How To Book

Welcome!! I’m so glad you’re here. Here is a little direction on how best to book with me:
FAMILY, SENIOR, MATERNITY  AND OTHER PORTRAIT SESSIONS:
After you decided what type of session you want to book, view my Book Now calendar and choose a date that works for you.  I will confirm your date and time; then we will choose a location together.  Be sure to check out my FAQs for styling tips and more, along with My Closet if you want to borrower a dress for your session.  Let me know if you need help with styling, this brings your images to the next level!  I will bring a neutral blanket, and maybe a chair, to your session for you to sit on.
NEWBORNS:
I recommend that you book your newborn session 60 days in advance of your due date. If you didn’t, no worries, we can still make it work.  Ideally, our goal is to capture their sweetness when they are 5-15 days old.  I work full time outside of photography, so I typically schedule newborn for weekends, in late morning to mid-day.  However, I can occasionally accommodate other days.
  1. Booking in Advance of your Due Date:  When you are ready to book, complete my Newborn Session Questionnaire and I will reserve you a “placeholder” session around your due date.  When baby arrives, notify me and we will choose a date that works for both of us.
  2. Booking after baby arrives:  If baby is already here and you want to book, contact me to see if I have availability.  If so, I’ll have you complete my questionnaire and we’ll get you scheduled!
In all cases, I have everything we need for you newborn session. I have a large supply of wraps, bonnets, headbands, and baskets. If I host your session, I hold them in my dining room using natural light. We can also hold the session in your home with good window light. Outdoor lifestyle sessions without baby props should be scheduled using my Portrait Session Calendar.
