Life moves fast, but the moments within it, the quiet newborn snuggles, the goofy toddler giggles, the warm embraces of a family are worth pausing and preserving. I take a creative, storytelling approach to family photography so that your genuine personalities and connections shine through. I’ll pose and guide you into comfortable interactions and provide space for candid moments as well. Whether your family is playful and wild or quiet and snuggly, I’ll embrace your unique dynamic and capture the beauty in both the calm and the chaos.
I don’t just show up and click. I arrive like a director with a soft heart, listening to your ideas, scouting the light, mapping the flow, then coaxing out the real things: the giggles, the squeeze, the quiet. My work lives where craft and care meet.
Collaboration is my love language. Bring me your ideas. Let’s build a Pinterest board, choose a location that fits your vibe (beach, forest, at home, or a little urban texture), and pull outfits that feel like you. I’ll carry the technicals (light, composition, pacing, kid-savvy prompts). You carry the trust.
I offer transparent packages for different needs – from a quick mini-session to an immersive storytelling experience, so you know exactly what’s included and can choose what fits you best.

MY PROMISE
If you love movement, joy, cuddles & laughter - I'd love to document your family! I approach my sessions with a sense of adventure, an opportunity to have fun and JUST be yourselves. WE will take a few "everyone looking at the camera photos", but the rest of the time we will play and pretend that you are actors in a movie by following my prompts and suggestions! :)

Ina's work is stunning and she is wonderful to work with. Ina takes the time to get to know her clients and makes them feel comfortable and relaxed. She is well prepared, organized and very communicative. She has very reasonable timelines and expectations are always met, and then some. Couldn't ask for a better experience or more beautiful photos.
WONDERFUL TO WORK WITH WITH!

Working with Ina to capture photos of our family was an amazing experience. She was able to keep our toddlers attention and make her smile and laugh for the photos. She also was patient, kind and willing to work with us, a toddler and newborn. Ina made us all comfortable which allowed her to capture the best side of our family.
HER WORK SPEAKS FOR ITSELF!

We absolutely loved our experience with Ina and North Saplings Photography! She was professional, yet easy going. As someone who doesn’t always like getting my picture taken, Ina made it so easy and relaxing that my whole family had a great time! She took such wonderful photos of my family that don’t make us look stiff. We now have natural looking photos to cherish forever!
WE ABSOLUTELY LOVED OUR EXPERIENCE WITH INA!
