Capturing your families story
Time moves quickly, and you’ll never have this moment again. Your baby bump becomes a real-life baby. Your newborn is walking before you know it. Those adorable chubby cheeks slowly fade, and suddenly you’re looking at this little adult thinking,
“My goodness! Where did my baby go?”

The portrait process
From First Conversation to Finished Heirlooms
The Phone
Consultation
right when you inquire
After you inquire, we’ll have a brief phone call to talk about your family, what matters most to you, and what you hope to preserve from this season of life.
You don’t need to have everything figured out. My role is to guide you and ensure your session is thoughtfully designed from the very beginning, so you feel confident and excited moving forward.
The Planning &
WARDROBE APPOINTMENT
4-6 weeks before session
We’ll meet for a planning and wardrobe consultation where every detail comes together. I’ll help design the look and feel of your session, guide outfit selections, and connect you with trusted professional hair and makeup artists.
Everything is thoughtfully prepared so your session feels cohesive, effortless, and fully taken care of before session day arrives.
The Portrait
session
on scheduled session date
Your session is designed to feel relaxed and enjoyable. You don’t need to know how to pose or what to do - I’ll guide you every step of the way so you feel comfortable, confident, and completely yourself.
This allows genuine moments and connection to unfold naturally, resulting in timeless images that reflect your family honestly.
The Viewing &
Ordering APPOINTMENT
2-3 weeks after session
Once your images are ready, we'll meet together in your home where you’ll see them for the first time and select your favorites. Together, we’ll design custom artwork for your home so your photographs can be seen, lived with, and preserved.
Your photographs are not meant to live on a screen. They are meant to be seen, held, and remembered.
