The season of life you are currently in should be remembered forever. It goes by so quickly as most you mommas out there can attest to, and as the years go by, our memories fade and we forget what our littles looked like as babies or toddlers. Our little ones grow up so quickly and they change daily!
I have a passion to capture those little moments and the big moments in your life so you can remember them for years to come and so future generations of your family can look back on them. Just think of me as a good friend coming along to capture those sweet kisses from your little girl and the excitement in your son's face as he brings you a rock or a bug he's found. Those are the moments to cherish forever.
Whether it's your first baby, or your fifth, documenting this season of life is priceless. Growing a human being is exhausting and hard at times, but there's nothing quite like it and it's so worth it.
My goal for your maternity session is to make sure that you feel absolutely beautiful while capturing your precious baby bump. I want you to also remember how you felt during this time as you await the arrival of your little one. My hope is that you look on back on your photos one day and you remember those little kicks, and the joy and anticipation you felt.
I offer lifestyle newborn sessions. What this means is that the session will be done in your home which will allow me to capture this precious time where you and your new little one are most comfortable and in your own environment.
I will spend up to 3 hours in your home during your newborn session as I work completely around your baby's needs. This gives us plenty of time to account for feedings, fussiness and the time it takes for outfit changes.
This is such a sweet time in your life and I want to make sure I capture as much as I possibly can so you have these memories for a lifetime!
step one
This first step is probably the most important - communication & connection! It's important to make sure that we are a good fit to work together, talk about your vision for your portrait session, and more!
step two
Once your portrait session is booked & confirmed, you will receive a link to the Portrait Lounge. The lounge is a client exclusive full of outfit inspiration and guidance, session tips, and more!
step three
The day of your session will be all about you and whoever else will be part of the session! Since we have made sure to do plenty of preparation beforehand, your photo session should be fun, enjoyable and stress free!
step four
As soon as I have finished collecting and editing your high resolution images (about 2-3 weeks), I will put the photos in a gallery and upload them to your own client portal. From here, you will be able to view your images, choose your favorites, and download your images.
To proceed forward with booking me as your photographer, the first thing to do is to fill out the contact form to make sure I have your date available. After that, once we've chatted and if I am available, all you have to do is sign the contract, pay the retainer fee, and you're booked!
I always recommend arriving to your session a few minutes early, at least 10 minutes. This is to account for any walking and getting things together, especially if using props or you need things for the kids. You may want to consider planning to leave early enough to arrive a little early and to plan for traffic, etc. I want to make certain that you get all the time you can at your session.
In the event of inclement weather, I will contact you to reschedule your session for a different date. If you do not wish to reschedule, you will be refunded any monies you have paid with the exception of the retainer fee, or you may use that money to put towards a future session.
If you cancel or reschedule your session for any reason, the retainer fee is non-refundable and only transferable at my discretion. If you or one of your family members falls ill before a session, please call to reschedule as soon as possible. For more info on the cancellation policy, please see the portrait contract.
I do not provide any unedited images. Let me explain - as your photographer, I am dedicated to providing you with the absolute best images. I take hundreds of photos at your session to make sure that I don't miss anything and carefully curate the absolutely best ones for you, leaving out all the duplicates, and blurry and unflattering photos. Giving Raw unedited photos is also not a reflection of my style that you see on my website and social media which is, I assume, one of the reasons you would hire me. My job as your photographer is to give you the final, finished product.
Absolutely! I love to travel and am willing to travel for your session. Up to 45 miles one way is included for your session.
Any additional travel fees and expenses (mileage, gas, etc.) will be invoiced separately.
