PROCESS INFO

INVESTMENT INFO

Throughout the process, i will be your designer and expert guiding you every step of the way

here's how!

A little bit of time together upfront will save time overall and make everything stress-free. What is the personality of your family? Where do you want to hang your artwork? What will you wear? When we’re on the same page, we can give you an amazing session experience. We’ll meet with you to discuss every aspect of your session. Consider us your personal stylist for your session.

We do this in your home so it's easy and convenient.

1. Pre-session consultation

Our sessions start with professional makeup artistry.  You will feel confident coming to your session because you're gorgeous and we’ve got a great plan that’s all yours.

Your session can take place on location or in my studio. During our pre-session we will make an amazing plan so that your outfits and backgrounds work with the vibe and aesthetic that you're looking for.  And we'll make sure we get the right images for your walls and album.
Most importantly,  our time together is fun and makes you feel amazing.

2. personalized session experience

You love your family. Show them how much you love them by decorating your home with your favorite images. I’ll guide you through the ordering process by showing you exactly how images and groupings will look in your home. We can also tell your story in folios and albums. We will work with you so that we create artwork that enhances your home’s decor and personal style. Digital images are nice to have, but printed artwork has the power to bring joy to your heart.

3. guided image selection

Too many errands to run? All of our artwork is ready to hang, frames included. We will even help with the installation! We’re your go-to from start to finish. Let’s make it easy, and get it done beautifully.

investment

Creative session fees are due when you schedule your session.

Custom session start at $690, which include a $500  product credit.

Some people use their credit to purchase two images and love those images forever, while other will invest several thousand dollars for a variety of images, wall art, gift prints, and albums. 

We'd love to hear about how we can create your dream images and can give you a better idea of what you might invest.
