Family Session Information

As a mother with a background in fine arts and teaching I plan your session with mothering care, a teacher’s planning, and lots of imagination to create a custom session unique to you.

My Promise To you:

I'm Flexible: Whenever children are involved I know things don't always go as planned no matter how well prepared we are. My contract just asks that you give me 24 hours notice if you need to reschedule.

Your session will be fun and stress free: My goal is for you to love your session experience as much as your photos. I don't want you to look at photos from your session and remember how you had to pester and bribe your child to smile. I help you and your kids relax and have fun with music, simple games, jokes, and goofiness on my part. You will be able to let loose as a parent for an hour while I take control.

Images you will be proud to show off: Your images will be loving, connected, and authentic. All of your images will be edited and retouched with care. You will love what your family and friends say about them when seen online and in your home.

Wardrobe Styling Included!

Client Closet:

I will not only help style your family for their session but I have a client closet for you and your littles!

Pricing:

  • There is a creative fee of $125 for family sessions ($175 for extended family sessions). This includes clothing use for Mom & kids, studio or site rental, props such as blankets and flower, in addition to planning your session. *Prints & digital files are sold separately form the session fee.

Print & Design Appointment:

I provide you with a print and design service after your session. So instead of dropping a bunch of digitals into your lap I make sure you end your session with a tangible product along with images to share on social media.

  • Within 2 weeks after your session I will meet with you in your home for your Print & Design Appointment.
  • Printing is an art in itself and I want to make sure you receive the magazine worthy prints you are dreaming of.
  • I have designed a line of products and services that are family friendly, unique, custom made, and affordable.
  • Using special design software I'll help you sort through the images and make final decisions on what will look best with your style.
  • You will be able to see and touch the print products before ordering for full confidence in your purchase.

My design service and product line will save you time, provide you with professional guidance, and give you a finished product you couldn't order from anywhere else. I don't want my clients unhappy years from now because they put value in a flash drive they never used. Photos are only valuable if they're seen and seen often!

Print Products:

  • When you order through me I will show you product types before you order, make cropping decisions, ensure color quality, ensure you receive high quality products from one of the finest print labs, and design products for your needs and style.
  • I use my extensive knowledge and top of the line software to design heirloom prints that are truly unique. I promise one day these prints of your family will be your most cherished possessions.
  • After all your effort to get the photos done I want to make sure you've made the most of your photos. How wonderful would it be to sit with your grandkids one day as you flip through a beautiful heirloom album and tell them all about their mom/dad when they were little? Connecting the older generations to the next, capturing a moment that sparks a memory of a youth once lived, stopping time just at the perfect moment and having it to reminisce upon time and again … that is the true investment of professional photography.

*It is very important to me that you feel confident in your purchases. You will know exactly what you are getting before you order. 100% satisfaction guaranteed

I look forward to creating a custom session for your family! Please don't hesitate to ask questions. I am happy to make you a short video so you can see products you are interested in. My print products are high quality, hand crafted prints only available to pro photographers with a license.
