Family Portrait Sessions
Family portraits are one of the most important investments you can make in your lifetime. Life passes in the literal blink of an eye, and one day you’ll be in the war zone of toddlerhood and then you’re going to blink and your last child will be going off to college; you’ll blink again and you’ll be playing with your grandchildren. When I was a child I loved going to my grandparents’ home and looking through their old family albums. Family pictures are the only way we can look back to all the stages of life we grew through as a family. The beautiful chaos of your family growing and changing through the years deserves to be documented. Don’t wait until it feels like it will get easier; get the family portraits done in every messy, imperfect and beautiful stage of life your family is going through. You will never regret investing in forever capturing your toddler with the big red scrape on their forehead; your child missing all their front teeth; your teenager who doesn’t remember how to smile anymore. Those are the memories you will crave one day and be so glad you had captured forever through a portrait session.

Newborn Lifestyle Portrait Sessions
Newborn sessions happen at your home and are designed to
capture you and your new family lifestyle at home in the early newborn
days. These sessions are relaxed, designed to give us plenty of
time to capture all the sweet and intimate moments between you and
your new addition. These sessions will not have a time limit, because lets
face it, newborns have their own unique schedule and you’re still
adjusting to the needs of your new family dynamic. During the session
I will focus on capturing family portraits, mom and baby portraits, dad
and baby portraits, baby and sibling portraits (if there are siblings) and
then just capture life at home with the new baby. These sessions do not
include posing, wrapping, or prop use.
Booking a newborn session: You can book as early as you would
like; I suggest booking within 8—12 weeks out from your due date. Once
you have had your baby, you will contact me within 24 hours. At that
point we will figure out an actual session date. The best newborn sessions
happen within the first three weeks of life.
Mini sessions
Mini sessions are designed with busy families in mind. Ranging from 10-20 minutes long, these sessions are perfect for families who are busy and need a quick photo session option that will still give them beautiful, candid and simple family photos. Each mini session centers around the magic of what each season has to offer (except for Christmas mini sessions which tend to happen before the holiday season begins). Mini sessions are short, but they’re fun and candid, which means you’ll get lots of genuine smiles and moments captured.
Investment: sessions start at $125
Birthday Portrait Sessions Birthday Portrait Sessions are a chance to let your child shine on their
special day. Your kids get one day a year that’s all theirs, where the
attention is all on them. What better way to celebrate your kids’ special
day than by getting special birthday portraits of them! You can dress them
up or dress them in their current favorite outfit (even if its a princess or
superhero outfit). We can capture them sitting still and posing or running
around playing and being crazy. However you and your kid wants the
portrait session to look and feel is how we will capture them. And then,
when they’re all grown up and you can’t coerce them into birthday
portraits anymore, you will have classic, timeless, and candid birthday
portraits of your children growing up to look back on and remember at
each age. Cake smashes for a first birthday also fall under this category.
Investment: starts at $250
Branding/Business session
These sessions are made to be about creating content for YOU and YOUR BRAND. Need new headshots? Need content for your website/blog? Need promotional pictures? Anything that falls under business, we can photograph. But it doesn’t have to be boring, in front of a plain background with you in your business clothes (unless that is truly what you want, then absolutely, lets do that!); we can be inside, outside, dressed up, dressed down….you get the picture. You’re going to tailor the business session to however you want it to look/feel. I’m just there to capture your vision for you; to showcase who you are and what your business is all about. We’ll work together to formulate a game plan on what photos you need/want and go from there.
Investment for a single person: Choose from a 30 minute session for $200 or an hour long session for $300; Investment for 2 or more people: Choose from a 30 minute session for $250 or an hour long session for $350.
Micro weddings/Elopements Micro weddings are becoming more and more popular and I think one of the biggest reasons (besides lower cost) is the intimacy it
brings the bride and groom. A smaller wedding means more time
spent with your guests and more intimate moments between them
and their loved ones. Micro weddings are more laid back, with no
strict time schedules to follow. A micro wedding or elopement also
allows you, as the bride and groom, to opt for more candid photos
of your day from your photographer; less posing and more intimate
and candid moments caught during your special day.
Booking a micro wedding/elopement:
1. We’ll discuss what size wedding you’re planning to have or if it will
be an elopement
2. We’ll chat about dates, location, etc.
3. I’ll have you share with me your vision for your special day and
what my role in your special day looks like to you.
4. When all is said and done, you’ll have a beautiful gallery filled with
intimate and candid moments, along with all the small detail
shots from the day you’ll still want to remember when you’re
old and gray.
