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.

1. Pre-session consultation

You can feel confident coming to your session because we’ve got a great plan that’s all yours. Your session can take place on location or in my studio.

My 1200 square foot studio is dedicated to your experience. I use top of the line studio lighting and have numerous simple props and set designs so we can create images that makes your heart smile. The studio offers several sitting areas for parents to relax, a changing table, a dressing area, and light snacks. My goal is to make you as comfortable as possible during your session.



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? We offer custom framing so you can pick up your fully finished artwork and hang it on the wall for everyone to see (and rave about). And, if you need help with installation, just ask. We can refer you to someone who can help install your artwork, so you can enjoy it every day. We’re your go-to from start to finish. Let’s make it easy, and get it done beautifully.
