It starts with a quick, no-pressure conversation. I have found that the most important step to great family photos is to establish a relationship. You are not just a number to me. I am fully invested in telling YOUR unique story and the only way to do that is to get to know you and your family. I also don’t want to waste your time. A conversation will quickly let us know if we’re a good fit for one another.

If you are phone-call averse I’m also happy to do this step through email ;)

I’m available for sessions on Fridays and Saturdays throughout the year. Here’s what you need to consider when scheduling yours:

● Spring and fall are the busiest times of year for outdoor family photos in Ohio. If you'd like a session during one of those times (ESPECIALLY if you want a weekend spot), please get in touch as soon as possible!

● If you have a particular date or holiday by which you need prints or gifts (Mother's Day, Father's Day, Hanukkah, Christmas, etc.), be sure to book a date at least six weeks in advance of that date to ensure sufficient processing and printing time.

● Babies and young children are almost universally at their very best first thing in the morning, which just happens to also be a great time of day for beautiful light. If your kids are really little, we’ll want to schedule as close to sunrise as possible for outdoor photos, or mid-morning (between 9-11am depending on time of year) for in home photos.

● If you’re not morning people, the other time of day that gives us great light for outdoor sessions is 1-2 hours before sunset.

I’ll work with you prior to the session to come up with a plan that feels natural, stress-free, fun and most importantly: true to you and your family.

You’ll get a session guide that will walk you through how to prepare, what to expect, and tips for keeping kiddos (and dads) happy. I also offer one-on-one wardrobe advice for those who need, and access to my inspiration boards for everything from outfits to creating wall art out of your images.

I also offer flexible payment plans upon request.

I’ll work with you during an in-depth pre-session consultation to come up with ideas that feel natural, stress-free, fun, creative and most importantly: true to your family.

So, what’s a session with me like? Child and baby-led, relaxed and fun. I strive to capture both gently posed images as well as authentic, candid moments shared by your family. Most importantly, I encourage you to just be yourselves and enjoy the company, so you can look back on your experience with tears of JOY (not anguish and frustration).

You’ll receive an email from me letting you know your gallery is ready 3-4 weeks after your session, where you can download your full gallery to keep forever. You’ll also have access to my online store full of prints, albums, frames and other beautiful options for showcasing your images.

There is no commitment to purchase prints through me, however I highly recommend that you do as I have taken the time to choose high quality items that will last a lifetime. I’ve found through personal experience that all prints are not created equal. Shutterfly and Walgreens prints will NOT do your images justice, and most of the labs I work with are small family-run businesses that thrive off of our support.
