WHAT TO EXPECT

IN GENERAL

For any and all sessions, you should expect that I’m not afraid of props and accessories.  I’m also not afraid to move you or your kids around, and I’ll tell you to move your chin if it makes your face look more flattering.  My goal is make you look your best.  My job is tell you when your hair is out of place, if your glasses are tilted, or your sweater needs a tug.  Approximate amount of time is listed on the Investment Page by session, but expect to spend some extra time with me. I never want a session to end, I always want "just one more," and I just don't ever want to limit myself to a set time frame when we really are working together to capture memories to last a life time.  

DO YOU HAVE KIDS?

Me too.  I’m a mom first, so don’t worry.  Kids will be kids.  Don’t be surprised if catch a photo of your toddler crying and actually look like I’m enjoying it.  I will be.  After all, they’re not mine.  I’m not shy, so if they have boogies or their hair is out of place, I’ll be directing you to do “clean-up” and “primping”.  I’ll ask you to move your child around, stand behind me and make silly faces, and catch ‘em if they run off.  Yep!  You get to be a wrangling assistant for the day.  The more you help, the more I can shoot.  Have a kid who’s moody, can’t focus, or is so shy they’ll hide?  Me too.  I’ve got one of each.  We’ll make it work! 

ARE YOU LOOKING FOR A SENIOR SESSION?

Want pictures that are appropriate for the mantel at the grandparents and still honor their maturity while keeping it pure?  I have my preferences as a mom and photographer, but I want you to capture your child before they venture off to the next chapter in their lives the way you want them captured.  And, we’ll let them have a say too. 

ARE YOU A STAR IN THE MAKING?

Do you dance, sing, act, or model?  Or perhaps you want to?  Looking for updated head shots or photos for your portfolio or composite cards?  I get it.  You need a close-up, perhaps a black and white, a full-body shot, and you need to showcase your star quality.  I’ll help you bring out the best in you.

DON"T BE SHY!

Haven’t taken a photo since you were at DMV?  Need a photo for your Etsy Shop or other small business?  A photo for your FB Profile, LinkedIn Account, or perhaps a dating profile?  Don’t be shy.  No matter what your age, I’m a firm believer in having at least one good photo of yourself taken every darn year.
