You’re in the right place if…
If your kids are happiest when they can move, play, and be themselves.
If you’re always the one behind the camera
If you want a photographer who adapts to your family instead of expecting your family to adapt to the session.
If you want to remember the way this season felt, not just what everyone looked like.

“We’ve been working with Claudia for the last few years for our family photos. She’s great with our kids, and the photos always turn out beautifully.”

Hi, I’m Claudia. I’m a family photographer based in Blaine with a love for documenting connection in a way that feels genuine, relaxed, and beautifully imperfect. When I’m not behind the camera, I’m a nursing student, a Special Olympics coach, and someone who is always working on a sewing project or creative hobby at home. Coaching with Special Olympics has shaped so much of the way I work with families and children by teaching me patience, adaptability, encouragement, and the importance of meeting people exactly where they are. My goal is always to create a calm, welcoming experience where your family can feel comfortable enough to simply be themselves while I preserve the moments you’ll want to hold onto forever.
What do family photos look like in 2026?
In 2026, we’re leaving behind the stiff smiles and perfectly posed family photos. The moments worth remembering are usually the messy, joyful, blink-and-you’ll-miss-it ones: the giggles, the cuddles, the wild toddler energy. My goal is to capture your family as you truly are: connected, playful, imperfect, and completely beautiful in this season of life.
