Hi, I’m Clarice. I’m a mom, a photographer, and someone who knows how quickly these seasons of family life can change.
I love photographing families in a way that feels natural and true to who they are, not overly posed, but still beautifully guided. My goal is to give you photographs that capture more than what everyone looked like that day: the connection, the personalities, and the little moments you’ll want to remember years from now.
As a mom myself, I know how rare it is to get everyone together and how quickly children grow. That’s why I make my sessions relaxed, playful, and easy for families.

FAQ
Which location should I choose?
You really can't go wrong! I've photographed families at all three locations many times and chose each one because it offers a beautiful, unique fall setting. I also carefully select the session dates based on when I expect the foliage to be at its most beautiful. During the week of each session, I'll be monitoring the locations and foliage closely. If I feel the location isn't looking its best, I'll recommend another beautiful location so we can make sure your family photos have the fall setting you're hoping for.
Is 20 minutes really enough time?
Yes! I've photographed families at these locations many times, so I already know where to go and how to make the most of our time. I'll guide you through a variety of portraits and natural interactions while keeping things relaxed and fun. If you'd like a longer, more personalized experience with extra time, flexibility, or multiple locations, consider a Custom Family Session starting at $550.
How many photos will I receive?
Your Fall Mini includes 10 professionally edited digital images—perfect for holiday cards, a favorite frame, or a few portraits to treasure. Each image is carefully detailed and finished to look its very best. Want more variety, an album, several prints, or simply every moment from your session? Upgrade to the Full Gallery for $135, including every beautifully edited image plus a $50 print credit.
What happens if it rains?
I'll be monitoring the weather closely as your session approaches. If the forecast or conditions aren't suitable for your outdoor session, I'll let you know at least 24 hours before your scheduled session and we'll reschedule for another available date.
What if someone in my family gets sick?
It happens, especially during the fall! If someone in your family is sick and you're unable to make your session, we'll do our best to reschedule you for another available Fall Mini date, subject to availability.
What should we wear?
Neutral and earthy tones are always beautiful for fall and photograph wonderfully with the colors of the season. About a month before your session, you'll receive my Fall Mini Session Guide with tips, ideas, and everything you need to help your family feel prepared and confident in front of the camera.
Can I include more than 6 people?
I’d love to make your Fall Mini Session an extended family session. Additional family members can be added for $50 per person. Just send me a message before booking so we can make sure the session works well for your group.
Can I bring my dog?
Absolutely! Dogs are welcome at Fall Mini Sessions. Just let me know ahead of time if you're bringing your furry family member so I can plan accordingly.
When will my photos be ready?
Your photos will be ready within one week of your session, often sooner. You'll receive an online gallery where you can choose your 10 favorite images or upgrade to the Full Gallery if you fall in love with more.
Kind Words from Families I've Photographed
Clarice did an excellent job with our 30 minute family fall photo shoot. She had already scoped out the area by the time we arrived so we could get some fall foliage in the shots. She was clearly experienced with getting the attention of our preschool and toddler age children. She listened to what we wanted from the shoot but also took the lead on directing us. Thanks Clarice!
Jess Simprini
Clarice was up to the challenge of capturing my parents and my children on a very chilly morning. We navigated an active marathon route, mobility issues and two teenagers, but you would never know it because Clarice remained bright and calm throughout. The resulting photos were absolutely beautiful! I will treasure them for decades to come.
Katie Botha
We received beautiful photos with perfect natural editing, and she was great with our toddler which made all the difference.
