From the time that you place your order and make your payment in full, it can take anywhere between 2 and 6 weeks for your order to be delivered to you depending on the heirloom collection and/or artwork that you choose. Please allow for an extra cushion around holidays.

Most sessions last about one hour; however, I don't rush though your session since creativity and children can't be pushed. Newborn sessions can take 2+ hours.
*The Simplicity Session is a 30 minute mini-session.

Make sure you and your little ones are fed and well rested before your photo session. I understand that families are busy; however, it is useful to not have things scheduled on the day of your session and even the night before.
Tired and over-stimulated children appear that way in their photographs. On the day of your session appointment, it is best to only bring the persons being photographed to prevent distractions. Kids can really pick up on our stress levels, so it's important to relax and have fun!

Clothing is an important part of creating a beautiful image and of highlighting the emotion between you and your loves.   My style is natural and organic, and meant to capture the connections that you have with one another.  Subtle colors such as pastels, whites, creams, grays and other neutrals unify the look of your family, helping to bring the emphasis on the emotion and not the clothes.  Signature Session and Motherhood Collective clients , receive the benefit of borrowing from my specially curated studio wardrobe of high-end dresses and gowns and baby and children's clothes.   Babies are most beautiful showing off their pure and perfect skin, especially newborns, by dressing them in organic cottons and natural fabrics.  Bare feet are always cute and natural for everyone.   
Visit our Pinterest inspiration board for more ideas and look out for the How to Prepare for Your Session Guide in your welcome package sent to you after your session is reserved.

No digital files are  included with the Signature Session or the Motherhood Collective.

The Motherhood Collective is the best way to ensure that you do not miss any of the milestone moments of your child's first year.  Three or Four full sessions are included (see The Signature Session) over the course of 18 months.  You choose when the sessions will take place.  Many mothers choose the following sessions: 1. Maternity 2. Newborn 3. Sitter/Crawler (6-9 mos) 4. One-Year Birthday.  However, you can choose to use the sessions however you wish!
