Full session - 350.*
The full session pricing includes a pre-session consultation, digital downloads of your fully edited images (45-60), and full print rights.
Miniature session - 250.*
The mini-session pricing includes digital downloads of your fully edited images (15-20), and full print rights.
*NOTE: If you'd like to order prints, I do offer them through a professional print lab (I highly recommend professional prints if you intend to display your photos...the colors and tones are beautiful and as accurate to the original edit as possible), but I intentionally don't require that you purchase prints or items in addition to a "sitting" or "session" fee in order to gain access to your photos. I'm not a fan of multiple or confusing charges, and I'd like for you to be able to print your photos wherever you'd like! If you're interested in purchasing professional prints following your session, just let me know and we can talk details!

Frequently Asked Questions
WHEN SHOULD WE BOOK?
I recommend booking as soon as you know what season/general time you'd prefer. I only take a limited amount of sessions per year so that I can spend quality time with each client in order to make each session as perfect as possible. Booking your session early increases the likelihood that you will receive the date you prefer.
WE WANT TO BOOK! WHAT’S NEXT?
Yay! I can't wait to meet you! To reserve your date, a non-refundable deposit and signed contract must be sent to me (I'll e-mail the form to you). The deposit for the mini-session is 50 and the deposit for the full session is 100. No date is held until I have received both the deposit and the contract. I only book one full session per evening so that I can invest plenty of time in each client. Last-minute cancellations keep me from being available to people who would like that date. The deposit and contract simply protect my (and your) time. Obvious obstacles such as illness or bad weather aren't a problem and I'd be happy to reschedule you.
WHAT IF I DON'T KNOW WHAT KIND OF SESSION I WANT?
I can help! The mini-session is great for quick family portraits or for seniors who only want a few pictures without multiple locations or outfits. I would highly recommend the full session for engagements, bridal portraits, anniversaries, etc. This allows a for a full range of light, scenery change, and gives you time to become completely comfortable in front of the camera. As for location and content, I'd be happy to help you plan your session if you're not sure what you'd like to to do/what to wear/where you'd like to be!
WHAT TIME DO SESSIONS BEGIN?
Since I am a natural light photographer, my favorite time to shoot outdoors is during golden hour, which is right before the sun sets. Typically we’ll start a session about ninety minutes before sunset, dependent upon how long your session is. If you prefer to shoot indoors, the best time to shoot is when the light in your designated room(s) is as close to bright daylight outside as possible (usually midmorning, dependent on what side of the house the session is located).
DO WE GET THE DIGITAL FILES?
Yes, all of the edited digital files are included in each package.
HOW MANY IMAGES WILL WE RECEIVE?
It all depends on which package you choose: you will receive 15-20 for the mini session and 45-60 for the full session.
DO YOU OFFER PRINTS OF OUR IMAGES?
I intentionally don't include prints in my session packages so that you have the option to have your images printed wherever your prefer! I think it's silly when photographers charge you for your session and then charge you more to receive your pictures. You will receive your digital files with the cost of your session and, if you'd like to have them professionally printed, I would be happy to provide that service as well (plus the cost of the actual prints). I use a professional print lab (they do a phenomenal job) and can provide you with a cost estimate before ordering your prints and having them shipped directly to your home.
DO YOU PHOTOGRAPH NEWBORNS OR REGULAR WEDDINGS?
Nope. (But I do have a few local photographers I can recommend!) I love babies but I focus on individual, couple, family and small business work (and the occasional elopement for the very special couple).
DO YOU PHOTOGRAPH WEDDINGS?
Yes and no. I don't photograph formal weddings (I do have a list of wedding photographers whom I can personally and highly recommend), but I do photograph elopements (think: small outdoor wedding with only a few friends/family members). I prefer intimate sessions and would be beyond thrilled to photograph your elopement and/or bridal/next-day/engagement/boudoir/family/etc. portraits, but I am unfortunately not available for regular full day wedding coverage.
WHEN WILL WE RECEIVE OUR IMAGES?
After your portrait session, you will receive your images in two to five weeks (sometimes sooner, depending on the season).
