My Process
1. Request a session
The first thing you will want to do is request a session. You will navigate to my booking site where you will select what session you would like: Signature session, Newborn, or Milestone. Select a date and time and I will get back to you as soon as possible.
2. Paperwork
Once I have received your inquiry for a session, I will look that over, check my calendar and get back with you. If I do not have that date available, I will let you know by email or I will suggest a new date and time. If I accept that inquiry, you will be sent a confirmation and a prompt to finish your booking. At this point you will also receive a print release and general contract. Payment plans are available upon request.
3. Final details
Once I have received the retainer and contract back from you, I will reach out to plan the final details. We will discuss location, clothing, and ensure dates and times are accurate. We will also discuss if there are any props or extra items for your session. This is your consolation so ask any questions you may have.
4.Delivering photos
Prior to the session date we will decide on a meeting place. Day of we will ensure all payments have been made. During the session, I will guide you with poses and help make the session stress free and fun! God has created us in a beautiful and unique way. Let's enjoy the day! After the session, expect a one or tow week turn-around. Photos will be delivered via email with a link to a private gallery.

FAQ
01. This is my first photoshoot, what should I know?
Getting photos done can be stressful, but I want to ease some of that. I work very hard to make the session feel comfortable, not awkward, and more than just a photo session. My goal is to provide you with photos that reflect your family, kiddo, or senior. Not give you a Pinterest board. (though I do love Pinterest lol). I will work to make sure that you feel confident in your phots and love them!
02. How soon should we book a session?
Depending on what type of session you are looking for and how soon you need those photos back will determine when you should message me. I do have a one month in advance booking policy.
03. How long does it take to get our photos?
Typically, you will receive your photos back in no more than 2 weeks. Time of year plays a big role in my editing process. I also teach school, so if school is in session, expect a 2 week turn around time. Summer sessions usually are returned within a few days. I am very Type B here so you could receive your photos in one day or it could be 2 weeks. I will try very hard to get a sneak peek the day after. :)
04. Can you recommend any good locations?
Most of the time I will provide you with 3 options to choose from for location. I am however open to location suggestions. My price includes travel up to a certain distance. If you have questions or want to do your photos at a particular place, please let me know, I'd be happy to accommodate.
