Every Moment Tells a Story

why choose me?

the details

Our journey begins with a consultation where we get to know each other, discuss your vision, and discuss how we can tailor a photography experience that perfectly aligns with your family's needs and preferences. This is an opportunity for an informal conversation before you ever book a session with us, where we can learn more about your photography goals, answer any questions you may have, and explore how we can tailor our services to your specific needs. It's an opportunity for you to get to know us better and see if we're the perfect photographer for your family photography session.

initial meeting

Booking your session is a breeze. Start by reaching out to discuss your vision and preferences. Once we've determined the date and time of your session, then you'll receive a booking proposal, sign agreement, and pay a non-refundable retainer to secure your spot. After confirming your session, we'll provide you with all the information you need to prepare for your unforgettable photography experience. From consultation to delivery, I'm here to make the photography process simple and stress-free, ensuring you can focus on creating lasting memories with your loved ones.

ready to book

To assist you in planning the perfect session, we've created a comprehensive planning questionnaire. This questionnaire covers every aspect of your photoshoot, from location and style to clothing and themes. You can make your session as detailed or as simple as you'd like! To ensure your session is nothing short of exceptional, we provide you with access to our exclusive Client Lounge. This an exclusive website that empowers you to prepare, feel confident, and shine in front of the camera.

prepping for your shoot

Using my extensive knowledge, my state-of-the-art cameras, lenses, and equipment, I capture your images with precision and skill. Your session is not just a collection of photographs — it's a narrative that reflects your family's uniqueness and the beauty of your current life stage. While I do not make the everyone look at the camera and smile the main goal of my session, I do try to capture at least one. I'll gently guide you through poses and interactions that encourage the capturing of authentic emotions and inspire connections. My aim is to create natural, flattering images that reflect your genuine selves.

your session day

Once the session concludes, I carefully curate the best images and perform professional editing, including color correction, exposure adjustments, and minor blemish removal. This ensures your family looks their best in the final portraits. Your complete gallery of images will be delivered in a convenient online gallery, allowing you to easily share and relive the joy with loved ones near and far. Access your memories from any smart device, wherever you are in the world!
