The Process

our journey together

Click through to learn more about what it looks like to work with me.

Step 1

Connect & Say Hello

Fill out the inquiry form, and I’ll reach out shortly with availability, next steps, and answers to any questions you may have.
Together, we’ll make sure your session feels calm, natural, and truly right for your family’s season.

Step 2

Get it on the calendar

Once you're ready, I’ll send over the booking form and retainer invoice to officially reserve your date. From there, you can breathe easy—your session is fully taken care of, and all you need to do is simply arrive and enjoy the moment with your family.

Step 3

Plan with confidence

You’ll receive a welcome guide filled with all the good stuff—what to wear, how to prep, and what to expect—so you feel calm and ready. I’ll also help you choose a location (and yes, I’m always happy to peek at outfit options if you need a second opinion!).

Step 4

Show up and soak it in

On session day, there’s nothing you need to do but love on your people. I’ll gently guide you when needed, but mostly I’ll let the connection unfold while I capture the magic of your family that’s already there.

Step 5

memories delivered

Within three weeks, you’ll receive your full gallery of hand-edited images ready to download, print, and relive all over again. You’ll also have access to heirloom albums, framed artwork, and print options to turn those moments into something truly lasting.

Frequently Asked Questions

How soon will we receive our photos?

Can siblings join the session?

Can we order more albums or prints later?

What happens if we need to reschedule due to weather or illness?

Can I upgrade to the Milestone Collection after booking a single session?

How soon will we receive our photos?

Your full gallery will be delivered within three weeks of your session. I hand-edit each image with care to make sure your final collection feels consistent, heartfelt, and true to your story. You’ll receive a private online gallery where you can view, download, and share your photos.

Can siblings join the session?

Absolutely — siblings are always welcome.
Your family’s connection, the excitement around welcoming a new baby, and the sweet interactions between siblings are some of the moments we value most. We actually encourage siblings to be part of the session, as these images often become some of the most meaningful ones for families to look back on

Can we order more albums or prints later?

Of course! You can always order additional albums, prints, or artwork directly from your gallery after delivery—or reach out if you’d like help designing something special. Many families come back to add keepsakes for holidays, birthdays, or gifts.

What happens if we need to reschedule due to weather or illness?

Life happens, especially with little ones. If anyone in your family is feeling under the weather or if the weather isn’t ideal for an outdoor session, we’ll simply find a new date that works. I build flexibility into my calendar for this very reason, and I want your session to feel relaxed, not rushed or forced. Your comfort (and your kiddos') comes first.

Can I upgrade to the Milestone Collection after booking a single session?

Yes! If you start with a single session and later decide you’d like to document more milestones, you can absolutely upgrade to the full Milestone Collection. I’ll apply a portion of your original session fee toward the collection so you never pay for anything twice. Just let me know and we’ll take it from there.
