_______________________________________________________________
I value providing an excellent client experience and clear communication. I aim to cater to a range of preferences, needs, and budgets. The best way to do this is to separate the session experience from the end product, allowing for 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. You are welcome to prepay for your images by adding it 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 determine which session length is best suited to 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.
The Details
This is to help you understand 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.
Families should be celebrated, not exploited as a money-making opportunity. We will discuss what you want to accomplish, and I will advise you on 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
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!
Portrait 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.
Mini Sessions
Prices are specific to each experience and will include images.
Current offerings are listed on the Homepage.
These sessions are only available on specific dates, times, and locations as specified. This can be a more economical option, but you miss out on the highly customized, hands-on experience, which is my preferred way to serve you, the best way possible. You still have access to the same great products.
Event or Branding Hourly Fee
Starting at $600
$300 each additional hour
The above pricing is provided for your reference. This will include in-depth, personalized planning and images that capture your event or business. You will know how many images to expect during the planning session. As with everything I do, I will tailor a package to meet your specific goals. This does not include additional services that can enhance your experience and results, such as hair and makeup services, wardrobe consultations, or assistants. These services are invaluable for working efficiently, and by working with other professionals, it will help to ensure you will achieve the look you want. During your planning session, we will discuss your needs, and then I will make recommendations as your professional photographer. As always, there is never any pressure.
My only motivation is to serve you well!
Step 2 - Choose Session Options
Most clients do not need session add-ons,
but they are available to you!
This is for an elevated experience tailored to your needs. We will talk and make the right arrangements that YOU want. To understand why I have structured my pricing this way, please refer to my Frequently Asked Questions.

*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
Let's work together to bring your vision to life in a way that is intentional from the beginning,
so you can walk away with priceless memories in a beautiful, tangible way. Your way!
Minimum Investment is $45
Most Clients Start Around $350
(ex. 10x10 Heirloom Album + Digitals)
There is no point in having a session if the images are going to be lost or forgotten on a hard drive somewhere. Life is so busy! I will take care of you every step of the way to ensure these precious memories are treasured as you want them to be remembered. Together, we will review the images and confirm the final look and items that YOU desire.
I do not appreciate surprises,
and I will never do that to my precious clients.
You will end the consultation call
with a plan and a clear idea of what it will cost.
I want what you want, and nothing more.
This is what fills me with joy!!!
Products I Offer:
Wall Art
Table Displays
Albums
Prints
Cards

New, Exciting Specialized Product!
Coming August 2025
Complete estimates given in the beginning! During the original consultation, you will have a clear idea of what you want to walk away with and what it will cost, before we even schedule your session. If your project is more elaborate, you will definitely know what to expect during a more in-depth planning session. I cannot provide an accurate estimate without working with you to understand your desires and goals. I am here to serve and work with you to achieve them. I will never pressure you, I don't work that way.
Installation included! The last thing I want to do is add to your to-do list. I want you to be able to enjoy your memories. I don't want wall art to sit in boxes for months (or years!), or for you to have to address your Christmas card envelopes by hand. It would be a true pleasure to take care of this for you!
Preserving your memories! The beautiful thing is I truly treasure these moments, almost as much as you do! I am very thorough and methodical in my backup system to make sure your memories are preserved. As with all technology, nothing is guaranteed, but I have a three-step process to do my best. You have the freedom to revisit these moments at any time and remember them in tangible ways. Not everything needs to be done at once, and I will always offer payment plans to my clients. As long as the plan is in place when we take the pictures, it is possible to order products later. I have had clients return six months to a year later because they had more memories they wanted to purchase in addition to the ones they bought at the time of their session.
The most crucial part is that these moments are captured
because we cannot go back in time.
Personal Note:
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!
