Family Portraits

RAPID CITY FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHER

I make it a priority to schedule my own family photos each year. It’s been so fun to look back over the years to see how my kids have changed – from style and hobbies to personalities. I love seeing their genuine smiles and laughter, and even the resistant grin my husband will give as I’m sure someone cracked an embarrassing joke. Thinking about how I feel about my own photos, I want to give that same feeling to you. I know getting in front of the camera is not at the top of every parent or grandparent’s list. But if there’s one thing we all know, people are never in our lives long enough. These photos are a gift for your kids and for generations to come.

Whether you want the unique beauty of the Black Hills or Badlands in your photos, or something sweet and simple in the studio, your options are nearly limitless. Not only will we be capturing those sweet smiles to cherish years from now, we will also be creating art for your home. (My personal home decor style is “Oyler Children.”) Many of my clients particularly love seasonal family sessions…especially Simply Christmas in the Studio and fall color sessions.

And family can mean different things to so many people – so the answer is YES! Include them. Fur babies? Of course! Family reunions? I’ll be there along with your second cousin twice removed. If you’re going to be with people you love and want something beyond a selfie to remember it, contact me to set something up.

I love to capture beautiful family moments effortlessly with our simple and easy family photography in the stunning Black Hills of South Dakota. I offer both studio sessions (seasonally) and on-location shoots in breathtaking destinations such as the Badlands, Spearfish Canyon, and Custer State Park. My approach combines classic poses with genuine and emotional candids, ensuring a perfect blend of timeless portraits and spontaneous, joy-filled memories. Let me create unforgettable images that encapsulate the love, laughter, and unique connections within your family. Prices vary depending on session type and location.  Check out my current offerings under book now or get in touch for more info!
