the process
01
INQUIRE
Contact me here. Tell me your story, your wishes for your session, approximate date you’d like your session and any other details you’re willing to share.
02
RESERVE + PLANNING
With a $175 retainer and a signed contract, we’ve secured your date. I’ll send your session guide with all the helpful tips for planning and prepping, my studio wardrobe options, and plan all the details so you feel ready and excited.
03
SESSION DAY
The best part! We’ll meet at your chosen location and spend the entire time focused on your family’s connection. My only request is you are always touching, holding or loving on your loved ones. Minimal interaction with the camera, and a happy heart. Think of it as a “play date while dressed up”.
04
GALLERY DELIVERY
As soon as we’re done with the session, I go to my office to back up all your images and start curating a full gallery for your family. You’ll receive a minimally edited soft proof gallery of all images sent within three days of our session for you to thoroughly view and select your favorite images to be fully edited. Once those are selected (and additional images have been purchased), I’ll send all your purchased images within one week and have your prints ready for pick-up or shipping.

Great question! The sooner the better.
Maternity is best taken between 28 and 32 weeks pregnant. I recommend making sure your session is secured and retainer is paid in the 20-24 weeks timeframe.
I suggest securing your newborn session early in your second trimester. This will ensure you have your session spot and won’t be scrambling last minute. There’s lots of planning that goes into it and we wanna be sure you’re well-prepared before you go into labor/induced.
