Your Session

Sessions are done on location. This can be at a local park, your home, or any other favorite spot you may have. Session times will totally depend on each individual sitting but typically last 1-2 hours. Babies may need to be nursed and changed or a little one may need to grab a snack. Breaks are a wonderful thing…they work miracles!

Clothing: Keep it simple…jeans, khakis, solid colored shirts. We want our focus to be on the child and not the logo shirts. Simple dresses for girls are always sweet and jeans with a solid shirt work well with boys. This is your session and I’m open for any other fun ideas you may also have. I love little hats and overall shots too! Make sure for group portraits colors coordinate.

Maternity sessions: The best time to take your maternity portraits is about 4-5 weeks before you are due. Your tummy will look so beautiful at this point but you won’t feel too uncomfortable yet. These portraits can be done alone or with your other children and husband too!

Newborn sessions: I love to take newborn portraits as soon as they come home from the hospital. This way they sleep most of the time and we can pose their little parts the way we want them. Make sure to take off socks at least an hour before our session so we don’t see the lines on their soft skin.

Children sessions: Let’s find a location where their true spirit will shine. We’ll discuss a place where they will feel most comfortable.

Choosing the right portrait has never been easier. Your proofs will be displayed online as a slide show for you to view in the comfort of your own home. Relax and take time to decide which photos truly tug at your heart strings. Slide shows will be available for one week and then removed. Place your order within the first week and receive 10% off your order.
