You schedule a complimentary call and we chat. I’ll send a proposal and agreement for you to complete and sign, you pay a 20% retainer to hold your spot, and then you will be officially booked! Everything is easily completed online.

Don’t avoid an indoor session JUST because you are worried your home is not picture perfect. I promise it doesn't matter. I have techniques to minimize background clutter by changing angles and moving in closer. What is important is documenting this special time. Of course, it looks best to tidy up before the shoot, but you still want it to look like your home. I’ll provide more specifics in the Family Session Guide and during our pre-session phone consult, but this part is easy and not something I want you to worry about at all.

We’ll work together to plan what works best for your session, but the most important thing is to be comfortable and feel like yourselves. This is not something I want you to stress about. We’ll discuss this more and you’ll also receive more information about this in your Session Guide.

I frequently hear from folks that they feel uncomfortable in front of the camera. My goal is to make everyone feel relaxed and to enjoy the session because I believe sessions should be easy. I provide gentle guidance to support connection and enhance lighting and composition. Primarily, I want you to be yourselves so we can capture this moment in time.

I’m a mom and early childhood special educator, so I happily will play and engage your children. And nothing phases me! This kind of goes without saying, but staying positive about how you talk about the sessions, during the hours leading up to and during your session is also very important. Children feel all of our emotions, so you’ll want to minimize stress, relax, and have fun! I share more details in your Session Guide after booking and we’ll work together during pre-planning to make sure everyone feels comfortable on the day of the session.

I am fully vaccinated and wear a mask for all indoor sessions. My goal is to ensure everyone feels safe and comfortable, so we will discuss this in more detail during our phone consult.

You may reschedule once if you notify me at least 48 hours in advance. We can transfer the session payment to a new date as long as it is within 6 weeks of the original booked date. This does not include rescheduling due to weather (rain, extreme cold) or a conflict out of my control. If I'm sick, I will also reschedule because I would never want to expose your family. In the event of session cancellation for any reason (other than weather), the retainer will not be refunded. If you cancel, all retainers paid are not refundable.
