The details
your journey through motherhood deserves to be documented
I want your photos to serve as a beautiful reminder of how tiny your newborn felt in your arms, the tiny toddler arms that wrapped around your neck and the child who still puts their hand in yours. And I know you're usually the one behind the camera in your family, rarely in front of it, so let's take an hour to laugh, play, and snuggle, then turn your cherished memories into heirloom artwork that you'll enjoy for many years to come.
moments you'll want to relive...
Hey Mama, you deserve the best.

As a busy mother, your time is precious and I know you want to make the most of every moment, age, and stage with your family. Investing in your family or newborn photography experience is a wonderful way to create lasting keepsakes for your family.
Elizabeth Pachniak Photography is a full-service photography experience that strives to help you get your photos off your phone and printed in an album or proudly displayed on your walls so your family can enjoy them for many years to come.
Here's what you can expect...
choose your collection
04.
After your session, you will receive your final images in a beautiful online slideshow! Watch the slideshow as many times as you wish, and then decide which Collection you would like to purchase. Because it's important that everyone walks away with tangible family artwork, every Collection includes a number of Digital Images + complimentary Artwork Credit. Once you purchase your Collection, you'll have 30 days to download your images, place your artwork order, and get excited to enjoy your beautiful images in your home!
session day
03.
We will meet during Golden Hour (the hour before sunset) for outdoor sessions, or mid-morning for indoor sessions. Just show up as you are, ready to love on your family, and I'll take it from there.
My style is a little bit posed, but mostly fun and laid back. I like to get a few shots of everyone smiling at the camera (the good ole Christmas Card shot), but ultimately my goal is to create meaningful images that you will look back on and remember exactly what this time with your family felt like.

"Liz has captured my family throughout many sessions, and I will go back to her again and again. She finds the moments in motherhood that are fleeting, and that deserve to be remembered. Liz uncovers the sweet, silly, and authentic moments between me and my kids and turns them into treasured memories. Liz’s talent is witnessing the crazy chaos and magic that is me with my family, and creating photos that reflect the love we have, the memories we make, and the laughter we share. It means so much to me to feel the full weight of love for my children and family reflected in our photos—golden light and all."

Our Story
Most importantly, I am passionate about motherhood, and while it's incredibly hard sometimes, it's also the most beautiful and meaningful experience. I want you to always have these memories to look back on.
As a mom of three young children myself, I just know how it goes sometimes. I have plenty of tricks to help guide a session along smoothly so it feels enjoyable and effortless. And even if it doesn't feel effortless, I promise we'll still get great photos!
Not only have I sourced stunning, heirloom quality artwork, I also offer artwork design services.
As your family photographer, I know how stressful planning your family photos can be, so I've worked hard to create helpful Styling and Artwork Guides to that will help you feel prepared and excited for your session.
