General Info
Booking a session:
If you are interested in booking a session it is important to schedule as soon as possible. Sessions are to be paid in full to secure your date.
Newborn sessions should be scheduled prior to baby's arrival. It is important to book in advance so that we can leave a little room for sudden surprises. Newborns are best photographed within the first 14 days of life. I am more comfortable with them between 6-11 days new.
Where will we take your pictures you ask? I love making each session as unique as possible that is why I will work with you to come up with something that fits you or your family’s lifestyle. I am a on location photographer so I shoot outdoors with natural light. I have a variety of different locations that I like to shoot at, so we should have plenty to choose from. I am also up for any suggestions and ideas you may have.
Newborn sessions take place at my home studio. Cake smash sessions and Create Your Own Fairytale Sessions are done at any location.
Any location within 5 miles of Discovery Park in Pleasant Grove has no travel fee. If a location is farther, there is a $2/mile charge.
What to wear:
This is my favorite and most important part to your sessions. I believe that it is very important to plan out what you will be wearing. It makes a huge difference in your photos when you have a well-put together wardrobe. I like to suggest coordinating colors rather than matching. Texture, layers and accessories all add great character to an image. (Jackets, scarves, hats, leggings, jewelry, etc.)
I love lots of color and think it photographs well. I know that picking out clothes for a session can be very overwhelming so I have put together a board on Pinterest called What To Wear Guide. Go check it out:

Or if you prefer having subtle character themed outfits (which is SO me!), I've created this board of ideas.

Scheduling a time:
I love evening sessions with the golden light. About 2 hours prior to sunset is the perfect time to schedule depending on the location.
Newborn sessions are scheduled on Saturday and Sunday mornings or afternoons. This is when I have the best light in my studio. If you prefer a lifestyle session in your home, these are also scheduled during the day when there is good lighting.
What to expect after your session:
Once we have completed your session, I will edit your session and deliver your proofs in an online gallery. I am a specialty editor, which means I customize my editing style to fit my client's preferences. Within 72 hours after the session, I will send you 5 or more styles to choose from. Once you have chosen your style, there is a maximum 2 week turnaround time for all sessions. You will receive your high resolution digital images via download from your gallery. Depending on the package, digital images may or may not be included with your session.
Sample Digital Pricelist and Financing:
The listed session fee is non-refundable and is required to secure your session. Session retainers must be paid within 48 hours to retain your session date. Session fees and details are subject to change at anytime - and are locked in at the time of booking your session. Editing will not begin until a contract is signed.
