The earlier, the better! To secure your family or newborn session, I suggest reaching out to me at least 2-3 months before your preferred session date. If you're eyeing a Fall session, keep an eye out for sign-up opportunities in my email newsletter starting in August! I'll be there every step of the way, helping you decide if I'm the perfect photographer for your needs!

I strive for authenticity in my photography, centered entirely around you. When you gaze upon your photos, my aim is for you to sense that I've truly captured your essence. My goal is to furnish you with memories that will carry you back to this moment for a lifetime. While I'll always prioritize timeless "everyone smiling at the camera" shots, a glance at my portfolio reveals my passion for seizing genuine, candid family moments—those instances of pure joy and affection within your family circle.

I absolutely love this question! The most crucial thing you can do is simply RELAX, establish a POSITIVE atmosphere, and have TRUST in me. Now, I understand that's easier said than done, but hear me out. As parents, you actually set the tone for how our session unfolds. If there's pressure, stress, attempts to coerce smiles, it's likely that you won't be satisfied with the outcome of your photos. When you discipline for lack of smiles, penalize for fidgeting, or resort to bribes for better behavior, you inadvertently drain the magic from the moment. Everyone ends up frustrated and disheartened, which makes it challenging to rediscover that authentic joy. Rest assured, as a mother of two, I have a plethora of tricks to foster a sense of fun, connection, and genuine joy. I've got your back and can take charge of the session so you can relax and enjoy the experience.
