what to expect, pricing

Photography is my passion and gives me a lot of joy. I enjoy capturing these fleeting moments--while enjoying your family and my family as well. The images I capture are priceless and I enjoy seeing your joy with your family at each stage and age.

Your photos are precious. My time as a Mom of young children is limited and fleeting as well so please allow two weeks for your images to arrive. As a wife to a doctorate student I know the value of your family's budget and tried to ensure you are getting the best quality photography for a competitive price.

3 months--this is the perfect time to get the little details of your little one. . . their little feet, their smile, their hands and their bellies. The love to smile and coo--just at you!

6 months--this is the moment of individuality. They are starting to figure out their bodies and are sitting and rolling. This is a fun time to capture these movements and milestones.

1 year--from the cake to maybe even walking this is a unique and priceless moment in your child's life. They are full of independance and life.

These sessions are similar to senior sessions where we want to portray you in your most "natural" you while looking professional and polished. It is best to wear clothing to portray that. Dress the same as you do for business on a daily basis. . . with a little more "style" to allow your client to see who you are! Please be ready with a change of clothing if what you are wearing doesn't work well.
