Pre-Booking

Take a look at my website, follow me on Facebook and Instagram, and make sure my style is a fit for you. If you think we're a match, contact me!

During Booking
After we have chatted and you decide to go ahead and book your session, I will send you a contract, invoice and questionnaire.
After the contract is signed, you will be invoiced for the session deposit.
I require your non-refundable deposit to book. The remainder of the session fee is due prior or the day of the session.

After Booking
Relax! Feel free to email or call if you have any questions. If you’re having a newborn session, send me a message when your baby arrives and we'll schedule the date.

Day Of
Family sessions generally take place outdoors during warmer months and my favorite time is the hour before sunset. Indoor newborn sessions take place in the morning or mid-day. There's no strict time limit on sessions but we’ll usually need 60-90 minutes for family sessions and a little longer for newborns (up to 3 hours).

After Your Session
Images are hand-selected and edited and will be available for viewing approximately 4 weeks after your session. Your images will be available for your immediate download.

I am a natural light photographer. I focus on connection, affection, joy, and laughter. I talk and direct during the session when necessary and snap when you and your loved ones are just being perfectly you.

My outdoor sessions are offered one hour prior to sunset (Trust me, your kids can handle it for one night and it is so worth it). So we start around 7:00pm in June, but by 3:00pm in November! My in-home newborn sessions are offered between 10am-12pm (we talk about when the natural light is best in your home!).

Time of year and type of session are determining factors when choosing the best location for your session. If you don’t have a specific setting in mind, I have a few favorite spots around the South Shore. Just ask!

After the contract is signed, I'll send you a personalized questionnaire. This is where you tell me about you and your family. It will ask about personality traits and any special photos you want to capture. This questionnaire will help me prepare for the session and get you thinking about what you want.

Your family’s photography experience will be fun, relaxed, and stress-free! I don’t formally pose families. Instead, I will guide your family through natural interactions. We will play, be silly, goof around and do lots of laughing. I encourage you to think of your photography session as a fun family activity and time for you to be together, connect, and enjoy each other as a family.

My outdoor sessions are 45 minutes-1 hour. My in-home newborn sessions are about 2 hours (totally depends on the baby!)

Yes. Mini sessions generally take place in the Fall and are offered on specific dates. Dates are announced and shared with my email list first. Be sure to sign up below to receive the news first!

Your newborn photography session will be held in your home. I strongly believe that newborns and their families should be captured in a natural, loving environment where they are most comfortable. Please don’t worry about your home being “photo shoot ready” -- it’s perfect, trust me.

I recommend taking newborn photos within 14 days after birth.

Dress as you normally would, wear what you’re comfortable in, and look like yourself. If you feel uncomfortable, you will look uncomfortable, and we don’t want that! Don’t worry about the family having “matching” outfits, but it is nice to coordinate to some degree. Pick 2-3 colors in the same family that are flattering to all of you, and work those in. Classic styles and combos with solid colors and simple patterns work great. Please avoid clothes that have logos, writing, or characters on them.

Please contact me a few months in advance of when you would like to have your session. If you’re going to schedule a newborn session, I recommend two to three months in advance. However, I know how unpredictable life can be -- especially with a baby arriving! If I have availability I'm always happy to work with you with late notice.

September through November tend to book up quickly due to holiday cards, so schedule early!

Kids are kids! I have found the best way to work with children is to have you engaged with them as parents. I want you to play together, laugh together and enjoy your time. And if all else fails… sometimes a little bribery helps. I’ve had many of my clients tell me when we are finished they “had fun.” That’s the goal -- I want your children to see it as fun!

It’s really easy! You can order prints directly through your personal online gallery. All print and product orders are delivered from a professional photography print lab and are of a higher quality than retail print outlets. I encourage you to print your photos -- they belong in your home, not on your hard drive!
