2025 Sessions

The Details

Studio session booking is open for family sessions year around. Outdoor or on-location sessions are available May-October weather permitting. 

Each family will have the opportunity to reschedule due to inclement weather or illness. Full family sessions have the opportunity to reschedule if the weather is not optimal such as: it’s too hot, too cold, too windy or you were hoping to catch the golden hour of sunset, but Mother Nature had other ideas.

Sessions are typically 1.5 – 2 hours. Being a professional, I can make any time-of-day work, but I try to avoid the high sun of summer which causes the least flattering light. 

Turnaround time for your gallery is ‘officially’ 2 weeks, but I make every attempt to get them back sooner! 

Sessions begin at $275
