Capturing the Real You

The Experience

Lifestyle sessions outdoors or in the comfort of your home.

What makes your family unique? Maybe your family loves gathering in the kitchen and baking cookies or hiking with your little ones is more your speed. I am up for the adventure!

How it Works

How it Works

Step 01

Getting comfortable

I love to get to know your family in the booking process. The more I know the easier it is to capture those moments. After booking, I will send out a client guide to help choose outfits for your session and I'm always available to help when needed. We will also nail down what exactly you are looking for from your session so we can make sure to capture any special moments requested.

Step 02

Being your beautiful selves

I will meet you either on location or at your home and get started. My goal is to capture the real you and your family. I love to get those authentic moments of emotion each family has. I will pose you as needed but will give lots of prompts to capture those emotions. We like to have fun so tickles, laughter and play are always best.

Step 03

Editing your photos

After your session, I will upload all your images and start working on them. I like to post a sneak peek on the Facebook page about 1-2 days after the session so you can share something if you want. It can take between 2-3 weeks for the entire gallery to be completed.

Step 04

Choosing memories to treasure

Once the gallery is completed I will upload watermarked images for you to either choose your selected package from and download the final images from. You will be able to purchase single digital images, prints, and artwork for your home from here.

FAQ

Here are the most frequently asked questions.
If there’s anything else you’d like to know, please Reach Out

  • What do you do about rescheduling?
    I will happily reschedule for weather or sickness reasons. I'm a mom of four so I get it! Life happens and if you need to reschedule please reach out as soon as possible. No shows (not letting me know) will result in losing your retainer and a new one will be needed to book another spot.
  • What is your turn around time?
    Turn around time is 3 weeks generally but I try to get the galleries out as soon as possible. I always post a sneak peek over on the facebook page/instagram. I edit the full galleries before sending them out so you can see the finished product and pick out your favorites immediately.
  • Do you travel?
    I do! I do cover a good amount of space surrounding Owensboro, KY but I am willing to travel if you have a preffered spot to go to. Travel fees will apply depending on the distance. Feel free to reach out for a quote!
  • What do I need to bring with me?
    Nothing! Whether we are meeting on location outdoors or in your home. You only need to have what you want included if you have any sentimenal items to include. For newborn sessions, I have plenty of wraps and props and for my maternity clients I do offer a client closet if you choose.
  • What is baby is not happy?
    Not to worry! I am used to littles of all ages. For babies, we take our time. Give lots of milk and snuggles and wrap them up if they would like. We are on their schedule, not ours. Plus these are the moments I love to get of your family interacting.
  • What happens to my pictures after I download them?
    I will guaruntee to keep a copy of your gallery for up to 1 year after your session should anything happen to your copy. Just reach out and let me know if you need your photos sent to you again. I can not guaruntee past a year but should it be needed, I don't mind taking a look.
  • What do I wear?
    This is always the most important question I hear after booking. I do offer a client closet for my maternity mamas to choose from but I always assist with wardrobe selection after booking. I can help style you and your family to get the portraits of your dreams whether that be super fancy or laid back. Each family and session is unique and I love to get the real you.
  • Can I show you my ideas?
    Yes! I welcome any images or poses that caught your eye. As a creative though, I do have my specific style and ideas. Its something we can discuss and incorporate if it works out!
  • When should I book?
    As soon as possible! I only take on a limited amount of sessions a month so each client gets the best expierence and i can devote the time needed.
  • Do you offer bundles?
    Yes I do! I do offer pricing for maternity and newborn bundled up. Reach out for a quote depending on what you would like.
  • I'm pregnant and want a maternity session but...?
    Girl, I got you! The best time to book your maternity session for is between 30-34 weeks. I find the sweet spot to be right around 32 weeks so you have a full belly bump but you are not at the completely uncomfortable stage that is the third trimester. This allows me time to get you in, or allow time for reschedules due to weather.
  • Do you have a studio?
    I do not at the moment but it is in the plan. Stay tuned!
  • How much does your session cost?
    For Newborns: Newborns are constantly changing and you only have a short window to get in those little details as a new baby. Making sure you choose a photographer who you know and trust (also insured and trained) who can bring your ideas to life. Make sure to review my gallery to see previous newborn sessions to see what you can expect. Sessions include 12 digital images from a gallery of at least 30 to choose from for $355. Additional digital images are $35 each or you can buy the gallery upgrade for $199. If you are like me and know you will already want the whole gallery you can pre-purchase the session for $515. Payment plans are always available and flexible. Military and First Responder discounts available. Family/Maternity: These chapters are soo very important and I love documenting every moment. Not only am I licensed and insured, but I have spent years honing my style and craft. Feel free to check out my galleries so you can see what you can expect from your session. Sessions include 12 digital images from a gallery of at least 30 to choose from for $255. Additional digital images are $35 each or you can buy the gallery upgrade for $199. If you are like me and know you will already want the whole gallery you can pre-purchase the session for $415. Payment plans are always available and flexible. Military and First Responder discounts available.
  • How long is the session?
    You can count on about 1 hour for maternity/family sessions and about 1.5-2 hours for newborns. I will not rush you and we may be done sooner depending on your family.
  • Location, location, location...?
    As most of us know, location matters. Whether you prefer to head out on an adventure in the great outdoors or you prefer to keep it at home, I am prepared for either session. I love documenting you where you feel the most comfortable. I do have a few spots here locally in Owensboro but if you have a spot you would prefer just let me know and we can make it work! *if you choose a location that requires an entrance fee, you would be responsible for the fee*
