Spring Mini Sessions!

Short, Sweet and Full of Real Moments

My mini sessions are designed to be easy, relaxed and actually fun for your whole family. We’ll keep things moving, follow your kid’s energy and capture those real, in-between moments that feel like you. Perfect for updated family photos without committing to a full session. Limited availability.

Includes your choice of 15 edited and retouched images with a chance to unlock your full gallery to keep every moment of you session. Most families end up wanting the full gallery once they see the images!

Want a little more time, more variety and a full story of your family? Full sessions are always available for a more laid back, documentary-style experience.

Don’t Forget Mom!

Photos that feel like your family.

Hey, I’m Wesley. I photograph families in a way that feels easy, natural, and actually fun for your kids.

I come from a family of elementary school teachers, so connecting with kids and following their energy comes pretty naturally to me. No stiff poses, no pressure. Just real moments, real connection, and a session that feels a lot more like play than work.

Most parents show up a little unsure… and leave saying, “That was way easier than we expected.”

That’s exactly how it should feel.
