My in-home sessions begin at 12:00 pm and my outdoor sessions begin about 90 minutes before sunset. These times tend to provide the best light. Once you've decided to book, you'll sign a digital contract and pay a session fee to secure your date!
01. Book your session
After you book you will get the necessary guides and resources needed to help you feel best prepared for your day. You'll also fill out a brief questionnaire to help me get acquainted with your family before our time together. As always leading up to session day, I'm a resource for absolutely any questions you may have!
02. Planning begins:
Your session will last about an hour, maybe a bit longer for newborns. It will be relaxed and natural, with no awkward poses or begging the children to smile. Instead, I'll guide you with prompts and natural poses to elicit authentic moments and laughter.
03. We make magic happen:
A couple weeks after your session, you'll receive a slideshow of about 50-100 images, and you'll have the option to purchase one of my collections. This allows you to view the images first and then make a purchase decision based on your budget and needs.
04. The reveal
Once you've purchased a Collection, you'll have immediate download access and you can shop your gallery store. This is the fun part, but it's also the most important part! Buying prints ensures that you have something tangible from your session that will last.
05. Download & Print
That favorite stuffed animal they carry everywhere, or how your baby's nursery looked when you brought them home can so easily fade with time. Together we will make sure we capture all the details and the essence of your families love, truly and authentically.
I love to share the images of my families as it's the best way to show others my work. However I will never share your images without your permission.
Sometimes things come up or kids get sick. I'd much rather photograph your family when everyone is feeling their best and so if you need to reschedule, that's ok. If we have an outdoor session scheduled and it rains, we will reschedule at your convenience!
As a well seasoned family and newborn photographer, I am fully aware that birth and newborns can be unpredictable. For that reason, we will pick a tentative date upon booking your session. I will expect an email or text when baby arrives so we can arrange a new date for your session. I only take a select number of sessions per month so that I am able to better accomodate my families
Yes! When your gallery is delivered and you have purchased your collection, that's when the fun starts! My personal print store allows your to print your images on high quality photo paper in an assortment of sizes and gifts. You are able to print wherever else you please, but I highly recommend my print shop for quality purposes.
All images in your final gallery will have my unique and personal overall color enhancing edits as well as skin retouching, teeth whitening for adults, and fixing any major eye sores and blemishes such as acne. My editing does not include altering of your body in any way. Additional editing fees will apply if requested.
After your session, your images will be presented to you in a beautiful and modern online gallery approximately 2-3 weeks after your session.
Watermarks will be present during your gallery reveal. Your purchased collection will be delivered to you completely free of watermarks in both web size and high resolution quality.
My sessions include immediate family only. Grandparents and additional families can be added at an additional rate. Please inquire for details.
