Your life, your home, your stories...
Time flies right by, and life is too short; it is so important to commemorate every step of life, be it a big celebration, or simply pausing to embrace the moment you are in...
I WAS ALWAYS THAT PERSON WHO TOOK PICTURES OF EVERYONE AND EVERYTHING (GO FIGURE, RIGHT?) AND I AM SO GLAD I DID...
I still look back at all my photos – the good and the imperfect – and it sparks a light in my heart, taking me right back into remembering, and I want to give you the same gift...
So whether this is your annual session to mark your growth, or a session to celebrate a milestone, or maybe for absolutely no reason at all....have no regrets and mark every moment in time that will draw you right back to the memories that warm your heart and the stories that take you back by designing the perfect session.
Let's design a session that is unique and meaningful - one that accurately depicts this moment in time, for you to remember fondly, and if you don't see it listed, contact directly to chat more about a creative, customized session.

FAMILIES
WHAT TO EXPECT
There is nothing quite like the love shared between a family. While I do snap a few images of everyone looking at the camera during the beginning of our session to get those classic shots we love, I mainly focus on honing in on the "love connection." There are lots of hugs, running around (gotta tire out those little ones), and some of the time we get a little dirty or wet. Embrace the messy and imperfect, and let the kiddos be themselves. The secret – just love on each other embarrassingly hard!
Please note additional charges in the Portrait A La Carte page should this be for extended family portraits (more than 6 adults - over the age of 16 - be present for the session).
WHAT TO WEAR
Because of the way these sessions are handled, it is important to wear clothing that is simply clean and comfortable. Although I love a good matchy-matchy session, consider mixing it up and tie the colors together in different ways. Don’t be afraid of letting the kids pick out their own clothes; your photos are meant to bookmark a moment in time, and if they pick out an outrageous outfit, it will be something to smile and laugh at later on and blackmail for their future partners! Typical rule-of-thumb for all photos however is to avoid bright/neon colors, bold patterns, and graphics, unless intentional. Consider the environment of your session as well as your skin complexion when choosing your colors. Darker colors are known to be flattering.
SENIORS
WHAT TO EXPECT
Woah, what a moment in time, and a melting pot of emotions! To best represent your session, I like to find out where you like to spend your time, what kinds of activities you are involved with in and out of school, what you see your future plans being, favorite hang-out spot, and any and every thing that represents who you are this year.

WHAT TO WEAR
Allow yourself to dress comfortably, in the way that you want to remember yourself as you are now. Although it is a good idea to be clean at minimum, everything about your session should be representative of who you are at this moment in time and you can remember yourself as such. Typical rule-of-thumb for all photos however is to avoid bright/neon colors, bold patterns, and graphics, unless intentional. Consider the environment of your session as well as your skin complexion when choosing your colors. Darker colors are known to be flattering.
NEW PARENTS
MATERNITY
Typically you will schedule your maternity session about 6-8 weeks prior to your due date. However, this is totally dependent on the comfort level of the mama. The best way to describe this session would be slow, smooth, and full of love. One outfit is recommended for comfort and ease. If you have a partner or more children, please feel free to request to include them in the session with you. Although darker colors are best known to be most flattering, your beautiful bump tends to get lost in black or dark navy blue. Bold patterns are also encouraged to stay away from given that it will accentuate the curves you are not looking to focus on and will detract from the photo.
NEWBORN
It is recommended to book this session at the same time as you book your maternity, or as early as possible, given that once your little bundle arrives it is safe to say you will be fairly distracted (and understandably so). You will look to have the session in your calendar anywhere from 7-18 days after your anticipated arrival date; this date is dependent on the expectation of your delivery. Although we will have this date locked down, you may stay in communications should your little one decide to arrive early or late, and if necessary we can reconsider your session date. My style of these sessions is to take them right in your home so everyone feels most comfortable and everything that may be needed is readily accessible. No more than 2 outfits are recommended for the infant, but I highly recommend sticking to one for the comfort of your little one. Parents and other family members (pets and other children) are more than welcome - and encouraged - to have photos taken with the little one during this session as well.
