Take a look around to see what type of session is the best fit - then, when you're ready, let's talk!
After photographing hundreds of portrait sessions over the past few years, I’ve found that starting with a conversation is the best way to begin this process. I want to hear everything— all about your kids, how you're adjusting as a new mom, what are your after high school plans, funny first date stories, or how you got engaged.
We’ll get to know one another, talk about the details of your expectations, answer any questions you might have about working with me and figure out if we’re the best fit for each other.
Once your date is reserved, we'll connect to start chatting about possible locations for your session. We generally recommend choosing one location. There are so many wonderful locations that I love to use, depending on the season, time of day, weather, etc... So, if you're not sure about where you would like to take your photos but you have a general idea of the look you would like, just let us know because we would be happy to recommend a few locations based on your aesthetic!
I also have a studio in Fisher perfect for newborns, toddlers, small and large families, and more!
If picking out outfits for photos takes you back to your high school days when you literally tried on everything in your closet and piled it on your bed but still felt like you had nothing to wear, you're in luck.
I've put together an extensive outfit suggestion guide with tips for every member of the family (even Fido!)
Moms - to be, new and seasoned - can take advantage of my complimentary client closet satisfying a wide range of styles, sizes and colors.
On the day of your session, we'll connect to make sure the weather still looks like it's going to corporate. We'll exchange numbers and finalize our meeting location. Please plan for your session to take up to an hour to 2 hours from start to finish, depending on what type of session we're doing.
All images from our sessions are typically delivered within about three to four weeks of the shoot date (depending on the time of year) via an online gallery. This gallery will allow you to share your favorites with family, order prints and even download images to share on social media.
I am proud to offer clients a variety of ways to turn their images into keepsakes. Your images printed on wood, canvases to decorate your home, beautiful handmade albums and more.
Each product come with a lifetime guarantee on all products so you never have to worry about the quality of your investments fading over time! What a special way to remember this season you’re in!
WHAT TO EXPECT –
Pre-session style consultation by phone or zoom, wardrobe styling + access to client wardrobe for moms, baby girls and boys, can be held at my studio or outdoor location.
Digital files are always included - prints, and products are purchased separately, unless noted in your package.
joyfully yours,
I am so excited that you are interested in choosing me to document your family! I believe in real moments and creating timeless photos that remind you of the joy that can be found in the simplest of moments together.
I started out 12 years ago capturing cherished moments when my kiddos were little and sharing them. Soon others were asking me to do the same for their families.
Because of the limited number of images on each roll, photographing with film forces me to slow down and really observe the beauty in the world, and the people around me, making each click of the shutter count. Whenever I pick up my camera, I strive to create beautiful and emotional images that tell a story and showcase the beauty of both the people in the images and the world around them.

WHAT TO EXPECT –
My favorite locations have plenty of tall green grass, wildflowers in the spring and summer, tall lush trees for open shade, and breaks from the wind when needed.
rural locations
Downtown locations in Champaign, Urbana and surrounding communities provide a wide variety of modern backdrops for families, seniors and couples. Urban locations also allow us to start your session earlier in day if needed and usually provide cover from too much wind.
urban inspiration
location inspiration
My studio located in Fisher, IL is the perfect setting no matter what the weather brings. The neutral white setting allows your family or little one to become the main focus and creates a timeless backdrop for your treasured photos.

If you're looking for a little more outfit inspiration, I recommend checking out my "what to wear guide for family sessions."
see my wardrobe for littles
With the growth of online shops, shopping for your littles is more fun than ever! We recommend choosing color families (neutrals, blues, etc) over perfectly matching outfits. I have several options available for newborn to 12 years.
When picking outfits I recommend keeping in mind the word “complement” rather than “match.” For example, if Dad is wearing a blue and pink pastel plaid shirt, Mom may want to choose a long, soft blue dress. It can also be a great idea to choose “color-families,” such as pastels or jewel tones.
check out my client closet
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!
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.
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.
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.
