Where will your session take place?
I like to give you the freedom to choose the location that feels right for your session. If you have a preferred spot in mind, just let me know when booking.
For locations that are 30 miles outside of my home base, there will be a mileage fee. This fee is $0.75 per mile.
I’ll calculate an additional fee for travel and provide it to you so you can decide whether you’d like to proceed.
If you’re unsure about the location, no worries! I’ll be happy to select one for you based on your preferences and the vibe you’re looking for. I have some vetted locations that I prefer to use all listed in a Location Guide that I provide to every client as well.
Studio 512
My studio is designed with warm, earthy tones and cozy textures to create a relaxed, inviting atmosphere. Think neutral colors, rattan furniture, macrame accents, pampas grass, vintage doilies, quilts, and all the boho vibes.
This setup is perfect for family sessions, newborns, and milestone moments, offering a soft and timeless backdrop. For those wanting something more minimal or bold, I also offer a clean white wall and floor setup, as well as six seamless backdrop colors to fully customize your session to your style.
What to Wear
Styling Assistance
Client Closet
Every full and Newborn session booked with me includes access to my perfectly curated client closet. It is not mandatory to utilize my client closet, but it is heavily encouraged. I have collected many pieces that compliment my style of shooting. Feel free to utilize as many pieces for as many members of your session as you’d like.
I also offer my styling assistance to each and every client. Styling assistance is included in every session booked with me. In my client closet I offer pieces for women size XS-XXL, girls size newborn-7, and boys size newborn-5T. I do not currently offer any mens pieces. The closet includes some jewelry if desired as well.
My client closet was created for many reasons:
To take the stress out of planning what to wear for your session.
To save my clients money by not having to purchase a new wardrobe you might only wear for the session.
To elevate your session.
To make everyone feel beautiful and elevate my clients experience throughout the session.
Timing
This period, one hour before sunset, is often referred to as "golden hour." It’s the ideal time for outdoor sessions with me, as the soft, warm light creates beautiful and flattering photos.
Most of my outdoor sessions are scheduled within this one-hour window before sunset. Keep in mind that the exact timing of golden hour varies depending on the time of year.
Golden Hour
For families with little ones, I understand that the timing of spring and summer sessions often coincides with your child’s usual bedtime routine. I encourage you to keep this in mind when planning your day, so your little ones are well-rested and ready for a fun, relaxed session.
While it’s certainly possible to schedule a session at other times of the day, we aim to avoid direct, harsh sunlight to ensure the best lighting for your photos. This is why golden hour is such a popular choice—its soft, warm light creates a stunning effect, plus it gives us the opportunity to capture beautiful sunset shots.
**My preferred time for studio sessions is from 9AM-12PM.
