Lets talk about
As a mama, I know how much goes into getting everyone ready for photos—and how quickly a beautiful moment can turn into “WHY IS EVERYONE CRYING?!”
That’s why I want your experience with me to feel simple, relaxed, and cared for. You don’t have to know how to pose, coordinate every little moment, or make your family look perfect. I’ll guide you when you need it and step back when you don’t, so you can focus on being together.
My goal is to create photographs that feel like you—the real smiles, the little connections, and the beautiful chaos of this season you’re living right now.
Because your story doesn’t have to be perfect to be worth remembering.

Step one:
Lets Be Friends
I don’t believe that photography is one-size-fits-all! I know that my clients are unique and I work VERY hard to get to know them and serve their individual needs! I serve a very specific type of client who recognizes that if they want joyful, genuine portraits of themselves & their family, then they need more than just pretty pictures. They need an incredible EXPERIENCE! The first step towards working with me is determining if we are the perfect fit! After getting to know you, we’ll determine if we’re a good match and then we’ll move on to the booking process! ...

Step three:
The photo-shoot
Let the fun begin! I'll arrive on location early and scout out perfect lighting locations to fit the occasion and flatter you. Once the photos star don’t worry... we’ll teach you EVERYTHING! I thrive at helping my models get comfortable and feel like themselves. After the first 10 minutes of your session, you will be pros. GUARANTEED. I’ve NEVER had a couple not feel at ease! Even if you think you’re not photogenic or if your husband “hates having pictures taken”, you will be killing it after 10 minutes have gone by! That’s all the time we need to get rid of nerves and start capturing the joy of this new season of your life!

Step Four:
Custom Edits
Your job is over and mine is just beginning. After your shoot I'll need about two weeks (standard session) to upload and apply custom professional edits to all of your beautiful photos. I prefer light and airy edits, and do not apply heavy filtered photo looks, or photoshop in effects, backgrounds or other fixes. I will soften skin tones, adjust color saturations, cropping, and apply flattering effects so that the photos look as natural and as beautiful as possible. Once the edits are complete I will share a sneak peek with my clients on social media. The sneak peek will be a teaser but will make the excitement to see the full gallery all the better.

Step five:
Online Gallery
After your sneak peek is posted, you will receive an online gallery full of all of your special memories! LOTS and LOTS of them! I encourage my clients to sit down with a drink of choice the night that their gallery goes live and enjoy reliving their day through their images! As soon as your gallery is delivered, you will be able to download high quality files that you can then upload to your printer of choice or contact me for some custom printing and design art options.

Step six:
love notes
I'm a total sap for a heart felt love note. Honestly, your kind words are so important to me and a HUGE part of why I love doing what I do. If you feel the need to share on social media or even with family and friends please tag me in the post and leave a few kind words about your experience. I love hearing from my clients how I made them feel, and what working with me was like. Word of mouth is the best marketing. I so appreciate any an all referrals you might be willing to send me way, but most of all I just love knowing that my clients love their images and want to show them off!

Every story is a little different, which is why I offer two session experiences designed to keep things simple but also intentional.
Most families naturally fall into one of these two options based on how simple or styled they want their session to be. If you're not sure which one fits your vision, I'll help you decide. Because your story deserves to be seen.
The Portrait Experience
Extended family sessions, multiple families, and large multi-generational gatherings are quoted separately based on group size and planning needs. If you have something a little outside the ordinary, just reach out. We can create something that makes sense for your people and your plan.
Cash is my preferred payment method.
Payment is due at the time of the session.
