Realizing the importance of high-quality, consistent photos, and valuing professional delivery of services, families plan to invest a minimum of $450-$700 in their image collection and photo experience. Pricing below reflects investment for the following:
*more inclusive digital collections available
My newborn style is simple and natural. In order to keep images timeless and pure, I rarely use props beyond simple wraps and small headbands. Newborn sessions most often occur within two weeks of baby's birth, and may include parents and older siblings.
MINIMUM INVESTMENT $700
I offer a "Petite" Maternity studio session for mamas who have booked their newborn session with me. Daddy or one child may be included, if desired. More-extensive maternity sessions also available. Please inquire.
MINIMUM INVESTMENT $350
Most commonly, these are sessions for "sitters", birthday babies, and toddlers / preschoolers. Sessions take place primarily in my studio on Mondays or Fridays, and are designed for one child. Add Mama to session for priceless Motherhood Imagery.
MINIMUM INVESTMENT $525
Family session focus will be on interaction, connection, and authentic emotion. Families are the most lovely when they are relaxed and having fun.
MINIMUM INVESTMENT $__
Senior sessions will be simple, focusing on the PERSON, not their "stuff" (i.e. minimal props). Sessions are 2-3 hours long & include a variety of both indoor (optional) & outdoor settings, with opportunity for wardrobe changes.

ALL-INCLUSIVE DIGITALS $__
(not currently available) Capture life as it is right now. Session will be set in your home and will focus on emotional connection and the authentic moments that happen as part of your 'everyday'. This is not a "look-at-the-camera-and-smile" session.

Kindly take a minute to peruse my portfolio for samples of my work, illustration of my photographic approach, and more information on sessions and scheduling.
Are there different digital packages?
Do I need to pay all at once?
How early do I need to book?
Do you offer weekend sessions?
How are photos delivered?
What can I do with digital photos?
Above, you will see listed the *minimum* investment for each session type. If this general amount is within your photography budget, I am happy to share more detailed investment information with you. For most session types, I offer three different Digital Collection options (medium, large, and all-inclusive). I believe in transparent pricing, so there are no surprises at any point during the process.
No. Clients make three monetary installments: Retainer Fee, Session Fee, and Order Fee. These are spread out, making it more financially-manageable for families. If you would like to further spread out payment of your Order Fee, this can be done, by arrangement.
Honestly, the sooner the better, as I fill up rather quickly. I do limit the number of sessions I do each month, and--sadly--must decline requests that would put me over this limit. Newborn and First Year families are my scheduling priority.
Short answer: I try not to.
As you can understand, weekends are my family time. Studio sessions almost always occur on Mondays or Fridays, during the day. In some rare instances, a weekend session might be possible, but will require an additional fee.
Images will be delivered via Digital Download, and detailed download and usage instructions will be provided.
