Your annual reminder that family photos do not, in fact, require beige. 🖤

They can be strange.
They can be spooky.
They can look like your family just stepped out of a gothic novel with a deeply suspicious inheritance and several secrets no one speaks of.

Spooky Sessions are back, weirdos. 👻

Come as you are. Come in costume. Come with your coven. Come covered in blood. Just come ready to play.

I’ll have the pumpkin heads, ghost get-ups + smoke machine waiting.

There are family photos… and then there are FAMILY PHOTOS. ⚡️

Every year, we dream up something a little ridiculous for our family photos, and every year @lindseygomesphoto replies, “say less.” 😂

Lindsey has been photographing our family since there was a family to photograph. She’s documented us growing up alongside each other, watched Phoenix grow through her lens, and somehow continues to enthusiastically participate in whatever nonsense I bring her.

This year: Stranger Things. 🧇🚲🩸

As a photographer, I spend so much of my life preserving everyone else’s people. There’s something incredibly special about getting to step onto the other side of the camera and trust someone else to preserve mine.

And THESE?!?!

I will never recover.

Consider this your permission slip to get weird with your family session. Your photos don’t have to look like anyone else’s family photos. They can look like you. 🖤
