“I work hard to create an experience that is simple and easy for you, and to produce beautiful, timeless images that you will undoubtedly be proud to display in your home.”
Schedule your no obligation consultation. The consultation is a chance for us to get to know each other, which is a huge part of a successful session. We will talk about your vision for the session and answer any questions you may have. We will go over products offered, how you want to display your portraits, and pricing. If this is your first visit, we can tour the studio. After the consultation, I will email you our session and product guide, a review of what we went over at your consultation. You are under no obligation to book a session during or after our visit.
You decided to book! The next step is to reserve your session day and time. A non-refundable retainer and your signed contract are both required to reserve your date and time. Session balanced is preferred one week before scheduled session. I am currently scheduling sessions Tuesday through Saturday. Saturday sessions fill quickly, so be sure to contact me for availability.
Reminder! Sign your portrait agreement and model release. Please note you are not place on the schedule until your retainer has been paid and contract have been signed and received.
Session Day! All the preplanning is done! Arrive at our studio (or locations) on your session date ready for a fun, relaxing portrait experience!
After your session is complete, we will schedule your in-person reveal and ordering appointment. Typically this takes place 2-3 weeks after your session. We schedule an hour time slot. Make sure to go back and look through your booklet to check which collections or products you are interested in purchasing.
Reveal and Ordering Appointment Day. This is the fun part! Arrive for your scheduled order appointment. We will go through your images together and narrow them down to your favorites. Once narrowed down, we will design something beautiful for your home. Choose a folio, album, a gallery wall, or a simple display, we will create the perfect artwork for your home. Make sure all decision making parties are present. You will be placing your order and paying for you portraits and artwork at this session.
Once you have viewed your images and selected which ones you want to display as artwork, I will start to retouch your images. Once retouched I will place your artwork order. Depending on what artwork you ordered this process can take 2 to 6 weeks. (Albums, books and folios can take up to 16 weeks.)
When your artwork arrives, I will do a thorough quality control check on them, and then contact you to schedule a pick up appointment.
Arrange a pick up time. This is the best part!!! Enjoy your portraits and artwork for years to come. Many families visit us from year to year to update their artwork as their family changes and grows. I love seeing you and your changing family!

I prefer email, because I like to keep a tangible record of everything that we discuss about your session. I usually respond to emailed questions later in the evening after dinner and when my family has settled in for the evening (usually late in the evening and not convenient time for phone conversations).
