THE PORTRAIT EXPERIENCE

HEARTFELT CONNECTIONS + PLAYFUL INTERACTIONS

Family and Newborn photography is not about the perfect Christmas card photo..

It's about embracing the stage of life you are in right now with your favorite people..

The messy and sometimes chaotic but silly and loving moments of your life.

I know that's what matters to you.. and it's what matters to me, too!

When we work together we'll create meaningful, beautiful and timeless portraits.

Photos you will cherish for a lifetime.

WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT

The goal for capturing your family is to slow down time so you can really soak in this beautiful life of yours. You can expect your session to be fun, memorable, relaxed, filled with games, tons of snuggles, lots of kisses and those big belly laughs we all need and love. With the combination of natural guidance, interaction and movement everyone feels at ease in front of my camera.. even reluctant dad's or grumpy tweens and teens!

I know raising children means life gets pretty hectic. You're running around all day.. making sure your kiddos are eating enough fruits & veggies, getting them to practices on time, folding laundry, juggling work and trying to find a little bit of time for peace and quiet. But, even through all of the crazy moments, you want to remember how your family is now in this stage of life.. because your babies won't be babies forever. Trust me to take the stress out of capturing timeless & meaningful family photos.

The session experience investment comes in two parts..

the session fee + digital file collection.

F.A.Q.

I'm worried my kids won't behave, what do you suggest?: First of all, the kids rule the session! I spend the first few minutes interacting with your child without my camera in their face to not only gain their trust but understand what games and silliness will suit their personality best. Please, do not stress! Simply love your child as you would if I weren’t there capturing the moments. Also, I have eight little ones in my family, two nephews and six little cousins.. I understand how "spirited" little ones can be!

Don’t stress, and trust me and my experience. I promise I can capture your family’s moments and deliver a beautiful gallery!
What's the best time of day for our session?: My outdoor sessions all take place shoot 1.5 hours before the sun sets. We'll shoot until the sun is gone or until your toddler/teen/spouse is done with me. Most of the time the sun is gone first ;) This warm, golden hour light creates the most beautiful backdrop. While I realize this timing certain times of the year may not be ideal for really little ones, I know plenty of locations that provide some flexibility to this and allow us to use open shaded areas. I also offer sunrise session if that is a better choice for your family’s schedule!

For in-home lifestyle family and newborn sessions, the best time to schedule is in the early morning. That's when most homes have the best and most beautiful light.
When should I book my Newborn Session?: I typically schedule Newborn Sessions the first 6-14 days after they're born. However, sometimes you're just not feeling up to it and have scheduled a month after birth!
What should we wear?: Don't worry, I've got you! After getting on my calendar, I will send you a questionnaire and after receiving your answers, I personally sit down and style your family from the bow on your heads to the shoes on your feet… the best part is it’s all virtual and I even send you the links to purchase the clothes if you want! You may even have something similar in your closet already! So, don’t worry I am here to ensure that your family is styled to perfection on any budget and so your images truly represent who you are and what you are comfortable wearing.
When will I receive my photos?: Normal turnaround time for a proof gallery is 14 business days. If you need to have your images back by a certain date (birthday party or senior year book) I suggest booking your session four weeks prior to the deadline. I am working on multiple sessions at once and do my best to deliver each gallery as quickly as possible.
Are the digital files included in the session fee?: Digital Files are not included in the session fee. Digital File Collections are a separate investment and guess what!? My Collections include ALL of the best and final high resolution files from your session! You don't have to narrow down your gallery.. trust me, I know stressful that is!
