Motherhood in Focus

Joyful Family Photography for Moms Who Want to Be in the Frame

One day, your family photos will mean everything. You deserve to be in them.

Hey Mama, I'm talking to you! The one juggling shoes, snacks, and homework while snapping photos of everyone else trying to hold onto every single moment. You’re always behind the camera, even though you crave being included in these memories without having to ask. 

Ready to finally step into the spotlight?

Join me for a family portrait session — a relaxed, mom-focused experience where you shine with your crew, laughter comes naturally, and your family is captured exactly as you are: beautifully imperfect and connected.

Darion was beyond amazing as she did extended family photos for us this summer.

She quickly pivoted on timing when the forecast wasn’t looking good for our original planned time ensuring we’d get great photos and not get caught in storm. She picked the most beautiful spot with perfect colors and lighting. She wrangled a wild toddler, sleepy newborn, cranky teenagers, goofy grown ups and kept it all calm for an otherwise chaotic group. And the resulting photos turned out better than we could’ve hoped! Thank you, Darion!

Hi, I'm Darion!

I’m a portrait photographer with 12 years behind the lens. Formerly all about weddings, now fully focused on families.

Capturing memories has always been my passion. And after welcoming twin boys into my wonderfully chaotic life, I really understand just how fast time flies.

Some days it feels like if I blink, I’ll miss it.

That’s why I’m taking more photos than ever in this season. But just like you, I’m often the one missing from the frame. I believe moms deserve to step out from behind the camera and actually be part of the story — not just the ones documenting it.

I focus on slowing down, celebrating motherhood in all its forms, and documenting your life in ways that feel real, joyful, and unmistakably you.

I’m committed to making your family portrait session completely your own. Whether it’s chasing a sunset in a park, lacing up skates for some ODR fun, or frolicking at the dog park with your four-legged family members — your session, your way.

This isn’t about perfection.

It’s about capturing this wild, beautiful season of your life.

These aren’t just photos. They’re memories your kids will treasure forever. Yes — forever forever. Every image is crafted to become a family keepsake.
