My mission to be your expert guide starts from the very first phone call. In your free, no-obligation phone consultation, we'll cover the overall expectations for your dream session and the potential investment to bring it to life. All sessions are customized for the individual client, and total investment is influenced by many factors that are difficult to predict without a conversation. Your phone call is always welcomed, and we are happy to talk with you whether you decide to book your session with us, or to explore other options. You are never wasting our time, so if you are interested but wondering if we fit in your budget, please don't hesitate to call.

Yes, we can do your Maternity session in an outdoor location. Some of our gowns may only be available for studio sessions, so we'll be sure you have all the styling guidance necessary to ensure everyone looks their best.

Newborn sessions are always completed in the studio for safety and comfort.

The In-Home Style and Design Consultation is truly the secret to success at our studio. With something as important as near once-in-a-lifetime portraits, building rapport and ensuring we're on the same page is essential. If a spouse, partner, or children will participate in the session, this is a chance for us all to become familiar to each other so your family isn't meeting me face to face for the first time at your portrait session.

This appointment is how I begin provide you with all the expert guidance you need to have a stress-free session. I've found that even clients with a clear vision of what they want to wear benefit from the guidance I provide. Whether you have no idea what to choose, or you have pieces picked out before I arrive, reviewing your choices with me means you can be confident for photo day. Seeing your wardrobe in person also allows me to prepare the studio and session flow to best achieve your portrait goals.

You'll have a chance to see the beautiful ways in which you can enjoy your portraits. We'll cover the design of any wall art you may be considering. Pre-designing wall art options ensures we capture all the right images during the session, and eliminates the questions about which size or style fits best. You can be confident that your final wall art choices are perfectly at home in your home without any overwhelming DIY projects.

Finally, I'll provide you with a deeper insight about investment based on your potential designs before we conclude.

Rest assured that I have seen all manners of homes and closets! From show-ready to absolutely lived-in (that's how I describe my own home!), it's a judgement free zone. Whether you have a perfectly organized closet, or it's more on the messy side, I'm always discreet. My only goal is to ensure the outcome of your session is everything you want it to be. Most of my clients feel very relieved knowing we've collaboratively curated everything needed, and there is little to nothing added to their to-do list.

If you are truly uncomfortable bringing me into your closets, you can pull potential wardrobe choices ahead of time. Still uneasy? Let me know your concerns so we can find an alternative.
