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 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.
Investment: $350
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 2-10 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.
