Whether you're planning an intimate wedding, the BIG shindig, or looking to capture your growing family, I am here for you. Let's start the discussion. Let's get those moments recorded in a way that is authentic to you so that as the years pass you'll be able to revisit, enjoy, and remember these moments. 

Capturing the very essence of who you are here and now is my top priority. If these past few years have taught us nothing else, it's that life can change in the blink of an eye.

Our moments with our loved ones are precious and should be cherished. It's my goal to honor and document those connections.

The magical process
01/05

First, you'll need to decide the time of year you'd like to have your photos taken. My favorite AND the prettiest lighting is the golden hour which is the hour before sunset. You'll want to take that into consideration as you're planning.

Family and senior sessions are popular in the summer and fall. You'll want to inquire early if you'd like a custom session. 

Mini sessions are limited and locations and dates are set by me. 

Hey friend,
let's Get Started!

02/05

Using my booking link, first you'll select a date and time that's available then you'll select the package you'd like. 

Next, you'll sign the contract, complete the questionnaire, and pay your deposit. 

Once that information is confirmed, you'll receive access to your client portal. Here you'll have all of these details organized for you!

>>You're now booked! 

Let's DO THIS!

03/05

Now that you've booked, it's time to plan your outfits! I will send over a client wardrobe guide.

We can start with my client closet, we will setup a try on appointment at my studio. I am also happy to help you "shop your closet" and field any questions to help you pull together the perfect look for your session.

session theme

04/05

At your session be prepared for fun. Your session will be a variety of posed and interactive moments. Don't worry if you're not comfortable in front of a camera, that's my job to help you feel comfortable. 

let's have fun!

05/05

Three weeks following your session you'll have your final gallery. You'll be able to share your gallery with loved ones near and far.

For years to come these photos will enable you to reminisce about this moment in time.

You'll remember the feelings forever

For an outdoor session, with the exception of weddings of course, if bad weather is forecasted we will check the day of and make a course of action. We all know how quickly the weather can change and how inaccurate forecasts are so let's not abandon ship TOO quickly. I want you to love your photos and none of us want to hang out in the rain for them. We can reschedule for another date if the weather doesn't cooperate.

WHAT Happens if the weather is bad?

Absolutely! Your deposit can be transferred to a new session within 60 days of the originally scheduled session. You can also upgrade your package at any time as well.

CAN WE MAKE CHANGES AFTER BOOKING?

If you have a special spot in mind, we can totally explore that as an option. If you don't have a location in mind, I have locations that I typically use and will be happy to discuss those options as well.

Where will the session take place?

The retainer/deposit secures a slot on my calendar.

WHAT IS A RETAINER/Deposit?

You might have been surprised how far in advance my bookings can be.
  >>Don't wait.  Earlier is BEST! 
Weddings: ASAP!!! I book at least a year in advance for popular dates.
Newborns: Booking around 3 months before your due date is a good idea!
Seniors: EARLY is best...by MARCH! I only photograph seniors in June, July, & August.
Families: Full session summer and fall slots are limited. Three months is advised.
