You deserve a memorable & stress free experience


I strive to make every client's experience stress free and enjoyable from beginning to end. I'll be with you and guide you through choosing outfits, selecting a location, and curating gorgeous prints to hang and share for generations to come.

01. CONNECT


If you like what you see and believe I can capture your dream photos, let’s connect! Just fill out the contact form to get all the information to help us get started. We’ll find a good time for a short phone call. I like to spend a few minutes chatting with each client to learn more about what you are looking for, share the timeline and options available to you, and answer any questions you may have. Making sure you feel confident and educated is important to me! After we talk, I’ll send you a copy of the contract along with booking instructions and payment options.   


02. PLAN


Once your session is booked, we'll start planning your session. You will receive my All About You questionnaire so I can learn more about you. I want to know what you love, your preferred locations, outfit ideas, possible themes, favorite music, and a few other topics to help me build the perfect session. You will receive access to my client experience resources, including styling guides, shopping recommendations, and tips to get you ready and relaxed. We'll touch base 2-3 days before your session to go over any last minute details or questions, as well as consider the weather forecast and discuss rescheduling if needed. I do everything that I can to ensure I capture every photo you dream of receiving!


03. SESSION DAY


Let’s have fun! Your session is meant to be a happy and stress-free experience. Promise! I don’t put time limitations on sessions, so we won’t feel rushed. Looking for a short and sweet session? That’s great too! It’s all up to you. Just keep in mind that outdoor sessions will be scheduled 1-2 hours before sunset to ensure we get all the best lighting from that golden hour. Sessions are typically completed within 1-2 hours depending on location and outfit options. 


04. THE REVEAL


About 10 days after your session, you’ll receive your online slideshow where you can see all the photos from the comfort of your own home. You’ll have 48 hours to enjoy the slideshow as many times as you’d like and share with family and family. At the end of your 48 hours, you’ll pick your collection. Each collection includes a set number of digital files plus a complimentary gift card to help you start creating your desired wall art to hang in your home or gift to family.


gorgeous artwork + digital files = happy clients



Select Your Collection


I believe your favorite images should be printed, shared, and enjoyed for years to come! Each of the collections have been created with the mindset that a portion of your expense will go directly toward a printed piece. At the time of booking, you will pay a $100 creative fee and retainer. The fee secures your date and covers my time and talent as I work with you before your session, photographing your session, and editing your photos. It is non-refundable. After your session, you will be able to select one of the collections below to purchase after viewing your gallery. No advance commitment! These collections include both digital images and print credit towards prints and products that best fit you and your family.
