My goal as a photographer is to deliver more than just beautiful, bright photos. I want each of my clients to walk away with an experience that makes them feel as confident and natural as the rest of the world sees them. That is why I make sure to guide you through each step of the process – from deciding on your outfits, to picking out the locations, to posing and making sure you’re represented as your best self.
I believe in doing more than just showing up and taking your photos...
The first step is to reach out and make sure we will be a good fit for each other! I want to make sure that this will be an awesome experience, so that means making sure you have your questions answered and you are excited to work together. Once you’re officially booked, you’ll choose your session date and we’ll get to planning! You can find the contact form on my website here.

Prep for Your Shoot
When you choose your session date, you will fill out a questionnaire that lets me learn all about you and what you want your session to look like! I will send over location suggestions and we can talk all about your outfits, hair/makeup, and anything else you want to include in your photos. I'm here to help, so no question is off limits!
I'll send you "all-the-things" for your big day - location ideas, outfit inspo, you name it!
the Big Day
Now it's time for what you've been waiting for...your session day! We will meet up at your location, make final outfit and accessory decisions (if needed), and begin capturing your laughs, beauty, and personality! Don't worry if you've never modeled before... I will teach you everything I know to make you look and feel natural in front of the camera!
the day has arrived and it's time to get those amazing photos you've been dreaming of!
Gallery Delivery
This is one of my favorite parts of the process! I will select the best photos from your session, edit them, and deliver them to you in a beautiful, easy-to-use online gallery. From there you can download, share, and order prints. Simple as that! You'll have access to share with everyone you love and save your gallery images to enjoy for years to come!
I know you are dying to see those photos and it'll be worth the wait!
Print Ordering
Included with your personalized online gallery is the print store. This is an interactive shopping experience that offers convenience, as well as quality products. You'll have the option to order alllll kinds of amazing products - prints, albums, holiday cards, digital options, and more!
Want to get your favorites printed to display in your home? I got you, mama!

While turnaround times can vary by season, we aim to deliver all images within three weeks of your session.
While we don’t guarantee an exact number of images, we will make sure we capture your family thoroughly. Most families should expect to receive at least 25 edited images following their session.
You are absolutely welcome to share images on social media. To ensure that our work is properly represented, we ask that you refrain from any edits. We also appreciate image credits and tags as they help us to continue to grow as a business.
By default, the creators of images always own the rights to the images. However we’ll give you a release to use, print and share your images. The only thing you won’t be able to do is sell your image as a stock photo. We won’t do this either without your written permission.
It depends. We typically plan about 90 minutes for most sessions. While we likely don’t need to be shooting this entire time, this does give us the flexibility for location changes, rowdy kids and time to warm up.
