This isn’t just a photo session. It’s an experience, a connection, and a memory-maker all rolled into one. From first inquiry to final gallery, I’m your go-to hype girl and creative partner — here to take the pressure off and make sure your photos feel like you.
01. Inquiry & Booking
You fill out my inquiry form or reach out to me with your session request. I’ll respond quickly (because I’m that friend) with availability and session info.
Once you’re ready to move forward, you’ll receive a booking link to reserve your session date. A signed contract + retainer officially gets you on my calendar — woo!
The Process
Here’s what you can expect, step by step.
02. Pre-Session Prep
You’ll receive a prep guide to help you feel totally ready for your session — including what to wear, what to bring, and how to prepare your family (yes, I include tips for kids, dads, and moms alike).
Have questions? I’m always here — I want you to feel excited and stress-free going in!
03. The Session
It’s go time! Whether we’re in my studio, your home, or outdoors, your only job is to show up, be present, and enjoy the moment.
I’ll guide you naturally so you’re never left wondering what to do. Expect lots of snuggles, laughs, silly moments, and space for your family’s real personality to shine through.
Pro tip: You do NOT need "perfectly behaved" kids — trust me, I know how to handle it and capture magic through the chaos.
04. Post-Session Editing
After your session, I carefully cull and edit your images — choosing the best shots and editing them to match my signature style: warm, timeless, and true to life.
This part takes care and intention — I want your gallery to feel cohesive and beautiful!
05. Gallery Delivery
Within 2–3 weeks, you’ll receive your full online gallery — with ALL images included, no choosing favorites required! You’ll be able to download, share, and print your photos as you wish.
Bonus: you’ll also receive a black & white version of each image, so you get even more variety.
06. After the Gallery
Your online gallery will be live for 3 months — plenty of time to download your images and choose how you’d like to display them.
I offer a selection of professional prints, canvas wall art, and heirloom albums to help you turn your favorite moments into beautiful keepsakes. You’ll see all the options when your gallery is delivered!
What if my kids don’t cooperate?
No worries — I’ve got this! I’m great with kids (it’s kind of my superpower), and I keep sessions fun, relaxed, and low-pressure. We’ll let them be themselves and capture the magic in between. Some of the best photos come from the chaos!
Everything you’ve been wondering — answered.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to bribe my toddler?
If it helps — go for it. But no bribes required! I’m great with kids and I keep sessions fun and low-pressure. We’ll roll with whatever mood they’re in and capture the magic in between the wiggles. (I don't judge... but I 100% bribe my toddler... lol).
What if my house is a mess for an in-home session?
No worries — I’m there to photograph your family, not your laundry pile. We’ll clear a small area with good light and focus on the connection, not the clutter. Real life is beautiful. PS, you should see my house...
We’re awkward in front of the camera. Help?!
Everyone says this — and everyone ends up having fun. I’ll guide you naturally and keep things moving so it never feels stiff or forced. Expect lots of snuggles, laughs, and moments that feel like you.
Can the dog come too?
YES, please. I love when furry family members join in — just give me a heads-up so we can plan accordingly.
What if my kid melts down mid-session?
It happens! We’ll take a breath, give them a break, and roll with it. Some of my favorite images have come from the in-between moments when everyone relaxes and just embraces the chaos.
what should we wear?
After booking, you’ll receive a full prep guide with tips on what to wear (and what to avoid!). I’ll also happily help you choose outfits if you’re stuck — just send me some options.
Where will my session take place?
That depends on your session type! I shoot in my studio, in clients' homes, or at one of my favorite outdoor locations. We’ll chat about what fits your vision best.
Do you offer prints and albums?
Yes! I offer professional prints, canvas wall art, and albums so you can bring your images to life off the screen. You’ll see all the options when your gallery is delivered.
how do i book with you?
Easy! Just head over to my Booking Form page, fill out the inquiry form, and I’ll be in touch with all the next steps. I can’t wait to work with you!
Whether it’s a big milestone, a new baby, or just freezing the beautiful chaos of everyday life — I’m here to capture it all. Now that you know exactly how it works, there’s just one thing left to do...
