  • I will not rush you. I have 2 kids of my own so I understand that little ones require patience. Feel free to snuggle, nurse and comfort and play to your heart's content. Plan around nap times so your child is as bright eyed and bushy tailed as possible.
  • 30-50 fully edited photos to view in an online gallery {with a link to share with family and friends}.
  • Prints available a la cart from a professional high quality photo lab so you can mix and match and order whatever package suits your needs. Don't forget to order enough for Grandma and Grandpa!

What to wear: Avoid busy prints on clothing as it can distract from your child's natural sweetness. Bold colors are always fun, but for the most part, whatever you choose for them to wear will be perfect.

Tips: Plan ahead for your engagement session! Many people choose to use an engagement portrait for either their Save The Date card or their wedding invitation, so make sure you're allowing for enough time to get them sent out before the wedding. Typically invites are sent out 4-6 weeks before the wedding and Save The Date cards can be sent up to a year in advance.

Price: $75

  • 1/2 hour {mini-session} at the location of your choosing - {however keeping in mind that I prefer natural light settings, so if you do want your shoot to be indoors, please plan ahead for time of day and big open windows.}

What's a mini-session?: Sometimes you just want a nice photo for the Holiday card. Or maybe you want to send pictures to Grandma of your little princess in her Easter dress. Perhaps you want to capture the memory of the kiddos in their Halloween costumes, but you don't want a full session and you don't need all those extra photos. The mini-session is just as it sounds - a quickie! I'll meet you where you want and we'll just snap a few, I'll edit a few, and you get them ALL!

Bring props if you want {ie: band instrument, jerseys, hobbies, collections, school paraphernalia, etc} and be prepared to have fun being YOU!

Through Thick and Thin session

Price: $150 {up to 5 people, add $20 for each additional person}

  • 1-2 hour session with your {family} at the location of your choosing. Parks and back yards are always great locations for families.

What to wear: I love to capture your family AS IS. If the teenager doesn't usually wear a tie - I wouldn't recommend making him wear one for this session. No need to match, although some coordination in clothing and/or color does make for a more pulled together look in a photo. Be yourself, that's what I want to capture in my photographs.

The Glow session

Price: $100*

Includes:
  • 1 hour {Maternity} session** at the location of your choosing - {however keeping in mind that I prefer natural light settings, so if you do want your shoot to be indoors, please plan ahead for time of day and big open windows.}
  • 30-50 fully edited photos to view in an online gallery.
  • Prints available a la cart from a professional high quality photo lab so you can mix and match and order whatever package suits your needs.
  • CD available for purchase for $75 - includes all edited pictures, full resolution. Upload to a printing center of your choosing or take it in and have complete freedom with YOUR photos. I will provide a release form for you if you choose this option.
What to wear: This is completely up to you. I know first hand how hard it is to find clothes that fit in the last stretch of your pregnancy, so wear what's comfortable. If you are wanting pictures that show off your bare belly, I would avoid tight pants that might give you lines on your skin. I will provide a few cloths for bare shots. Stick with traditional poses or be artsy. Pregnant bellies are beautiful!



*Schedule this session when ordering the Watch Me Grow package and your maternity session will be $50!

*
*I would advise scheduling your session early in the 2nd trimester. The shoot will ideally take place when you are 31-36 weeks pregnant. This way, you are still showing off your beautiful round belly, but you are not so far along that you are too terribly uncomfortable and not able to maneuver and "pose".

This, and other awesome maternity shirts can be found at CarmelTurtle.com

Watch Me Grow session

Price: $300

Includes: 4 Sessions ($100 savings!), newborn, 3 months, 6 or 9 months, and 1 year*

  • Location of your choosing - however keeping in mind that I prefer natural light settings, if you do want your shoot to be indoors, please plan ahead for time of day and big open windows.
  • 1-2 hours of my time. I will not rush you. I have 2 kids of my own so I understand that babies require patience. Feel free to snuggle, nurse and comfort to your heart's content. Plan around nap times (unless you want your newborn sleeping, that's perfectly fine and lovely) so your child is as bright eyed and bushy tailed as possible.
  • 30-50 fully edited photos to view in an online gallery {with a link to share with family and friends}.

What to wear: With babies, less is more. Newborns sometimes look sweetest in just their bare skin, diaper optional. Avoid busy prints on clothing as it can distract from your child's natural sweetness. Bold colors are always fun, but for the most part, whatever you choose for them to wear will be perfect.
