INVEST IN YOU

I believe in capturing love, relationships, vulnerability, strength, softness, beauty, personality... all the real, and all the things that make you unique, and that make your relationships special. I'm obsessed with gorgeous natural light, and I love how magical it can make a photo when used just right.


I don't have a set amount of "shooting time" for sessions, because every session is different. I take the time I need to capture what we both want, and I am FAST. I know that all of us (and especially little ones) get tired out quickly, and our best photos come when we are most relaxed and happy. One of the things that keeps my clients coming back year after year, is they can count on a session full of GREAT images, and also a relatively painless shooting experience. 


For every session:

Scheduling Fee $100

Once we agree on a date, you will have one week to send the scheduling fee of $100 to hold your spot. You WILL NOT have your spot guaranteed if you don't send the fee. (You can send it through Venmo, PayPal, bring it to me, or mail it to me.) The $100 fee is non-refundable. I will work with you to reschedule if you have emergency circumstances (at my discretion).

*A print release allows you to print the photos at a lab of your choosing. You MAY NOT alter the photos in any way, except cropping for print sizes. You may not sell the photos, or represent them as anyone's work other than mine. I hold the COPYRIGHT to the photos, and reserve the right to use them on my website, Facebook page, and in articles that I write for other websites. If you DO NOT want your photos to be used publicly by me, please let me know, and I will do my best to respect your wishes.


** Dropbox is an online file-sharing program. It's completely free and safe for your computer! I simply invite you to your folder, you follow a few simple instructions, and you will have the same folder on your computer with all the full-resolution files. It's quick, and you get your session faster, since I can send them to you as soon as I finish editing... even if it's 1:00 a.m. ;) You can also share the dropbox folder with any of your family and friends that you want to have access to your photos. The other GREAT benefit of dropbox is that all of your session files are also backed up online, so if something happens to your hard drive, or the disc that you've burned, they're still there! No lost photos. :) If you don't want to use dropbox, I would be happy to put your photos on a flash drive for an additional $25 fee.






You can also order professional prints through me!
