The first step is easy - just say hello! You've looked through my portfolio and feel like we're a good fit. Reach out and tell me a little more about what you're looking for in your session. This is the perfect time to ask any questions about your session.
1. Say Hello
2. Book your Session
I've answered all your questions and it's time to make it official! Once we've agreed to your session date and time, you'll receive an email with your contract and session details. Once you sign your contract and pay your retainer, your session goes on my calendar and your date is reserved. The balance of your session will be due on your session date.
3. ask me Anything
It's time for your consultation. No need to take time off or try to schedule a sitter, we can finish your consultation with just a few emails. Your questionnaire will be our starting point in designing your session. From there we'll decide on your backdrops and wardrobe. I can suggest outfits to fit your session. For a Dream Dress session, you can use anything from my client closet, or I can put you in touch with rental companies if you need a specific look or size. Some people love planning their session, and some just want to leave it to me. Whatever your preference, you can be involved as little or as much as you want!
4. Your session!
Your session day is here! The most important thing is to relax and have fun! Taking pictures of your own little ones can be a challenge, which is why I work with you to make sure the session is enjoyable for them and easy for you. I know how to bring out the best in your children, allowing them to be themselves while capturing beautiful images that you’ll never forget. I understand that children can be unpredictable, and I do my best to make them feel comfortable so they will enjoy the experience. I always take my time to get your dream images, while also making sure your kids are having a blast! When you come to the studio, all your selected backdrops will be up and ready. All sessions take place in my beautiful, climate controlled Prescott studio and last about 45 minutes to an hour.

Approximately three weeks after your session, you'll receive an email letting you know your images are ready. Exciting! You'll be able to view and download your images from your own private online gallery. Feel free to share your gallery with family and friends near or far. You'll also be able to add any wall art or prints at this time. Your walls are your canvas, and you can turn your images into beautiful works of art that you will treasure for years to come.
