let's talk!
attire
After we discuss the session type, I can send a guide with suggestions to fit your personal style. I want you to feel comfortable and confident. I will always recommend neutral colors. We can play around with simple patterns, textures, mixing materials, tone-on-tone, soft hues. A simple aesthetic is a timeless look. These are the photos you will want to have up on your walls for years to come. You are art. I want to be sure I capture you as you are, whatever that may look like.
posing
Let's tell your story. I will guide you through your session but also want your personality to shine through. I always tell my clients to relax, be open: hold your loved one, look into their eyes, take a little walk while holding hands. I will give you cues and direction. My job is to make you feel comfortable. I want to capture you, as you are. We will still get those posed photos in the mix, but I also want to capture you hugging, touching, holding, laughing, smiling, playing, enjoying the presence of your loved one(s), all those in-between moments of connection and documentation. Trust me to enjoy the process.
location
When we chat, we can talk about the type of photos you're wanting but also ideas for location: studio, your home, city life, vast landscape, sunset beach, moody forest, your favorite coffee shop or park...there's so many! I have ideas for all over, so don't worry if you're unsure.
I want to create photos that you love and know we can make any location one to remember.
If you want to capture a home session, I just ask that you find the spots with the most natural light. We may have to simplify the space a bit. Sometimes less is more. But I can ensure you and your home will shine.
For an in-home studio session, please note that a $50 fee will be added.
images
When your session is complete, I will edit and upload your hi-resolution images to download, print, and share. I just ask that you please tag me when posting. (That's how I get most of my clients...from people like you!)
I will send a sneak peek within a week and complete your session in two to three weeks, depending on the session length. If a deadline is present, please communicate with me so that I can do my best for you.
travel
I will travel up to 30 miles for no added charge. After that, it is .50 per mile. Please let me know if you're flexible with timing, and I can accomodate with other sessions I have throughout the year.
weather
I love to embrace whatever elements come our way. However, if the weather becomes hazardous, we can absolutely reschedule.
animals
I always say yes to animals! I have pets of my own, so I am totally down for that.
gift certificates
If you would like to give the gift of memories, please contact me. These can be redeemed up to one year after purchase.
