As parents, we often wish that we could somehow freeze time. With family portraits, all of your beloved stages in life are documented and will be cherished over your lifetime. Each family photo session is unique and reflects the style and values of you and your loved ones.
Let’s freeze Time
“Our family has been fortunate to work with Luci two times in a year span… Luci is an amazingly talented photographer who has an eye for what feels ordinary and becomes extraordinary. She kept us laughing as she changed our positions and poses to capture the best of our family. She even kept two pre-teens excited for what was next. We look forward to working with Luci again!!”

frequently asked questions
"With our oldest daughter graduating high school, it felt important to capture our little family before she leaves for college. I love urban settings & appreciate how much natural beauty we live with in the city. Luci is warm & caring , artistic , easy to connect with and made the whole process wonderful start to finish. She made us feel comfortable during the shoot and the results are natural, honest really beautiful photos. I am so grateful to have worked with her. "
"Luci created an experience that fit our family perfectly"
Luci was very attentive to every detail and made sure that the entire process was as smooth and easy as possible."
"Luci was great and was able to efficiently round up our entire group and get group and individual pictures done in record time.
Friends rave about how connected and happy we look together. Luci is truly talented and I recommend her without reservation!"
"With 5 of us, there's never been a family picture that everyone liked, until now! Luci somehow brought out the best in everyone *at the same time*.
I couldn’t decide on some photos and Luci was so helpful in helping pick the best options. The final result is great and will return again in the future!"
"We absolutely love our family photos. Luci did a great job capturing all three of us and made it seem effortless.
"Luci is a really gifted photographer who brings out something unique and authentic in her subjects. She really captured the essence of our family, and I highly recommend her for any photography projects."
End-to-end, we couldn't have had a better experience!"
"Luci is a great communicator and makes everyone feel relaxed and comfortable, which shows in the final pictures.
Her friendly demeanor had my teens instantly comfortable with her which led to capturing our family in a wonderful way. She had a knack for positioning us with only a few instructions so that everyone, especially the kids, stayed relaxed. The whole experience, level of professionalism, and rapid response (prep for the shoot, answering questions, final photos) was exceptional. She took so many excellent photos, it was hard to pick. I highly recommend Luci for family portraits and headshots."
"Our photos turned out amazing! She made the whole process incredibly easy.
I have worked with her on two family projects. I've learned that Luci has multifaceted talents - she is great with kids, she is able to gently direct and organize a large group, and her follow up skills are extraordinary. Luci's instructions for every step are very clear, you will never have to wonder 'what's next?'."
"If you are looking for an artist who is deeply gifted in her photography skills AND also superbly organized and professional, look no further!
She was a thousand steps ahead of us and any fears we may have had. I genuinely don't think my husband or I have ever liked pictures of ourselves. Even our wedding photos were just ok in comparison. Thank you Luci, for your creative eye, your humble yet professional guidance, your thorough and amazingly quick editing and of course, the beautiful photos!"
She was a thousand steps ahead of us and any fears we may have had. From direction on what to wear, including day of direction regarding weather conditions and down to the very specific details about timing, order and what to expect. Luci educated the kids about her equipment, and even asked them to assist her with some shots! They felt so important, and best of all they were at ease, which put us all at ease. Thank you Luci, for your creative eye, your humble yet professional guidance, your thorough and amazingly quick editing and of course, the beautiful photos!"
"Our family made the best decision in working with Luci.
Luci was warm and welcoming and my kids instantly took to her. In fact, my 3 year old still asks when he can go back to the park to play and take photos with Luci. Luci did wonderful touch ups and none of our photos were overly photoshopped. Our only problem was that Luci took so many beautiful photos that is was hard to just pick a few!"

I would recommend Luci in a heartbeat to anyone. She is so professional and easy to work with. She made us all so comfortable and I am in love with all the photos she took! "
"I am so thankful that we booked a family photo session with Luci. She was kind, warm, professional and super easy to work with.
You know how moody teenagers can be, but in minutes she had them comfortable and smiling, taking varied shots, and radiating happiness it’s so rare to see captured in teenage boys. I engaged Luci to take professional headshots for a women’s group that I’m involved with, and the rave reviews from women of all ages, ethnicities and backgrounds speak for themselves....she’s remarkable!"

"I saw the photos Luci took of our school’s track team, and it inspired me to ask her to do a photo shoot with my two teenage boys.
