The Experience

"My kids are movers, but the photos she took are just amazing. For her it is about having fun and letting your children be just that, children."  
~ Shannon B.


 
Laid back and fun! That's what it's all about!

I was a preschool teacher for many years, now a SAHM, and have worked with children of all ages for the past 10+ years, so I'm very patient when photographing and allow the children to be their authentic selves.



3 rules for families are:

1.) CONNECT with your family through snuggles & smiles,
2.) LET GO of expectations 
3.) HAVE FUN!

will do the rest to make sure your photos look epic, timeless, and nostalgic.

​

At the time of booking, you'll receive my Session Guide filled with tips & wardrobe advice. Then, about a month before your session (or sooner if booked less than a month out), we'll connect again to discuss wardrobe in further detail, I can help select pieces if you need guidance, and answer any other questions you may have.

​

Depending on the attention span of your children, sessions will last between 30 and 90 minutes, with the average being 45 minutes.

 

Kids might have grumpy moments, and THAT'S OKAY! We'll go with the flow and take a quick snack break if needed.

 

I won't overly pose you into super awkward positions - I'll gently guide you into what looks best in photos while you play and snuggle with your family.

 

Once your session is complete, I'll send an online gallery 2 - 4 weeks after your session where you'll be able to download your images.
