The Process

Step 1: Set a Date for Your Session

Booking your session is easy! Simply call, email, or text me, and we’ll get you scheduled. To secure your spot, a non-refundable retainer of $300 is due at the time of booking, which will be applied towards your final purchase.

Location Options:
Outdoor Session: Available early morning (Monday-Saturday) or later evening (Monday-Thursday).
In-Studio Session: Best times are late morning to mid-day (depending on the season: winter 10-2, summer 9-4).

Available Session Days & Times:
Monday – Thursday: 9am – 7pm (see above for location-specific times)
Friday: 9am – 2pm
Saturday: 9am – 12pm

Step 2: Enjoy Your Session!

During your session, all you have to do is relax and enjoy the experience. I’ve got plenty of tricks up my sleeve to keep things moving smoothly, so no worries — I’ve got this! Every session requires some effort, but rest assured, we’ll create amazing images that you’ll love.

Step 3: Finalize Your Collection

After your session, we’ll move on to selecting your final images. I love to involve families in the process of narrowing down their favorites, since you know those faces best! If it becomes too overwhelming, I’m happy to take the reins and do it for you. Once you’ve selected your favorites, we’ll create your custom collection.

Then, I’ll get to work on editing and polishing your portraits, preparing them for professional printing. The editing and printing process typically takes 1-4 weeks, depending on the season. To ensure a fast turnaround time, I limit the number of sessions I take each month, though priority is given based on the date of payment.

It’s an easy and fun process, and most clients tell me they truly enjoy it.

Thank you so much for considering my photography studio. I am incredibly grateful for the opportunity to serve our community and share my passion with families like yours.
