Providing an excellent client experience is very important to me, and so is clear communication. My heart is to be able to accommodate various preferences, needs, and budgets. The best way to do this is to separate the session experience from the Image Collections so that you can have more flexibility!
Always remember, you do not have to make decisions alone!
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 to be hands-off, that is fine too! You pick your level of involvement. I have full confidence to step in and be your "creative director" to achieve beautiful results whenever you want me to. All you have to do is tell me your primary goals for your images and the session, whatever opinions you have, 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!
I offer three (3) consultations that are free! They include session planning, outfit consultation, and image selection. During the session planning, 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 recommendations. If you find it difficult to pick your final images, I can help you there too! Find out more information on the Your Experience page.
You can prepay for your Image Collection or select it after your session. It is all up to you!
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 micro or mini sessions...
but I do offer more options for those who would like to extend the 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!

Session Consultations will happen before you book. To give you the experience and results you want, I need to know what you are looking for. Even if you are unsure yourself, this will have a significant impact!
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 - Discuss How You Want To Use These Precious Memories
Wall Art
Table Displays
Albums
Prints
Cards
Customized Items
Digitals
(Any products purchased will include a digital version)
It is essential to discuss this briefly. Knowing how you want to use the images will help with where and how we set up your portraits during the session.
Step 4 - Enjoy Your Session
With patience and care, my heart is for you and your family to enjoy our time together. I want it to be as effortless as possible and for us all to have fun capturing beautiful memories to treasure for years.
Step 5 - Turn Your Memories into Heirlooms
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!
