Schedule Your Session
Thank you considering scheduling a session with me. my books are full & currently closed.
Family Session
At home, or on location, this session caters for little ones or the whole family - with emphasis placed on creating strong, meaningful imagery that reflects who you are as a family. I would like to help you freeze those special real moments in an authentic & creative way, captured in an editorial style and professionally finished - your family’s unique visual story. With limited posing, I want you to be yourselves and feel free to play, have cuddles, laugh (or cry!) and enjoy your time together with me. I certainly don’t expect young kids to sit still so I will happily follow them around as they play and explore. I love to see their personalities so feel free to let them muck around a bit. This definitely helps them feel at ease with me and those shots are often some of the best! When a little gentle direction is required I’ll step in, so you can relax and be assured that as long as I’m shooting, you’re doing everything absolutely right!
Maternity Session
It takes an incredible amount of grace and strength to grow a baby and to feed a baby. A maternity session is meant to capture this precious fleeting time with a series of tasteful portraits between mother and child. Documentary style focused, these portraits may either be done when you are currently pregnant, or are feeding your little one. These photographs may either be taken in the comfort of your own home, or at a different location of your choice.
Newborn Session
A newborn session is perfect for those who would like a collection of timeless emotive images captured in a documentary storytelling style. Please make a tentative booking for your due date, and once your little one is born, together we will choose a date between 7-14 days following their arrival. Newborn sessions are done in the comfort of your home or outdoors and on location depending on weather, and take between 1 to 2.5 hours to allow for feeding and settling. If indoors I ask that you choose a room with ample daylight, for example one with a large window. I will provide a few prop options and swaddles, but these will only be used at your request. I will ask for some posing and it's important that you and your baby feel comfortable. In the years to come you will love looking back on these precious and fleeting moments in your sweet baby's life.
Couple/Engagement Session
Outside and on location this session is all about creating meaningful imagery that reflects who you are as a couple. Captured in an editorial style and professionally finished, this is your unique visual love story and I wish to tell it in its most purest form. With some posing, ultimately I want you to be yourselves. Feel free to laugh and enjoy your time together with me. When direction is required I’ll step in, but be assured that as long as I’m shooting, you’re doing everything right!
Frequently Asked Questions
Where will our shoot take place? - I am based in Philadelphia, PA but I am willing to travel to surrounding areas. I primarily shoot outdoors but for newborn and maternity sessions I will come to your home and utilize natural light. If you are unsure of a specific location I will give suggestions on a place that will work best for you so your personalities will shine!
How long will our session be? - I don't set time limits on my sessions. It's more about capturing the right moments than watching a clock. Typically, family and couple sessions will take between one and two hours and newborn sessions will be between two and three.
What should we wear? - My advice is to choose simple, timeless clothing with no logos, loud patterns or bright colors. Neutrals and muted colors are best and you should try and avoid large areas of black or white. It's important you feel comfortable too, so choose clothing that makes you feel good and you'll be able to relax in. If you'd like further help with this, please don't hesitate to ask. It makes a huge difference to your images and is worth getting right!
When to book a session - My recommendation is that you book your session well in advance to avoid disappointment, especially if you have a particular date in mind. Certain sessions will require more notice than others. Please see above for more information about the session you are interested in booking, and click the package guide buttons.
How much should I expect to spend? - Sessions begin anywhere from $350-$400. Each session includes pre-planning, the session itself, a fully edited gallery of the best photos from your session, and digital downloads of all high resolution photos in your gallery.
What if it rains or the weather is unsuitable? - Unfortunately this does happen, especially during the winter and spring seasons. If the weather prohibits us from having a session on your chosen date I will make every effort to reschedule your session with you.
When will I receive my photo gallery? - Turnaround time is typically two weeks.
