Why do I Photograph?
When I was 17 years old, my dad passed away, leaving me only memories and a handful of photographs. I often wish I had more pictures of him. Photography freezes moments, altering life by holding it still. As cliché as it may sound, creating galleries for families makes me feel like I'm making a positive impact in the world. I feel incredibly fortunate to have this job, capturing fleeting moments for others.
Photographs are one of the most important things we have in life. They hold your heritage, and they will be passed down for generations for your kid's kids to learn about who you were in the best stages of life. My goal as your photographer is to capture all of those tiny details of your maternity, new miracle, milestones and family, that often go unnoticed and will all to soon be forgotten.
What to Expect…
Personal Consult
Once you have signed your contract and paid your session fee, we will add you to my schedule tentatively according to your due date. We will do a phone or in person (your choice) consultation about your wishes for products to display in your home and where you may want to hang your artwork. We will also talk about outfit choices, color preferences and set designs if those apply to your session
The Session
The big day has arrived! Time to relax and get some great shots. We will have the session in the comfort of my fully stocked studio for newborn/milestone/maternity or on location for family/senior sessions. We will schedule an order session appointment 1-2 weeks after this. This is may be one of the first times that you have been able to relax, sit back and have no worries since before baby was born. Embrace it and enjoy it with some refreshments.
Viewing and ordering appointment
This is my favorite part! You will come back to my studio on your scheduled ordering session date. You will be able to enjoy refreshments while viewing your beautiful photographs on a custom slideshow or reveal wall. I will guide you through choosing products to display in your home, as well as any add-ons you want to send to family and friends. I will show you the best images from the session. Please have all decision makers present, as you will be placing your order that day - payment is also required at that time.
Delivery
Your products and digitals will be ready for delivery within 2 weeks after your ordering session. I will contact you when your products have arrived and we can arrange for you to pick them up at my studio.
