about
a unique approach
Slow Flow Sessions are about letting go of what doesn't serve you and creating space for presence, relaxation, joy, and exploration. We're letting go of bribing the kids to follow directions for an hour. Letting go of saying cheese, wearing uncomfortable clothing that doesn't represent your true self (same goes for the kids), and posing or engaging with your family in ways you never would in real life. Letting go of pressure and fear.
Instead, we're creating space for play, deep emotions - even the big, wild ones, and seeing the good. We're creating space for curiosity to take the lead. We're creating space for vulnerability, trust, and openness. We're opening ourselves up to receive, to witness, to enjoy the present moment and the absolute wonder of childhood.
I can't wait to meet you there.
slow flow sessions
WHERE...
…the unpolished is encouraged and celebrated.
…the essence and magic of childhood is cultivated.
...emotions of all kinds are welcome and understood.
...the flow is driven by curiosity, flexibility, and spontaneity.
…the space is held to make way for vulnerability and your true, authentic self.
The memory-making. Our time together will be an incredible memory for you to tuck away as one of your favorite souvenirs of this season of life. You'll receive your gallery a month later and can revisit as often as you'd like.
03 | Session + delivery
I'll share a guide with you to help prepare for the session - it's much less of a to-do list and more of a way to digging deep within yourself in preparation. You'll also receive a questionnaire created to hone in on what you hope to have captured, how you want to spend our time together, and what this time of life feels like for you.
02 | planning + Prep
Let's connect + check availability, and I'll share more about these unique sessions. We'll secure your session with a signed contract and 50% deposit.

We'll really sink into your rhythm at home. We'll chat beforehand and loosely prepare for a slow morning or evening together doing your favorite things with your most loved people.
Another option: splitting the 4-5 hours between two sessions within 24 hours (these work great for an evening together followed by a morning the next day, often including those first moments after the kids wake up).
