4 Steps to Success with Less Stress

Design Consultation


👩‍💻 Planning a photoshoot and styling your family can feel overwhelming, don't let this hold you back. I am here to walk you through the process and it all begins with a pre-consultation in studio or over the phone if you prefer. During this time I will get to know more about you and your family. We will discuss what inspired you to reach out and where your portraits will live. ALL of your questions will be answered as we cover styling and best wardrobe selections, wall space and interior design preferences, I will gain valuable insight that will help me create your dream images and we'll ensure you have a full understanding of what I offer and the investment you'll be making. We will go over all of your concerns in advance so I know where I can be of assistance to make the experience as relaxed and enjoyable as possible. 

The

Session


📸 My number one goal during your session is to make it as low pressure as possible, while creating the most magic as possible. I will walk you through posing and prompts designed to keep your family engaged and connected. Stress about your kids cooperating? Have no worries, I am a boy mom of 2 and have specialized in child photography for over 10 years. I keep it low pressure, positive and playful. Have a grumpy picture day hubby? Who doesn’t!  Dad’s I work with often say “oh that’s it! ” at the end of the session, because really, all they have to do is show up and be positive for their family. I’ll take care of the rest. Not Photogenic? I hear this ALL the time and trust me, you are!  With posing that flatters, high end beauty lighting and master retouching, I have all the tools in my tool box to ensure you look and feel amazing!


Reveal Appointment


🎉 The wait is over!  Two weeks post session I will invite you back to the studio where you will get to see all of your fully re-touched images. We will go through your gallery and select your Can’t Live Without & Must Have images. Using our Design Consultation as my guide, I will have custom wall art options available to view “virtually” in your home true to size, using state of the art design soft-ware. You will get to look and feel you way through my full sample gallery as we discuss the textures and finishes that best compliment your home.

Delivery & Installation


💝 The most exciting step of all!  Your order will take anywhere from 2-8 weeks to arrive, when it does we will hand deliver AND take care of installation for you. (Oh, the dads love this too 😉.)

Take the step that gets the ball rolling....👇
