MY APPROACH
TIMELESS / NATURAL / AUTHENTIC
1. I'm a mother, I understand the chaos, meltdowns & the no's.
It is natural to worry whether your toddlers will cooperate during your photo session and whether it would be worth it to invest in one. Trust me, you are not alone. As a mom of two boys, I absolutely understand! It is perfectly normal for your toddler to not want to sit still for a photo session. Whether your toddler wanders off to collect rocks or is attached to your hip, wonderful! I follow your toddler's lead and work with their energy that day to capture their big personalities during the short season they are in! I incorporate play in my family sessions so I can photograph your children in their full element. All I need you to do is relax, have fun and enjoy the moment!

2. My priority is to help make you feel comfortable and beautiful
When investing in a photography session, I understand it can feel stressful and overwhelming preparing for what to wear, having feelings of insecurities and being vulnerable in front of a camera. My priority is to help make you feel comfortable and beautiful. I will guide you with any questions you may have, including clothing choices if you wish. When you show up to your session, all you have to do is focus on each other and enjoy the moment. I will capture all the real life moments and joy that already exists within you.

3. My aim is to capture connection over perfection
When you book a session with me, I will be seeking the simple beauty and magic that already exists within you and your family - showing your family as you are! I do a mix of traditional posing and natural, candid moments so your photos are full of love, laughter, connection and genuine emotion. I believe that the chaos, the imperfections and quirks are to be celebrated and I strive to capture those in between moments. I believe your photography session should feel fun, relaxed and joyful!
FAQ
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What if it rains?
I am always looking at the weather prior to your session to check for rain or any other inclement weather. Rain happens and I usually call off a session the day before. We can then work together to find a reschedule date.
What do I wear?
This is one of my most asked questions! I will send you a session planning guide with some helpful tips. I also provide a styling catalog as well as assistance in wardrobe planning so I'm just a text or email away to chat. I love fashion so I am always ready to help and provide inspiration if needed! My priority is to make sure you feel comfortable and beautiful on the day of your photoshoot!
When should I schedule my session?
As soon as you're ready! I take on a limited number of sessions each month so I can give my best to each of my clients. For maternity and newborn sessions, contact me when you learn you are expecting and we can secure a date and time in my calendar. I usually recommend scheduling your maternity session when you are between 28-34 weeks and schedule your newborn session roughly 2-3 weeks from your due date.
Can I book weekend dates?
Yes, I offer both weekday and weekend availability. Weekends usually book fast so if there was a weekend you have been thinking of, reach out to me to reserve your spot!
How long does it take to receive the final edited photos?
I understand how exciting it is to wait and see your final photos! Your photos will be delivered to you within 3 weeks of your session date. Believe it or not, the editing process is what takes the most time out of your photography experience. I don't do rush edits because each photo is a piece of art that takes time and craftsmanship is important to me. I am meticulous and hand edit each photo to ensure you receive a beautiful cohesive gallery worth your investment, ready to be printed and hung up on your walls to cherish for years to come.
Can I book you for multiple sessions?
Yes! I absolutely love getting to work with clients over and over again. I created three milestone packages for families that desire an all-inclusive, flexible and affordable way to capture the unforgettable milestones of your baby's first year. Choose from 'Bump to Baby,' 'Watch Me Grow,' and 'The First Year.' Contact me for more details on booking these packages!
