Your session

What happens from the first message to the finished gallery.

How it works

  1. Get in touch

    Send me a message with who’s coming and what you have in mind. I usually write back within a day.

  2. Plan it

    We pick a date and a location, and I send you a guide to help decide what everyone’s wearing.

  3. Photo day

    I tell you where to stand and how to move, and leave plenty of room for the kids to be kids.

  4. Your gallery

    You get a few previews within a couple of days, and the full gallery in about three weeks.

  • Help with planning and a what-to-wear guide
  • Gowns and dresses you can borrow (sample)
  • Help picking a location, or time in the studio
  • Posing help for every age, babies to great-grandparents
  • Editing that keeps your skin tone true
  • An online gallery to download, share and order prints

Bringing grandma? Good.

For big family sessions I plan around the oldest and youngest people there. Chairs and shade for grandparents, snack and nap breaks for the little ones, and no standing around for an hour.

Questions

What should we wear?

You’ll get a style guide after you book, and Full Session clients can borrow from my closet. Pick two or three colors that go together. Nobody needs to match.

How do I book?

Pick a date on the booking page, sign the contract and pay the retainer through Pixieset. I never take card details on this website.

When should I do maternity photos?

Somewhere around 28 to 34 weeks works for most moms. You’re showing, and you can still move around comfortably.

Can grandparents come?

Please bring them. For extended family sessions I plan seated shots, shade and breaks so it’s easy on everyone.

How long until we get our photos?

Previews within 72 hours and the full gallery in about three weeks. (Sample timeline.)
