Just the way family photos should be.

Stress-free. Joy-filled.

Let’s be honest—getting family photos taken usually sounds... exhausting. But it doesn’t have to be.

I’ve created a relaxed, playful experience that lets your kids be themselves and helps you feel totally at ease. No pressure, no stiff posing—just real laughs, sweet moments, and beautiful photos you’ll actually love looking back on.

Beautiful photos, without the pressure

the scarlet oak story

As a mom, I know how wild (and wonderful) life with little ones can be. That’s why I’ve built my sessions around one big goal: making it feel easy—for you, and fun for your kids.

No stressing over perfect outfits or whether your toddler will sit still (spoiler: they won’t—and that’s okay).

I’ll walk you through every step and capture the moments that matter most—the giggles, snuggles, and real-life magic in between.
