Years with your loved ones fly by, right before your very eyes! That’s why I adore creating fine art portraits and heirloom albums, all while giving my clients an unforgettable experience. I want you to stop in your tracks each time you walk by your family wall portraits, and I want to take your breath away as you (and the next generations) page through your storytelling albums. Because those people of yours - they are what really matters. If this sounds amazing to you, keep scrolling!

I am so glad you were able to get photos [at the abandoned railroad tracks] – those are some of my favourites."

THE VALUE OF A MOMENT

A MEMORY."
Princess sessions are a true treat for your little girl and even for you! More than a just a photo session, this delightful and confidence-boosting adventure will serve as a pivotal moment in her blossoming sense of self. I love to pamper your princess, dress her up in an elegant, poofy dress, and go out on an adventure to play together. I capture her personality and her princess nature and then add a bit of extra magic and sparkle. The portraits I create make for breath-taking wall art in her own room or in any room in your home. The whole family and friends will enjoy paging through her princess album, remembering her special princess session and treasuring that time in your girl’s life when she was still “little.”

You'll find that I'm more than just a photographer. I build relationships with my clients. That means you'll feel relaxed, carefree, and simply beautiful in front of the camera.
Why don’t we chat a bit and get to know each other? I'd love to talk about your dreams about a portrait session and heirloom fine art.
Before your session, you will have a complimentary design consultation. We will dream up your perfect session and plan how to treasure your artwork forever as I will walk you through my full product menu, wall art, and heirloom keepsakes.
During your session, I'll guide you on your fun and relaxing time. I LOVE capturing ALL the precious moments on camera - the REAL moments, the fun, smiles, silliness, and laughter, the serious moments of calmness, love, and beauty.
Around a week after your shoot is your Portrait Premiere! You'll enjoy refreshments while viewing your gorgeous images. You'll choose your favorite images to showcase in your home, your office, an heirloom album, and give as gifts.
An On Location Outdoor Session is $199. (Add $75 for a Deluxe Makeup Session.) You'll have an amazing, customized portrait adventure! Then, you get to see and show off your portraits in a Portrait Premiere. At the Portrait Premiere, prints and products are available in collections and a-la-carte. Most clients start with a collection, since that offers the best value. Collections start at $499 and prints start at $65 a la carte or $45 with a collection. Prints may be ordered a la carte as part of a $500 print and keepsakes order.
The creative fee is for my time and talent during the session. I even meet with you in a pre-session consultation to work my customization and planning magic! After the session, I offer prints, albums and other gorgeous keepsakes, which you choose and purchase separately.
Don't you worry! I'll help with wardrobe styling so we can figure out what would look best on (all of) you and in your adventure location, also making sure your future wall art with pair amazingly with your adventure location and home décor.
Absolutely! Some people find it more comfortable to bring a friend or a family member.
Makeovers can make all the difference! Not only is a little pampering fun, but a makeover brings out your best features and creates more of a flawless finish for stunning portraits! I offer a deluxe makeup session that includes a makeover by a professional beauty consultant and lets you take home your look (in products!)
Expect to have fun, play a little, relax a little…It’s a special time for you to enjoy! I have a knack for helping people of all ages feel at ease, and we will have already had time to get to know each other a bit while planning your personal experience.
All of my sessions are on-location, not in a studio. I love the fun and freedom that offers! If you don't have any wonderful places in mind, leave it to me and I will take you to locations that will look best with your taste, clothing, your style. Contact me, and we can go over specifics.
It all depends on the weather and location, but lighting makes all the difference! Around 2-3 hours before sunset is a good rule of thumb.
