The session we will share together will be a relaxed 60 – 120 min long session. Local sessions are within 45 min of Omaha, but if you aren’t local and would like to book a session, contact me for a travel quote. I love having your family session take place at your home or at a spot that you love as a family. A place where you are most comfortable and a place where the kids can be themselves.
I approach these sessions with deep sensitivity and reverence for every stage of life’s journey—from tender newborn days to the evolving relationships of growing families. I strive to preserve these fleeting everyday interactions with an artistic eye that honors both their simplicity and their profound significance in the story of your family.

  • The Storytelling Session, 800

    Home is where life unfolds naturally – and my favorite setting for creating genuine family portraits. This session will take place in and around your home, capturing both the intimate indoor moments and the familiar outdoor spaces that frame your daily lives. My sessions blend documentary-style captures (the spontaneous moments, cuddles, and unscripted activities) with fine-art portraiture (thoughtfully composed images that evoke emotion and tell your unique story). Expect our time together to feel relaxed, pressure-free, and enjoyable. This is a space where you can simply be yourselves.

    includes:

    – up to 120 minutes
    – up to 2 locations, additional outfit changes
    – high resolution files + print release
    – online print + viewing gallery
    – add on film photography for +200
    – return client, 150 off

  • The Outdoor Family Session, 675

    For families drawn to nature, I’ll work with you to discover the perfect outdoor location – one with character and personal significance. We’ll find a space that creates a memorable experience for everyone. I’m drawn to diverse settings that offer both sunlit areas and patches of shade, or perhaps structures we can incorporate into our storytelling. Ideal for families willing to wade barefoot in a stream or cuddle together among wildflowers in an open meadow.

    includes:

    –  60 – 80 minutes
    – 1 location, no outfit changes
    – high resolution files + print release
    – online print + viewing gallery
    – add on film photography for +200
    – return client, 100 off

  • Motherhood, 500

    Motherhood sessions usually take place in your home—where you and your little ones feel most at ease—unless you’d prefer an alternative setting. My approach is intentionally laid-back and authentic. There’s no need to tidy up beforehand or stress about coordinating perfect outfits—I genuinely enjoy helping with these details. Simply focus on connecting with your children while I craft meaningful scenes and capture genuine emotions. I’ll arrive prepared with plenty of creative concepts, flexible plans, and gentle direction throughout our time together.

    includes:

    – 60 – 80  minutes
    – 1 location
    – high resolution files + print release
    – online print + viewing gallery
    – mother and child(ren) only
    – add on film photography for +200
    – return client, 100 off

“I’ve worked with Andrea over the past 10 years. I’ve seen her grow from a good photographer with a camera, to a photographer that sees people, light, and space in a way that’s truly an art form. She’s humble, and wants the best for her clients. Her approach is gentle and graceful and her images are ones that I come back to time and time again.

 FAQs

  • Family sessions are documented at a slower pace. This gives us time to sync into a rhythm. We’ll ease into it, setting the mood and getting comfortable for beautiful moments to unfold organically, with some gentle guiding. I keep it mostly documentary with a few classic smiling at the camera images.

  • I always love a classic photo of the family looking at me and always make time for those, but my goal is to honestly portray the chaos and intensity of early parenthood and family life. I will be there to watch your family interact with each other, playing games, cooking a meal together, planting flowers, running around in a field but I’m not one to force photographs.

  • Around 100-200

  • Absolutely! I require airfare/mileage, rental car, and accommodation. If you want to save on travel fees, try to find other families in your city, that may be interested in a session as well, and you can split the travel fees to save money!

  • Of course! I’ve put together a Pinterest board where everyone can gather inspiration. Feel free to take a look—and don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions!

  • Nudity is entirely optional for your maternity session. I’ve developed numerous artistic approaches to honor your changing form - whether you prefer to remain fully clothed, partially draped, or embrace complete nudity to showcase your beautiful bump. Your comfort is my priority, and we’ll maintain open communication throughout the session to ensure you feel respected and at ease with every pose and styling choice.

  • I deliver images through an online gallery with an unlimited image download.

  • My in-home sessions are 2 hours - this includes introductions, a home tour, outfit changes, switching locations, breaks, etc. Outdoor sessions are 1 hour long and are designed to take place at a single location with no outfit changes.

  • Around 3-4 weeks!
