LET'S CREATE SOMETHING TIMELESS TOGETHER. IF YOU'RE READY TO MOVE FORWARD, I'D LOVE TO HEAR FROM YOU.
RESERVING A DATE
A non-refundable date retainer is required. ($800 for a wedding, $100 for a session). The remainder is due a month before your wedding date or the day of your regular session.
LOCATION AND TIME OF SESSIONS
Outdoor sessions generally take place at sunset or occasionally sunrise for best lighting. It is often later than toddler/babies bed times in the summer so be prepared to adjust nap schedules on your session day. For outdoor sessions, I decide on a location a few days prior to your session, generally a field location, in or near Clarkston or even downtown Clarkston is always an option as well. Studio sessions take place weekday mornings in my Clarkston, MI studio.
WILL YOU HELP WITH WEDDING DAY TIMELINE?
Absolutely. I work with you (and your planner, if you have one) to build a customized timeline that fits your priorities, lighting and the flow of your day- so you can relax knowing every moment is covered.
HOW MANY PHOTOS WILL WE RECEIVE?
Every gallery is unique, but weddings typically include 600-1000 edited images depending on your coverage. A regular session typically includes 50-80. I never limit moments- if its meaningful, its delivered.
DO YOU TRAVEL FOR WEDDINGS?
Yes, I'm available for travel! Travel fees vary based on distance. I have a bucketlist of places I'd love to photograph that would be discounted, so definitely inquire!!
WE'RE AWKWARD IN PHOTOS. WILL YOU HELP US POSE?
Absolutely. I guide you with natural movement and prompts instead of stiff poses. The goal is to capture emotion and connection, the real smiles not the forced ones.
FOR NEWBORN, WHEN SHOULD WE SCHEDULE?
Newborn sessions I generally recommend 3-4 months before the due date to ensure your spot. I only take so many newborn sessions a month. I book them on the "1st" of the month that you are due just to hold a date and then once babe arrives you let me know and we get you in within 14 days of babes arrival.
DO YOU HAVE WRAPS AND OUTFITS FOR STUDIO SESSIONS?
Yes. My studio includes a selection of wraps, blankets, headbands and simple pieces that match the style and space. I have a client closet with dresses for mom as well!! Can be used for newborn or maternity sessions as well.
HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO RECEIVE THE GALLERY?
Weddings: 4-8 weeks
Newborn + Family: 1-2 weeks
