Family and Newborn photographer

I’ve always loved the way photographs can freeze a moment in time. A tiny hand wrapped around yours. A belly laugh that you never want to forget. The way your kids look at you when they think you aren’t paying attention. Those little moments may seem ordinary today, but someday they’ll become the memories you wish you could step back into. That’s why I love what I do.

Family Tree Photography is about more than taking pretty pictures. It’s about documenting the people you love and the seasons of life that go by far too quickly. From growing families and newborns to milestones, motherhood, and everything in between, I want your session to feel relaxed, genuine, and true to you.

You don’t have to know how to pose, and your kids definitely don’t have to sit perfectly still. Some of my favorite images happen in the middle of the chaos—the giggles, cuddles, movement, and completely unexpected moments.

I’m based in Alpha, Illinois, and I’m proud to serve families throughout the Quad Cities to Galesburg and the surrounding communities. Whether we're in the studio, outside chasing the sunset, or simply letting your family be together at home, I want your experience to be just as meaningful as the photographs we create.

Because years from now, I hope you don't just look at your photographs - I hope they take you back. Back to the little fingers, the messy hair, the belly laughs, the hugs, and the people who meant everything in that season of your life.

Your family is your story. Let's capture it together. Contact me below to chat about your next session.
