OUR PROCESS

01. CONNECT
Contact me here when you're ready to book or have more questions. I have everything laid out for each of my sessions with what's included and what to expect from the pricing to the number of images included with each session.

02. PLAN
Once you're ready to book, you'll pay the $50 retainer fee to hold your spot and you'll sign a contract & fill out a questionnaire to fully customize your session. We'll start planning right away from the location to the outfits & I'll help you find all the perfect pieces that will coordinate with both each other and the location.

03. SHOOT
We'll take advantage of the beautiful golden hour where the fun begins! I have lots of experience (14+ years) in coaching you to bring out your individual personalities and relationships. This is my favorite part...capturing your story!

04. RECEIVE
All the images are carefully curated and edited to perfection. They're then uploaded to a private online gallery where you can download, order, print, and share your images as you'd like.
