RALEIGH FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHY
THIS ISN'T JUST ANOTHER FAMILY PHOTOSHOOT
Family life is messy and magical, loud and loving. These aren't portraits of stiff smiles or perfectly posed groups. This is your family exactly as you are, full of personality and genuine connection. As a family photographer in Raleigh, I’m here for the laughter, chaos, quiet hugs, and spontaneous moments that truly reflect your family’s unique story.
Some families book me annually to celebrate milestones. Others just realize it’s been way too long since they’ve had real family photos. Whenever you decide, we’ll capture your story authentically, no forced smiles required. Promise.
This is your real life, beautifully documented.
YOU’RE ALWAYS TAKING THE PHOTOS. IT’S TIME TO BE IN THEM
Because your story deserves to be told, too.
Too often, parents (especially moms!) are the ones taking the pictures instead of being in them. Professional family photography changes that. It's about preserving the moments you'll long for: tiny hands that won't stay little, teenagers who grow faster than you expect, and everyday interactions that define your family. Whether it’s an annual tradition or your very first family session, you deserve meaningful images that include you and reflect your genuine connections. Curious what these relaxed, storytelling sessions really look like? View my Family Portfolio to see sessions from around Raleigh.

Whether you're most yourselves running around outdoors, relaxing at home, or exploring your favorite local spots, playing with your dog off leash in the backyard, we’ll find a place that feels right for your family's energy.

I don’t believe in perfect photos. I believe in real ones, the kind that take you back to this moment in your family’s story. Family photography isn’t just smiles and poses. It’s a toddler reaching for your hand, a partner watching you when you’re not looking, love lingering in the chaos. I use gentle prompts, never stiff poses, to help you be present with each other. The goal is vibrant, heartfelt images you’ll treasure for years. Your family photography session pricing includes:
Outdoor or at home session
Pre-session communication and questionnaire

“I've always felt like having photos taken can be an awkward experience, especially with someone you don't know. That's not the case with Devin! She has a comforting vibe that makes working with her easy to begin with. We received very high quality photos quickly! What stuck out to us though, was her ability to capture the sincere moments. You know, like that REAL laughter instead of just a staged smile? We knew immediately that she was our permanent family photographer.”
