"a good life is a collection of happy memories"
I'm a photographer so I *should* know better, but most of my own family photos just end up on a hard drive somewhere collecting dust. Maybe they've made it all the way to social media, but that's where they stay. I'm busy. I'm a mom, a photographer, and a million other things. It's so dang hard to add one more thing to my list, and I'm sure you feel the same way. So, this is where my process as a photographer is a bit different than what you may have experienced in the past.
When you book with me you will pay a non-refundable session fee and sign a contract. The week of your session you will pay for the smallest collection, so once your photos are ready and you've watched your beautiful slideshow with all of your images, all you have to do is decide if you want to upgrade your collection! All of that can be done directly through your gallery making it easy peasy! Collections include both digital files and a substantial artwork credit to use in my online store for your family keepsakes.
Capturing every moment from your engagement to maternity, newborn to milestone sessions, and everything in between and beyond.
A collection of professionally captured photos to supplement the cell phone shots
An Annual shoot that will capture you & your kids at every stage of life
Professional beautifully edited photos of your family
...when you can have
Only having random iphone shots to look back on later on
The same family photos hanging on your walls for 5+ years
Mediocre photoshoots where posing is awkward and quality is less than amazing
Why settle for...
You'll receive a link to your slideshow which includes all of your edited photos and is set to fun music. From there you get to choose which of my three collections you'd like to purchase. All collections include digital files and artwork credit. Might I suggest something beautiful to hang on your wall?!
The Viewing Party!
This is probably the hardest part. The wait. You're so excited because we just had an amazing photo session and all you want to do is see the photos. I get that and so I guarantee your photos back within 3 weeks. In that time you can start getting excited for what you're going to order with your artwork credit!
Time to Wait
The time arrives and it's your photo session day! We'll meet at our location and have some fun! Don't worry if your little one causes chaos at the drop of the hat, I've got this. You should be allowed to have a good time, too, so leave the worrying up to me (if you can).
The photo experience
First things first, we'll set up a consultation call to make sure we're the right fit for each other. Then to book all you'll need to do is sign your contract and pay your session fee, all of which can be done right from your phone!

"Emily did my 1 year old sons spring pictures and is absolutely wonderful! She is so good with toddlers, has so much positive energy and makes everyone comfortable! I was so impressed with her pictures, I had a hard time picking out my favorite ones because there were so many! We will definitely be having her do all our photos in the future! I can’t recommend her enough!"

*PLEASE NOTE*
Because both the fall and holiday seasons are so busy for me, any session booked after September 1st for the current year will have an higher session fee due to demand. Full Session Fees will go up to $400 and Petite Session Fees will go up to $325.
Book your fall and holiday sessions before September 1st to get the lower session fee.

"I have loved working with Emily! I don’t consider myself a picture person and I was very hesitant to have pictures taken of myself. But, I was expecting my first child after a very long journey, and decided I needed to at least try. Emily went above and beyond to help me get pictures where I felt amazing and looked great.
