If life has taught me anything, it's to take the dang picture. Life is too short to not. There is a session for everyone, whether it's a first birthday, a high school graduation or a session with your besties. The memories deserve to be captured and remembered.
for all stages of life
Providing you memories
How this all goes down
We will chat through any ideas you have for your session, such as locations, type of look/aesthetic you're going for, and of course will pick a date and time.
Once we've determined those details, I will send over an agreement and a questionnaire to learn more around your wants for a session to make sure I'm fully prepared.
Within a week of your session, I will connect with you to confirm the session and a meeting spot along with sending over ways to prepare for your session!
We'll chat through the nitty gritty and I'll help you prepare
Step one: We plan it.
This is the fun part! We will chat through any last minute ideas or questions before starting, but we will jump right in! I will make sure you are comfortable and having a good time. There's always a method to my madness!
Yep, taking photos should be FUN!
Step two: We shoot & have fun!
This is where I get to have MY fun! All of your photos will be edited to my style, which is a true to color type of look that never goes out of style.
I typically deliver all photos back to you within 2-3 days via email unless I give you a different timeframe during our session. I know how anxious we all get waiting for photos to come back, because duh, so do I! I aim to move quickly!
You'll get your photos back in a blink of an eye!

to make your session even better than it already will be
I'm a mom to two sweet little monsters aged 6 and 3. Being a mom, I know how important it is to have photos to savor forever. I also know the chaos that family photos can bring. The baby spit up, the kids won't listen, the kids are running around like their pants are on fine, your husband doesn't want to play along. Been there, done that! My goal is to make your session sincerely fun, avoiding any kind of complaints from your husband or your kids who are too cool for family pictures. My approach is friendly with a slight hint of sarcasm. But in all seriousness, I will pull out all of the stops to make sure you have great photos. Yes, I will tell your toddler that Bluey just ran by. Anything for the picture, right?
