Getting to Know You

When you inquire about a session with me, I highly encourage you to spare no detail! Share your LOVE STORY with me, your JOURNEY, and everything that makes you.. YOU!

Share your desires for how you want to tell your story. Like a picnic date by the water, sharing a bike ride in the park, or sharing a pizza at the spot you had your first date!

No idea is "too much"!

Save the Date

After confirming the time and date, this is the part where you pay the retainer to lock in your session to the Calendar!

Once that is done, you will receive your Session Guides. These hold all the information you need to prepare you for your session, help build your outfits to better tell your story, and some heads up with parking and which paths to take!

Planning

Now is the planning process!

I will take every detail you share from your inquiry and questionnaire to bring your story to life! This will make your session really emphasize who YOU are!

From here, I will send you suggestions of locations that really set the scene. I will get started on your storyboard to connect all the ideas into a story with a beginning to end!

Your Session

The day is finally here! I'll throw on some music, you will dance, run, play! All the things that make you feel the most like YOU! You will be so in the moment that you'll forget there's even a camera there!

 

Happy Mail

Sneak peeks will be delivered to your Online Gallery within 24 hours of your session! This is the "TRAILER" to the rest of your gallery!

Then the magic behind the scenes happens (a week or two) and DING! Your Gallery is Delivered! This is the part where you get to relive your session but this time through my lens!

After viewing & you want to hold these moments in your hands, you can have your photos professionally printed straight from your Online Gallery!
