Hey, Sienna here —

You might be wondering, “who are all of these 80s lookin’ photos of?” Meet some of my family!

I have always been drawn to pulling out my family’s photo box and thumbing through prints of my grandparents, parents, and brother and I as kids. There’s a certain magic about holding history of family in picture form — and that is what I want to capture for you.

Laid back and natural experience — hear it from my families!

 

“We really enjoyed our time with her and the photos were better than anything we could have imagined.”

The day of the shoot Sienna was extremely communicative, professional, and just a pleasure to be around. We really enjoyed our time with her and the photos were better than anything we could have imagined. Timeless, special, art. I’ll treasure them forever.

“Our favorite part of working with Sienna was that she really took the time to engage each of our children, to get to know them in a short time, gain their trust and capture their character.”

You took the time and asked questions to make sure we had a fun experience as a family as well as get the photos we were looking for. You captured truly happy moments as a family and I look back on the photos from that day and remember what a wonderful experience we had.

A bit about the experience with me —

 

  • We'll set up a time to have a phone call to get to know you as a family and what kind of photographs you're looking to capture. This is also a time you can get to know me and how I approach both types of offerings and ask any questions you have.

  • A time set aside to love on and be with your people. No pressures to be, do, or wear anything different. Someone is sleepy or grumpy? It's all a part of it. I'll give them encouragement and time, and capture beautiful images no matter what.

  • I am there to observe and capture those expressions and movements as they happen naturally between you and your loved one(s). I encourage you by chatting about life in between photographing! A laid back, no pressure time to enjoy a morning and/or afternoon with your family.

  • I will spend time with your images and send you previews within 72 hours and a final gallery within 4 weeks of the session date. I'll be here to help with any questions you have about printing, downloading, or the images in general.

“The day of the shoot, my husband and I felt completely at ease. As if we were walking through the woods with a longtime friend. She opts for minimal posing and more natural movements and shots.”

Having a phone call consult, I was immediately sure she was the photographer we wanted to work with. She took the time to get to know me, my story, and what was important to me. Sienna took the time to research a good number of shoot locations in the park, since we had never been before. What a dream of a trail she found for us! The day of the shoot, my husband and I felt completely at ease. As if we were walking through the woods with a longtime friend. She opts for minimal posing and more natural movements and shots. And sure enough, the finished product gallery she crafted for us took our breath away. We will cherish these pictures forever. Thank you Sienna!!

“My extended family are not photo people. In fact they never had a professional photograph of their family ever. So I was so nervous that this is experience would turn out terribly. But Sienna was perfect!”

She was calm, causal, and so indirect they had no idea she was even photographing them. When we got to the car at the end of the shoot-- they told me it was so fun! Fun was never the word I expected them to use…Sienna's skills were exactly what we prefer-- capture the moments-- don't make a photo. My daughter played, hard! Covered in water, mud, sand-- was just herself and it was great to document her- being her.

FAQ

 

  • Most of my couples and families feel this way! I encourage sessions to be a time for you and your family to do something you already enjoy together in a place you enjoy. I approach the majority of a session with a very documentary eye. When it comes to more formal portraits, I am very laid-back and encourage you to be in the moment with your people.

  • I have experience working at an outdoor school with children so I completely understand that having a stranger all of the sudden joining you with a camera can be a bit intimidating! This is why I spend the first little bit of the session chatting and exploring WITH you and your child/children. Trust is paramount!

  • No matter what we’ll make the best of it. Beautiful photographs are made in all types of weather. We’ll chat through what things could look like and come up with a back up plan!

  • I deliver sneak peeks within 72 hours of our session. You will receive your full gallery within 4 weeks of your wedding day!
