Timeless portrait photography for families, Milestones & couples

Sessions take place in my Fisher studio or at one of my favorite outdoor locations, each chosen for beautiful light and natural backdrops.

With a pace tailored to your family, these sessions are never rushed — giving plenty of room for authentic moments, natural connection, and a mix of both posed and candid portraits. Your investment includes the full session experience along with your complete collection of hand-edited images, delivered in a private online gallery with full printing rights.

At 2.5 x 3 inches, these petite albums hold up to 10 images and make thoughtful keepsakes for grandparents or perfect brag books to slip into your bag.

The sooner the better! Weekends tend to fill up pretty quickly - especially during the spring and fall, so the sooner you reach out, the more likely you are to get your desired date!  

To reserve your date, we'll need a contract as well as a retainer. And if something comes up and you need to change your date, just let us know! 

HOW FAR IN ADVANCE SHOULD WE BOOK?

Unless you've modeled professionally, you're probably going to feel awkward in front of the camera. Heck, I take photos for a living and even feel like a deer in the headlights when I'm in front of the camera. 

You're going to feel awkward at first, but as the session goes on and I coach you through images, you'll find that being photographed can actually be fun. And don't worry about your kids. I'm well versed in capturing even the busiest of little ones. 

We're Awkward and my kids don't sit still.

No one wants to look like a wet dog in their photos so if it looks like it's going to rain, snow, hail or some other weather catastrophe, we'll be in touch via email or phone to reschedule - usually 2-3 hours before you're scheduled session time.
.
Often, when we're scheduling your initial portrait session date, if it works for our calendars, we'll actually set up both a main date and a rain date just to make sure we don't have to postpone your session for very long if the weather is bad on the original date. 

WHAT IF IT RAINS?

Within a few weeks of your session, you'll receive a link to a digital gallery that will allow you to download high resolution images. 

The gallery is also set up to make ordering prints, canvases and other keepsakes as easy as turning on a Roomba to clean your floors. No worrying about tricky things like color correction, DPI and image format. 

How will we receive our photos?

Absolutely. Well‑behaved pets are welcome—just make sure to keep them on a leash.  Most of my outdoor locations require pets to be leashed (but don't worry, we can take it off for a few pictures if you trust your pet not to run away.  Also it is a good idea to bring a dedicated handler so we can give your furry family member breaks while we capture the rest of your portraits.

Can we include our family pet?
