Parents, here’s what you can expect:
Once you reach out, I’m happy to connect with you by phone or Zoom for a quick discovery call! During our chat, we’ll explore your photo vision, do some light wardrobe planning, and discuss how you’d like to use your images. Plus, before your session, you’re also welcome to stop by the studio to try on wardrobe options that I have exclusively available to you for your session.

Mom, if you’d like to include makeup and hair services, it’s the perfect way to treat yourself and feel extra confident in front of the camera! My talented hair and makeup artist will come to the studio or your home before your session begins. Then, during your session, we’ll create the most dreamy, heartfelt photos—all with your vision in mind. And don’t worry, I’ll even make sure to get your husband smiling too!

After I’ve lovingly hand-edited your images, we’ll schedule your viewing and ordering appointment—whether over Zoom, at the studio, or even in your home! This special moment is when you’ll see all your photos for the very first time and choose your digital images, albums, and/or frames. Bringing your beautiful memories into your home truly takes your photography experience to the next level!
