Every session begins with a quick intro chat! This gives us a chance to get to know each other, talk through your vision, and make sure my photography style is the perfect fit for what you're imagining.

We'll discuss session options, pricing, and all the little details to ensure we're creating an experience that feels uniquely you.

Ready to get started? Simply schedule your intro chat, and we'll take it from there!

Life happens, and I completely understand that plans sometimes change! I simply ask for at least 24 hours' notice if you need to cancel or reschedule your session.

Cancellations made with less than 24 hours' notice or missed appointments may be subject to a cancellation fee or require prepayment for future bookings.

A little communication goes a long way, and I appreciate your understanding!

ABSOLUTELY! As a fur mama myself, I know our four-legged family members are just as much a part of our story as anyone else. I love when clients include their fur babies in their sessions!

Just give me a heads-up before your session so we can plan accordingly. If your furry friend has a little extra energy (we love a wild one!), we may want to consider an outdoor session where they have more room to be themselves.

Because your family photos wouldn't be complete without the whole family!

Yes! Every image receives light, natural editing to enhance its beauty while keeping the focus on the genuine, authentic moments that make your story yours.

If you're looking for more extensive edits or specific corrections, additional fees may apply depending on the request.

One thing I'm especially passionate about is celebrating you exactly as you are. My photography style is natural and true to life, which means I don't use Photoshop to dramatically alter body shapes, slim waists or thighs, or remove double chins.

As a mama myself, I want every woman who steps in front of my camera to feel beautiful, confident, and comfortable in her own skin. Your body tells a story, and I believe that story deserves to be celebrated, not changed.

My goal isn't to make you look like someone else. It's to capture the beautiful, real YOU.

Because each photography experience involves dedicated planning, preparation, and creative work, all session fees are non-refundable.

Your creative fee (booking fee) reserves your session date and covers the time and preparation that go into bringing your vision to life. If you need to reschedule, this fee may be transferred to a new date as long as proper notice is provided.

Prints, albums, and other products are also non-refundable, as they are custom-made just for you! However, if something arrives damaged or isn't quite right, please reach out so I can help make it right.

Please keep in mind that I can only assist with products purchased directly through me and my approved professional labs. If you choose to order prints or products elsewhere, you assume responsibility for their quality and any issues that may arise.

I want you to absolutely love the memories we create together, and I'm always happy to help with any questions or concerns along the way!

The sooner, the better! Family and littles sessions tend to fill up quickly, especially during the fall and on weekends. If you have a particular season or look in mind, I always recommend booking early to secure your spot.

While I love those beautiful fall colors as much as you do, Mother Nature doesn't always cooperate! I can't guarantee peak foliage, perfect weather, or specific colors. If you're hoping to wait for the leaves to be just right, we can certainly discuss rescheduling, but it will depend on my availability.

And while everyone loves a dreamy sunset session, don't overlook sunrise! That early morning golden glow can be just as magical.

Outdoor sessions are offered from mid-May through mid-October, weather permitting. If temperatures drop below freezing, we'll move your session indoors to the studio instead.

My goal is always to create beautiful memories while keeping everyone comfortable, safe, and happy along the way!

Life happens, and I totally get it! As a mama myself, I know that getting everyone dressed, ready, and out the door on time doesn't always go according to plan.

If you're running behind, just let me know as soon as possible so we can plan accordingly.

If you're more than 20 minutes late, we may need to reschedule your session. Outdoor sessions are carefully timed around the best natural light, and arriving late can mean missing that beautiful golden glow we're hoping to capture.

A little communication goes a long way, and I appreciate you helping us make the most of our time together!

Digital images are not included in your session fee, but they are available for purchase!

All purchased digital images are delivered as downloadable files. I highly recommend saving them to your computer and backing them up to cloud storage so your memories are safely preserved for years to come.

Here's a little bonus! When you purchase a print or product featuring a specific image (excluding albums), you'll also receive a complimentary web-sized digital version of that image, perfect for sharing online.

Purchased digital images also come with a print release, allowing you to print your photographs for personal use. However, I retain the copyright and ownership of all images.

If you're planning to use your photographs for commercial purposes, such as modeling portfolios, contests, publications, or resale, additional licensing is required.

My goal is to help you enjoy your memories however you love best, whether that's beautifully displayed on your walls, tucked into an album, or shared with family and friends!

I accept cash, credit and debit cards, and select mobile payment options.

I also understand that professional photography is an investment, and I never want budget to be the reason you miss out on capturing these special moments.

That's why I'm happy to discuss payment plan options and work with you to find something that fits your budget. I can accommodate most budgets, and we'll talk through the possibilities during our consultation.

At the end of the day, these memories are priceless, and it's important to me that you have the opportunity to preserve them in a way that works for you and your family.

As the photographer, I retain the copyright and ownership of the images I capture. However, I completely understand and respect that some families prefer to keep their photographs, especially those of their children, private.

If you would rather your children's images not be shared on social media, featured in my portfolio, displayed as studio samples, or used in marketing materials, I absolutely respect that decision!

I simply ask that you submit your request in writing so it can be documented in your client portal.

Your family's comfort and privacy matter to me, and I want you to feel confident knowing your wishes will be respected.

Professional hair and makeup services are included exclusively with my VIP Membership!

For all other sessions, these services are not included, but I've partnered with some amazing local hair and makeup artists who can help you look and feel your best.

You're more than welcome to book with one of these talented professionals before your session, and I'm happy to share recommendations!

Because sometimes a little extra pampering is just what a mama needs!

Timing is everything when it comes to beautiful photographs! I carefully schedule each session around the best natural light, whether we're in the studio or outdoors. But just as important? Making sure everyone is comfortable, happy, and ready to enjoy the experience!

If you have little ones joining us, I always recommend planning around their nap and feeding schedules. Trust me, a well-rested, happy kiddo makes all the difference!

Maternity Sessions

The sweet spot for maternity photos is between 30 and 34 weeks. Your beautiful bump is showing, but you're hopefully not quite at that stage where everything feels uncomfortable. It's the perfect time to celebrate this incredible season of motherhood!

Newborn Sessions

I typically schedule newborn sessions mid-morning, around 10–11 AM, when we have beautiful natural light.

Ideally, these sessions take place within your baby's first 7 weeks. However, because my photography style is more relaxed and lifestyle-focused, I've photographed newborns up to 3 months old! Just keep in mind that as babies grow, the session naturally starts to look and feel a little different.

Family Sessions

Family sessions are scheduled around sunrise or sunset to capture that dreamy, golden light we all love!

If you have younger children, sunrise may actually be your best friend. During the summer and fall, sunset sessions can begin after 7 PM, which isn't always ideal for little ones with early bedtimes.

Because I only offer outdoor sessions during these specific times, availability fills up quickly! I recommend signing up for my newsletter so you're among the first to know when booking opens.

And a little VIP perk? My VIP Membership clients receive early access to booking before dates are released to everyone else!

No matter what type of session you're planning, we'll work together to find a time that gives us the best light and the best experience possible.
