Sioux Falls Family & Portrait Photographer

Real life, real love, beautifully remembered.

Relaxed family, senior, couples and event photography in Sioux Falls, SD. No stiff poses, no forced smiles, just you.

Sound familiar?

“We’re just not photo people.”

Kids who won’t sit still. A partner who’d rather be anywhere else. That nagging worry you’ll look awkward.

Meanwhile, the kids keep growing and the years keep flying. You don’t want to look back and realize you’re missing from the pictures, or that the only photos you have are blurry phone snaps.

Here’s the good news: you don’t need to be a “photo person.” You just need someone who knows how to bring out the real you.

Sioux Falls family photography

Tickle fights, piggyback rides and the way your littlest still reaches for your hand. Family sessions are relaxed and play-based, so everyone, even the reluctant dad, actually has fun.

Extended family coming to town? Bring Grandma, the cousins and the dog. I’ll make sure everyone gets in the picture.

Senior year

Sioux Falls senior pictures

Senior photos should look like you, not your school ID. We’ll pick a location that fits your style (urban, prairie, rustic, or somewhere that means something to you), bring one to three outfits depending on your package, and have fun with it.

Nervous? Most seniors are. Give me ten minutes and you’ll forget the camera is even there.

Just the two of you

Anniversaries, “just because” sessions, adventures to the mountains. Celebrate your person.

Events

Sioux Falls event photography

Your celebration deserves more than a few blurry phone pics.

I photograph the parties and milestones worth remembering: birthdays, baby and bridal showers, gender reveals, anniversary and graduation parties, rehearsal dinners and welcome parties. I blend in, catch the candid laughs and the details you worked so hard on, and make sure the guest of honor gets the photos they’ll want.

  • $500 per hour with a 2-hour minimum
  • Candid moments, décor and details, plus a few group photos
  • A private online gallery to share with your guests

Questions

Portrait session FAQ

What should we wear?

Once you book, I’ll help you plan outfits that look great together and feel like you. Deluxe and All Inclusive family sessions also include access to my client closet.

What if my kids won’t cooperate?

Totally normal, and honestly some of my favorite photos come from those moments! Sessions are relaxed and play-based, so kids can be kids.

Where do portrait sessions take place?

All around Sioux Falls: favorites include Good Earth State Park, the Mary Jo Wegner Arboretum, Falls Park and open prairie, plus your home for lifestyle sessions, or the studio. I’ll help you choose the spot that fits your vibe.

When is the best time for a session?

Usually the hour or two before sunset, when that warm golden light makes everyone glow. I’ll help you pick the perfect time.

When should I book maternity and newborn sessions?

Reach out during your pregnancy. Maternity sessions are often scheduled in the third trimester, and we’ll pencil in your newborn session around your due date.
