How the experience works

Schedule a call

The best way to discuss your vision and find out if we’re a good fit is to jump on a quick 15 minute phone call. If everything sounds good, we can schedule your session and start the fun part! A session fee of $300 and a little (online) paperwork is all that’s required to reserve your spot.

Relax and enjoy your session

Once you’re booked, we can get started on all the fun things like prepping wardrobes and getting to know your family a little more. Don’t worry, I’ve got you covered on all that and will send you everything you need so you’re completely carefree on the day of.

Choose your art & digital images

Within a few weeks after your session, I’ll deliver your fully-edited proofs via an online gallery. At this point, you’ll have the opportunity to choose your collection that includes both digital files and artwork credit to use on artwork for your home. Collections start at $800.
