Memories built, photos captured
Life isn't perfect, your photos do not have to be perfectly posed and edited, but they should be ones that you love!
Allow me to glimpse into your life and in return you will get natural photos, not overly processed or edited with presets. You do not need a clean, modern or aesthetic house to have beautiful pictures! I always find beauty in the simplicity of life's little moments. There are some memories that fade too quickly, and that is why an investment into photographs is one of the most important !

Just fill out the contact intake form! I typically respond within 2-4 hours but if you have not heard anything from me, check your spam folder!

Schedule a day & time
Pick a day, time and location, reserve your spot. Nonrefundable retainer fee required to hold your session date & is due with contract signing. Remaining balance due the day of or day before the shoot (with the exception of weddings).
For Newborn pictures, I ask for your due date, but babies come one their own timeline. They are sleepiest around 1-3 weeks but newborn photos can be done anytime in the first 12 weeks of life.I do try to skip week 4-5 as it is generally a more fussy time for baby! Mama might not feel up to it right away, and that is OK! More details given in inquiry email response!

FAQ
How many pictures will we receive?
Online gallery with a minimum of 10 downloadable images, unless otherwise noted for specific package, will be listed on contract. Each session has a different number of images. However, I edit the entire gallery, and the option to purchase access to entire gallery is available for an additional fee (listed price on contract). Newborn photos and wedding photo galleries are the exception, you get the entire gallery with no additional fee!
How should we dress for our family session?
However you want that makes you feel comfortable and your best! Color coordination is helpful, feel free to reach out for ideas! Neutrals with textures are ideal! Wardrobe can definitely have an effect on the result of your final gallery!
What’s the best time to have a session with a newborn?
Contact me to make plans around your due date. However it is whenever you feel up to it! Postpartum is tough, we can have a conversation about expectations of what you're wanting! Between weeks 4& 5, babies tend to be a little fussier as it is a time of huge developmental changes! I do try to avoid these weeks if possible!
Do you travel?
Sessions are outside or in-home, as I do not have a personal studio. I do travel within 45 minutes, but am willing to travel further, this may require a travel fee included in your price.
Do you do other special events?
Senior portrait, Fresh 48, Pregnancy announcements, First birthday, engagements, and more...contact me to see if I am a good fit for your needs.
Is there a deposit fee and what happens if I have to cancel?
There is a required nonrefundable retainer fee, although they vary depending on session. Your date is not booked until contract is signed and retainer is received. If you cancel, the retainer fee is forfeited, unless otherwise discussed.
Do you allow payment plans?
I know the economy is tough, and everyone deserves to have their memories captured! I do allow payment plans, it is simply the cost of the session broken into multiple installments so that it is not one large chunk taken out at once! You can feel free to reach out to me so we can figure out a plan that works for you! Final gallery is delivered only after final payment is received.
