Pricing
I value providing an excellent client experience and clear communication. I want to accommodate various preferences, needs, and budgets. The best way to do this is to separate the session experience from the end product so that you have more flexibility!
Always remember, you do not have to make decisions alone!
Together, we will create the right experience for you.
That is why you hire a professional! I am here to offer advice whenever you need it. I am here to help achieve your vision. If you want this experience to be hands-off, that is fine too! You pick your level of involvement. I have complete confidence to step in and be your "creative director" to deliver the results you want. All you have to do is tell me your primary goals for your images and the session, whatever opinions you want, and I will create a custom experience you will be excited to participate in.
My ultimate goal is for you to walk away with beautiful images
to remember this season and enjoy doing it!
INCLUDED: I offer three (3) free appointments above our initial consultation, including Session Planning, Outfit Consultation, and Image Selection. I am happy to offer payment plans for your session fee or end products to help you capture these priceless moments in a budget-friendly way. Images are NOT included in the session fee, but I understand this is not for everyone. I am happy to offer adding an image collection to your session fee.
Remember, I offer a customized experience, so I don't offer one-size-fits-all packages.
Everyone has different needs, but you can tell me what you want
and I will create a package just for you!
During the session planning appointment, we will discuss many things, and I can help you decide which session length is best for your goals. I am happy to discuss outfits, accessories, and offer recommendations. If you find it difficult to pick your final images, I can help you there, too! Find out more information about Your Experience.
Overview
This is to help you see the big picture of the session decision-making process. We will discuss all of this together. I will listen to your desires and goals to help create a customized experience with the tangible memories you will want to treasure for years to come.
Most of my sessions are customized between 15-30 minute sessions...
but I offer more options for those who want to extend that time. You will be surprised by how much variety I can capture in a short amount of time, though!
I do not charge per person or penalize large families
or extended families by charging more.
Family should be celebrated, not a money-making opportunity. We will discuss what you want to accomplish, and I will advise you how much time I need to complete it! During the planning consultation, we will discuss all of this and more to decide what is best for you! I am always available if you have any questions!
Step 1 - Choose a Session Fee Together!
I am a good listener! I want to know what you are looking for and your goals for these precious memories. We will talk about all the things and make a plan together!
Session Fees
Starting at $150
Most Clients spend between $200 and $275
This is just a session fee and does not include images.
You can prepay for images up front and make additional purchases later.

Based on your goals, we will set the number of images you will receive before we even have your session. This does not include additional services that will give you the best experience and results. During your planning session, we will discuss your needs and then I will make recommendations as your professional photographer. There is never any pressure.
My only motivation is to serve you well!
Step 2 - Choose Session Options Together!

Planning Consultations will happen before you book if more details are needed beyond what was discussed during the initial consultation. I need to know what you are looking for to give you the experience and results you want. Even if you are unsure yourself, this will have a significant impact! It is essential to discuss how you want to use your images, too. It will help with where and how we set up your portraits during the session.
I recommend Outfit Consultations at least 24 hours before your session, up to a week before, unless you plan to purchase or rent outfits. I can make recommendations about fit, colors, theme, and more. We will talk generalities about outfit color schemes during your original consultation, but the final touches and specific recommendations will happen here.
Step 3 - Turning Your Memories into Heirlooms
There is no point in having a session if they are just going to be lost or forgotten on a hard drive somewhere. Life is so busy! Let's get you taken care of while it is still fresh. Together, we will look at the images and confirm the final look you want for your memories.
I want what you want and nothing more. This is what fills me with joy!!!

If you let me know what you want, I can help customize an experience that is right for you. I want you to feel free to choose and give me input throughout your experience, but I am happy to help make selections at any point if you want me to. I aim to get to know you, your preferences, and your desires for these memories before your session starts so you can be more relaxed and at ease. I want you to feel confident that I deeply care about you and have everything handled. That is why you hire a professional!
