you’ve got questions?

I’ve got answers…

  • I love photographing your family in places that are special and relaxed for you. So for many that means home but it may be a nature walk, a favorite lake, or a place that your family loves to return to and wants to celebrate!

  • Most importantly—express yourself! Bold colors, fun patterns, homemade scarves, or your child’s favorite rain boots are all welcome. Let your family’s unique style shine!

    Dress for the setting! Whether you’re planning an adventurous summer session outdoors or a cozy winter shoot in a family cabin, comfort is key.

    Earthy, pastel, or jewel tones (with minimal patterns) photograph beautifully, while layering is perfect for outdoor sessions.

    The only thing I recommend avoiding is clothing with large logos or distracting text.

  • Most families invest between $1,100 and $1,800 in their session. The session fee is $400. After your session, you’ll have the opportunity to choose from three Collections. Each Collection is a set number of digital images and a print credit to use toward artwork and prints.

  • Your print credit is a valuable part of your package and is designed to help you turn your beautiful images into lasting keepsakes.

    While it can’t be exchanged for a discount or cash value, you’re under no obligation to use it, but I highly encourage you to! 

    Whether you choose prints, albums, or wall art, all options are a wonderful way to preserve and enjoy your memories for years to come. 

  • My priority is for everyone to feel safe and respected throughout our time together. If you're feeling the least bit of hesitation, let's reschedule! Your session fee can be transferred to a later date without penalty. I would much rather you cancel a session last minute than risk spreading germs or anyone not feeling their best!
