Welcome! I’m honored to be considered as the photographer to capture your family’s milestones and celebrations. Capturing the memories of families from all walks of life for the past 15 years and, as a mama of 3 not-so-littles, I see first hand every single day, that photographs link us to our sweetest moments in life. It is my goal to provide those moments through intimate and affordable photography experiences.
I hope to answer questions before they come up, but any & all questions are welcome at any point during our interactions with one another! I can’t wait to work with you.
Booking
The process of inquiring for your specific session, will lead you here, to our pricing guide, where you can choose the session that bests suits your family.
Once a collection has been decided upon, you will receive an e-mail containing your electronic contact for each of us to sign as well as an itemized invoice that shows a breakdown of payments and their due dates. From there, I will reach out accordingly to begin planning your session.
If a session that fits your families needs isn’t found in this guide, ask me about custom session building!
The Session
A session date is chosen based off of a date prior to your child’s birthday [or otherwise]. Roughly 30 days ahead of the session I will send a questionnaire to guide in the planning and styling of the session. In the weeks leading up to your session, we will confirm the session time around baby’s sleep schedule. All of the details for your session will have been worked out in the days leading up to it, so that the day of, is all about having fun & getting you the images you dream of!
Quality Images + Products
Each collection offers a select amount of digital images. Within two business days of the session, a proof gallery of the best images from the session will be sent through e-mail. These initial images will be unedited. Clients select their favorite images from the proof gallery according to the appropriate amount for the session that has been booked. There will be opportunity to buy more or all of the images.
Each image in the final gallery will be hand picked as the client’s personal favorites and will be edited with a bright, natural & timeless style with high attention to detail.
Please allow up to 3 weeks for the final editing process. After the gallery is completed, it is sent through email, with detailed steps on how to access the online gallery and download the images, along with a contract for printing release.
