Tell your family love story.
Why?
Everyday we are handing out snacks, cleaning up messes, and searching for their favorite lovey for the 100th time. This season in your life is SPECIAL, even when it doesn't feel it, but it IS. Your family story deserves to be documented and remembered {& not just in selfies}.
You don't need me to tell you that time is fleeting, but what I can tell you is that one day your little one will look back on these photos and see the resemblances of their face in their own little one. One day, the album we print together will be your grandchild's favorite book to grab off your book shelf and have you "read" to them.
At my house? Really?
I photograph most of my clients in their home. Home is where everyone feels the most at ease. Kiddos love to show me their rooms, partners are at liberty to grab a drink and chill, this is a safe space. We simply hang out and play. Backyards are fun hangouts too!
If you want to have a session at your favorite local spot like a park, ice cream shop, or greenway, let's do it! I'm open to so many options that tell your family story.
When?
Let's do this! Now is not too late, but yesterday is! Time doesn't stand still, but these photos do. The "when" really just depends on you, your needs & wants. Newborns arrive whenever they please, fall is my busy season, followed closely by spring. Summer is underrated, it's my favorite! (Throw on the sprinklers and let's have some fun!)
Mornings are usually the best time for little kids (let's make breakfast), evenings are great for older kids and couples. I usually book a month in advance, if you have a date in mind, get in contact with me as soon as you can.
How much?
This is the first question and obviously one of the most important to you. With photography, like any art, prices are all over the place. I'm not the cheapest, I'm not the most expensive, but what I do offer you is an amazing quality and value for your memories and time.
A $250 session fee is due at time of booking to secure your date for a session on my calendar. Digital image collections that include print credit to create beautiful albums and prints begin at $400.
The Process.
Before your session.
Once you're booked I will send a Welcome Guide and a questionnaire. Find a cute & comfy outfit in the meantime. If you're anything like me, jeans are a staple for comfort. (Psst.... await a surprise in your mailbox)
During your session.
You picked out the comfy outfits, we planned out your session together, you're playing in your favorite place, let's have some fun! Cuddles with your cute family are required, lol.
After your session.
Two weeks later you’ll receive fully edited proofs to swoon over and choose from. Have the tissue box ready because the tears will be flowing, happy tears, I promise! (and let me know when it happens!)
Your kiddos self esteem can be enhanced by printed photographs!
Every collection I offer comes with print credit to be used in my online print shop. I believe that photos should be printed and hung on walls, stored in boxes, and printed in albums for your family to look through and enjoy! Kids LOVE books! A book about your family story is the ultimate gift.
Sometimes a Photo isn't enough...
PSSST... HEY MOM... You ARE the story maker!
You deserve to be in the photo! Not those crappy blurry ones your husband takes when you tell him to, but really good ones! You're worthy of being in more than just selfies and blurry images... you also deserve to be stress-free while getting your photo taken. I promise you, your kiddos will want to look back on their childhood and see the real you, just like you probably wish your own mama was in more photos.
