Your Story Starts Here

I don't just take pictures, I capture the real stuff. Messy hugs, big laughs, and the little in-betweens that make your family yours. From maternity to seniors and every stage in between, your photos become heirlooms that live on your walls and in your hands, not lost on a screen.

Your story

Storyteller &
Memory Keeper

Meet Ruby (she/her)

I don't do fake smiles. I do belly laughs, bear hugs, and the fleeting moments that turn into forever memories. The kind you'll treasure long after the laundry pile is gone. Because these aren't just photos, they're proof of the love that fills your home.

Fueled by coffee, driven by connection...

I’m Ready for the Real Stuff

You want beautiful photos, but the thought of planning a session feels overwhelming. The outfits, the kids, the stress... will it even be worth it?

I see you. That's why I make sessions feel easy, natural, and even fun. No stiff poses, no pressure. Just real moments, captured effortlessly.

And because your memories deserve more than a screen, I'll help you turn them into heirlooms you can hold, frame, and pass down for generations. Whether it's the giggles of your little ones, the quiet love between you and your partner, or the celebration of graduating, these are the moments worth keeping.

Forget perfect. Let's Capture What's Real.

Get Me In the Frame

no more someday. The love, the laughs, the right-now moments... don't miss them. Get in the photo.

After your session, you will receive a private online gallery where you will have three days to choose your favorite images. Any artwork you order includes the matching digitals. That way, you can enjoy your memories both in your hands and on your screen to share for years to come.

This is the fun part. Once your hair and makeup are done, you get to focus on making memories with your family. I will guide you every step of the way so you feel comfortable, confident, and truly present. You can relax knowing I will capture the moments that matter most.

We’ll start with a questionnaire so I can get to know you and your vision. Want more hands-on planning? We can hop on a call to go over outfits, locations, and every detail. Prefer to handle it on your own? That works too. Either way, I will make sure you feel fully prepared for your session.

We did our photo session in Paris, France. It was INCREDIBLE. Ruby took the time to send us outfit ideas and a checklist of tips to ensure we get the best photos out of our session. When we met in Paris she had the BEST spots to shoot and she made us feel so comfortable and beautiful in front of the camera.

" I will recommend Ruby to anyone who needs photos taken!! EVER. I wish I could give her 100 stars!"

– Melissa P. | Family Session

I am so happy we chose Ruby as our family photographer. She made the process seamless, she made us very comfortable, and she offers so much helpful information in regard to location and clothing options. The photos turned out SO beautifully.

"Ruby truly captured the love we have for each other and somehow managed to make us look like superstars!"
