My goal for your session is for you to have fun!
I want you to laugh, dance, and strike your best pose during your photoshoot. I want you to be free to be your true self! I want to avoid the awkward feeling behind getting your photo taken. I know being in front of a camera can cause you to freeze and say cheese, but let’s not do that! Let's capture some fun candid shots instead!
If the kids don't like to sit around, let's play tag! I will most likely sing super badly and tell potty jokes to try to make everyone have a natural smile. Of course, we will aim to capture the traditional smile and look at the camera, but most of all, let's aim to have fun! I want to capture you as you are.
The experiences I offer includes:
- Individual: for teens and up, such as senior portraits, birthday photos, or just for fun!
- Couple: to capture their engagement, anniversary, their first pregnancy announcement, first maternity, or just to capture your love.
- Motherhood: these are so special! Mom is always the one behind the camera capturing the little ones running around. In a motherhood session we focus on mom and kids only.
- Family: this is where dad can tag along. We capture the whole family together, mom with kids, dad with kids, just the kids, and just mom and dad. We also capture individual photos of everyone. If mom is expecting another baby and want to have family photos, this is for you too!
- Extended Family: Let’s include the whole family! Extended family photos are a great way to capture how much the family has grown! This includes group shots, such as the whole family, mom with kids, dad with kids, all the adults, all the kids, grandparents with kids, only grandparents, etc.!
I personally love - LOVE - love black and white images, I always add a few images in black and white to your gallery!

What does the session fee include?
Your session fee includes any pre-session consolation, on-location time during your photoshoot, the amount of digital images included in your packages (with the option to purchase more images if available), and print release.
The images are edited in high resolution digital format.
Do I need to send a deposit to secure my session?
Yes, this will go toward your session fee. The retainer fee is due at the time of booking to secure your appointment. The retainer fee is not refundable. This fee is due within 24 hours of your consultation if you decide to book.
I will send you a booking link with the information to pay the retainer fee and sign an agreement to secure your photo session with me.
Please note, your session is not booked until the retainer fee has been paid and agreement has been signed.
If you need additional time to pay and sign, please let me know!
When will we get our photos?
Your will receive an online proof gallery within two weeks (maximum 4 weeks, sometimes less depending on the season and my workload). After you select your proofs, please allow 7-14 days for a new link to a private gallery to download your images and share with family and friends.
If you need your photos sooner I have an expedited fee of $250 which also skips the proof process and you get all images from your session fully edited within a two weeks.
Where are you based and do you travel?
I'm Nashville based and yes, I love to travel! If you want me to photograph your story, it will require a travel fee if the location is outside my 20 mile radius. But no worries, I always try to find the most affordable way to come to you because I love capturing special and unique moments!
Do you offer payment plans?
Yes, I do!
Hiring a professional photographer to capture your memories is an investment worth making. I want to make sure you don’t miss the opportunity to have those special memories.
I would be more than happy to make a payment plan that works best for you to make sure we don't miss the opportunity to capture those beautiful memories.
Can I bring my pets?
OF COURSE! I just ask you bring someone to help take care of your pets when it's time to do photos without them ;)
Do you capture events?
Sadly, I don't capture events.
Do you offer newborn sessions?
Sadly, I do not offer posed newborn photography. I offer family sessions with your newborn baby, more lifestyle. If this is something you would like, I can help! If not, I would be happy to recommend some amazing newborn photographers!
Do you offer studio session?
No, sorry. It is not my style of photography.
If you want indoors we can do in-home or rent someplace nice! I prefer capturing more lifestyle and casual photos ;)
