about our approach
and who we are.

We bring a light-hearted approach to your photo session and always look for ways to serve you. We'll help manage and guide your kids throughout the session. We'll create pockets of fun to ensure it feels enjoyable. And we'll be sure to get those "look at the camera and smile" photos that mom wants. And the in-the-moment images of everyone enjoying each other as a family.

FUN-LOVING CREATIVES 

As seasoned professionals, we have photographed hundreds of individuals, families, and businesses. And know how to connect with, guide, and bring out the best in others—on and off camera. Be it headshots for one, a family of 5 or a 30-person team, we will work with everyone to make sure you and your images look fantastic.

While we can't guarantee you won't feel awkward mentally, we'll do our part to ensure you don't feel awkward physically. We bring a fun and calm demeanor that will put you at ease. We'll position you in good light. And we'll create natural situations that help you look and feel like you. Everyone on our team follows what we call a "posing flow" during our sessions. This ensures everyone feels comfortable, looks their best and we don't miss any must-have photos.

As professionals, we're experts in things like angles, lighting, timing, and composition. But, we not only know how to find good light, we know how to create it— indoors and out, light or dark. And because we carefully edit each of our images using our signature modern yet classic style, you're guaranteed to receive unique and timeless images that will tell your story. And last forever.

I have loved every interaction I have had with Lightly Photography. Each time I have had photos taken by their team they are professional, give great direction and pay close attention to detail, they are easy to work with and always fun to be around.

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING

hello!

With a background in fine arts, I originally wanted to be an art professor. Or show my art in galleries around the world. Today, I use my skills as an artist to enhance the visual experience of your family, business, or event. And create art inspired by stories. 

Since 2008 I've grown my studio into two brands, I work with a fantastic team, and I spend much of my time teaching and mentoring others.
