Whether you want to commemorate a special occasion (pregnancy, anniversary, or senior year) or simply document this season of your life, you will never regret investing in a photography session. It's the gift that keeps on giving, forever- every single time you look at your photos and relive those fleeting moments.
INVEST IN YOUR MEMORIESAll you have to do is fill out my contact form here, or reach out via email. Once we have discussed your vision, chosen a package and picked a date, it's time to make it official! YAY! You will receive an email from me that includes a contract and an invoice to hold your session date. You can sign and pay straight from your phone or computer!
As soon as you're officially booked, you will receive a welcome email. This email will contain EVERYTHING you need to know for your session- the best time of day, coordinating outfits, aesthetic locations, and so much more!
The day is finally here- RELAX. All you have to do is show up with lots of love, ready for a good time, and I got you on the rest!
Your final payment will be due at your session. Then, because I am SO excited to be capturing your memories, I will rush home and begin editing a "sneak peek" to share within 2-3 days of your session. A sneak peek is a handful of my favorite photos from your session to hold you over until your whole gallery is ready!
2-3 weeks after your session, you will receive your final online viewing gallery. This gallery will include all of the best images from your session, fully retouched in high resolution. You can download straight to your phone or computer and begin sharing and printing your photos! However, I suggest purchasing prints from me (directly in your gallery) to ensure quality.

When should I book?
Where are you located?
HELP. I am not photogenic at all.
What happens if our session gets rained out?
What if my kids don't cooperate?
Can we bring more than one outfit?
Can I print photos myself or buy prints from you?
As soon as possible! I am usually booked around 2-4 months in advance, but this varies. During busy season (July-October), my calendar is typically full several months beforehand, especially on weekend dates.
I'm located in Akron, Ohio. I travel up to 50 miles outside of Akron for no additional charge!
No worries, I've got you covered! My style is a mix of classic, posed portraits (I will tell you how to stand and what to do with your hands and faces) and real life, candids (that I often get by using fun games and prompts that result in genuine laughs and smiles, or just catching you in the moment)
I keep a number of backup dates open in each month in case of bad weather, and there is no fee to reschedule to a new date if there's inclement weather (rain, freezing temps, extremely overcast, etc.). Ohio weather is notoriously unpredictable and changes very quickly, so I typically wait to call off a session until that morning (or the evening before if you are scheduled for a morning session).
Don't stress about your children behaving like perfect angels; mine rarely do (and I have three). Don't worry if your daughter messed up her pigtails or your son got dirt on his jeans. My goal is to capture your personalities and everything that makes your family uniquely, you. Someday these quirks and imperfections will be absolutely endearing and the things you miss most when looking back at this time.
Absolutely! I recommend keeping it between 2-3 outfits though, as outfit changes cut into your session time.
Yes, & yes! In addition to your online gallery, you will receive a print release that gives you rights and permissions to print your photos. However, I recommend purchasing prints and products from me to ensure quality. I use a professional photo print lab that is exclusive to photographers. And it's so easy to purchase prints and products straight from your gallery!
