Kinship. a sharing of characteristics or origins, a relationship by nature.
Kinship brings you beautifully documented photos of your people, your moment in time. We are all about taking a half hour before your session to chat, to plan, to just play. Or maybe you need someone to vent with afterwards and support you in your parenting struggles. We want you to feel like you are having a friend over. If that means helping you change diapers, get snacks, entertain your kids while you switch outfits, we are more than just photographers, we are your kin.

We provide the space for you, to just be you.
Your kids are allowed to be crazy and you are allowed to get stressed with them. We don’t judge, we support in any way possible, and give you a moment when you need it. We take breaks to gather your thoughts and calm your nerves. We give your kids breaks to get their wiggles out. We belt out Disney songs with them and join them for dance parties. Kinship is a new type of family photography. It's an extension of your community, and we are here to show you how beautiful your family is right here and right now.
COVID-19 Statement
I, just like you all, am just lost for words right now. This is a time that no body is comfortable with “normal”, no one knows what’s coming next, and yet time still passes, babies are being born, and kids are growing by the second. My number one concern in working with you family is that you all feel comfortable. If that means we shoot outside, or inside with proper precautions, I am working to be as flexible as humanly possible to make sure we are able to put together a session that works for everyone. When you schedule your phone call with me, we will talk about your comfort level and what you think will be best for you and your family. Please don’t hesitate to ask if you have any questions at all.
I have to thank you all for supporting me and my business through this shit-show of a year. I cannot wait to continue documenting your families. Stay healthy and sane my friends.
