AS A PHOTOGRAPHER IT'S MY GOAL TO CAPTURE A COMBINATION OF BEAUTIFUL
AND CLASSY IMAGES OF YOU AND YOUR FAMILY AND CHILDREN
For family sessions, I like to choose locations where young kids can just play
Play brings out the most natural expressions of fun and joy with families, and
it keeps that energy burning so we can keep their attention when we really need it
During my sessions, I use a variety of techniques to capture
natural moments of joy, love, passion, and focusing during play
Newborn sessions last a good 1-3 hours due to the time need to feed, sooth and pose the baby!
included are photos of the parent(s), sibling(s) and family portraiTS
To ensure we have enough time to order or make any/or acquire any decorations
It's best to book your sessions and cake smashes and portraits 3 weeks in advance!
I'm always happy to chat with you about your photo and themes ideas!
Cake smash sessions include all of the basic decorations, (bed, pillows, pompoms,
backdrops, flowers, etc.) to match your color preference or theme.
Milestone Portraits are available for babies between the ages of 3 and 12 months and include 2-3 outfit changes!
Availability is now open for sessions outdoors and in your own in-home spaces!
FAMILY & CHILDREN'S PORTRAITS
THE JOURNEY STARTS HERE
This is one of my favorite things, the tremendous privilege of photographing families as they grow and change over time. These are the most important times and stories of your life as it shifts and settles and grows in love!
It's so much fun capturing sweet little ones, from newborns, infants, toddlers, teens and their parents.
It's PURE JOY!
"My bias is very simple, I think the families photographs should be in all your homes!
AN 8x10 digital Kids Frame will be provided with your
FAMILY & CHILDREN'S portraits sessions
(One per child under 7 years old)
MATERNITY PORTRAITS
THE FAMILY WAY
Pregnancy is a remarkable time in your life, full of amazing changes and giddy anticipation's. No wonder these times are so special. The ideal time to schedule a pregnancy photo shoot is generally between the weeks of 28 and 32, so you can show off that adorable baby bump!
For jaw dropping photos location is everything ...but it's all about your comfort too! Your shoot isn't complete without your partner by your side your or you can go solo too! Your excitement will shine through your maternity pictures!
NEWBORN & TODDLER'S PORTRAITS
In order to capture your newborn in adorable curly poses, it's best to do so at five to twelve days after giving birth!
When it comes to setting a date, you should reach out before giving birth to avoid any added stress in clearing your calendar. Typically it's a good idea to schedule the session to take place a week after your expected date!
Yes, you can take newborn photos after two weeks, but you'll have to opt for different poses and concept's... booking at least 2-3 months in advance is encouraged!
*All events, weddings, and portrait sessions are to be paid in full by the scheduled session!

Family FAQ's
What should we wear to our Family Session?
Choose a base neutral color such as white, cream, grey or use colors that pop and are representative of the season. Combine color patterns such as a checker, floral, solid and stripe (small). Don’t overdo it on patterns and don't forget to accessorize! And mostly choose your outfits in accordance with the weather and temperatures. Layering is also recomended!
What is the best time of year to take family photos?
Family and Children Portrait Sessions are so much fun, and it's best to keep in mind the schedule is for your younger children, such as when they need to be fed, changed, or be sleeping when so younger, such as infants and newborns.
The best time is during evenings, just a few hours before sunset. This assures lots of time for breaks, posing, and just plain having fun!
Overcast semi-sunny days are best because having the sun around noon time to 3 pm will make for squinty faces!
That depends on how old or young your children are. For example, you wouldn’t want to schedule a family session on July 1st as the sunsets at 8:24 pm, ideally, we should start at 7 pm for the perfect sunset images. If your child goes to bed at 7, then that wouldn’t be the best choice, so we can do one of two things. Start earlier, and it may not necessarily be the best time, but still doable, or schedule it in early May or late August.
Fall Sessions usually start late September to the end of October. Having young children, it's best to schedule on a weekend in the afternoons or early week evenings from 3 PM and to end before sunset, usually around 4 PM. Wear weather-appropriate attire, especially the kids.
Do you have any suggestions on locations?
First, it's very helpful then knowing how far you are coming from and if you like the water, woods, hillside or meadow with grass, bridges, beaches, fun spots like a train station, a farm/barn or prefer a rural setting or city one.
I am always looking for new spots that are public and private. I would love to hear about your ideas too!
Do you have a particular theme to your photos? or maybe your group has a speciffic setting.
Your fur babies are very welcome just as long as they don't jump on the photographer!
How do I get my kiddos to participate and smile?
Ice Cream & Candy…joking…but really, a special treat works and gives kids an incentive by letting them know we are going to have fun and play together. If you can show them a photo of me on my website or Facebook page, then they are familiar with me already. Me On Facebook
This photo is a fun one of me. You can bring a favorite toy that you wouldn’t mind in photos, or if they will give it up, I can use it to make them smile. While I love traditional photos, it is not realistic that your child will stand still and just smile the whole time. They need to play and run and laugh, and I ask them questions like who their favorite superhero or princess is and what they love to color...so many questions....
How long will my session be?
A full family session takes 45-60 minutes. With small children, plan on at least 90 minutes. These sessions are booked as One-Hour, Two-Hour & and three-hour (infants). Mini-Sessions are from 30 minutes and with seasonal specials, it is typically 15 minutes.
When and how will I get my photos?
If you choose a sneak peek, it will be posted on social media within 4-7 days, depending on how booked I am.
Your final images will be delivered in an online gallery in 3-4 weeks, and a link will be sent to your email that you can download, order prints, and share on social media within one month. You can add family members to the gallery by their email, and they can also order prints in the gallery.
Baby & Toddler's
Cake Smash FAQ's
When should I schedule my baby’s one year session?
The best time to bring your baby in for their one-year session is at 11 months. This allows time for me to edit a few photos and get them right back to you so you can print invitations or order prints for their party. Also, he or she may not be walking and as mobile, but if they are walking, typically they love the cake so much that they won’t want to leave it! Read more about Mommy & Cake Smash Sessions
What type of clothing should my baby wear?
I have some rompers and outfits that may match the set up available in my client closet or an order will be placed. The first photos are usually in an outfit or dress that matches and are done before the cake. A romper or short sleeve and shorts are best for the cake smash so you can see the frosting mess on their arms, legs, feet and face. Please ask what is available in your baby’s size and I can send you some photos of the outfits that we can use. Let me know what theme your looking for when scheduling so we can order in plenty of time for your session. What do you prefer as a background, including colors.
What should I bring to the session?
You will most definitely get messy too, so a change of clothes for whomever is helping me with your baby. Some outfits for him or her, a drink to wash down cake is always helpful. Your baby will get all cleaned up in the bath and I have towels for you and your baby to use.
How do I choose a theme?
Choosing a theme can be fun and overwhelming at the same time., so helps to think about what your baby loves to play with, watch or do. Some parents choose a color scheme that will go well printed on walls in their home; a very neutral yet simple setup. Scour Pinterest for inspertion!
Do I bring my own cake?
You do not; a one tier cake is included. You can decide on chocolate, vanilla, or a fun flavor like strawberry, and we can dye a vanilla cake to match the set up. You can choose from a simple white cake, naked cake or a fun color of unicorn, mermaid, stump with a bear or deer, etc. Again, scour my Facebook albums and Pinterest for something you love that goes along with your theme. Have fun looking! Share the photo of your choice with at least 3 weeks in advance so the cake will be ready for your session day!
Can I bring siblings or other family members to the session?
I do not suggest you bring siblings unless they are much older and can sit quietly. The goal is to have your baby looking and smiling at the camera (me). Sometimes an older sibling or an over zealous grandparent (I know because I am one!) can distract the baby and they look at them the whole time. The less people there are, the less distracted your baby will be. I have no problem with you recording a video or taking behind the scenes photos to share with family members. There are beverages of tea and coffee while you wait.
Newborn Session Faq's
Do I need to do anything to prepare for my baby’s session ahead of time?
The morning of your session try to keep your baby awake as much as possible and feed him or her just before you leave the house. Putting lotion on any areas of dry skin will help with the editing process. I have warm blankets, burp cloths, a bottle warmer, extra diapers, wipes, and lotion. There is coffee, tea, water and snacks available as well as a comfy chair. Please bring in a clean pair of clothes to change the baby and whatever you need to keep the baby happy as well anything you might need when you arrive at the studio.
Do I need to bring anything with me to the session?
You will not need to bring clothes for the baby to change into and I have outfits and wraps available for your baby. We will discuss colors, textures and styles you like and I will choose some options for him or her. If your baby uses a pacifier for soothing you can bring it along to help settle your baby.
How long will my session take?
A full Newborn Session takes up to 3 hours. Why so long? Between wrapping, changing, settling, feeding and changing diapers. If you are bringing siblings it adds a little time to the family portion of the session. The wrapped Petite Session takes up to 2 hours.
What do I do with my toddler or older children during the session?
Family photos are done first and then siblings. This typically takes 40-60 minutes from the time you arrive. I do have soft coloring books and children’s and crayons in the studio for them to play with while they wait for me to wrap the baby. There is also packages that mom can use on mother's day. There are also two-hours and three hours available!
How many photos will I receive?
A full Newborn session offers 15 high-resolution color/black & white digital downloads and the mini-session offers 10 digital downloads. More will be added to the gallery than what is included. This gives you the option to choose the ones you love. You do not have to purchase additional images as you can order prints of ANY and ALL of them in the gallery. There is also album and photobooks and cards available in the online store as well as framed wall art decor. The entire gallery can be shared with family and friends. There are also digital kids frames included.
How long will I have to download my images?
When you come to your session I have you sign a Print Release that has a one-year retention policy. That means you have up to a year to download your images and get them on a hard drive or thumb drive that you own. The images will always be in the gallery and if you lose your link or email I am happy to resend it to you. If you choose a sneak peek, it will be posted on social media within 7 days. Your final images will be delivered in an online gallery by your email that you can download, order prints and share on social media. You can add family members to the gallery by their email and they can also order prints in the gallery and download all images. You will be provided an app that you can add to your phone of your digital images 15 (limited), the best color digital images will be chosen.
