I'm a firm believer you can love both).
Ultimately I'm a Christ-follower, and that's really one of the biggest things about me. My hubs and I have been married 7 years, and we have two girlies. Family is one of God's greatest blessings in my life.
