Embark on a journey of timeless moments with my Signature Photo Sessions, crafted for families seeking lifestyle portraits. From capturing newborn sweetness to celebratory cake smashes and on-location magic, these sessions offer flexibility without a strict time limit. Elevate your experience with a versatile studio wardrobe, providing dresses for moms, shirts for dads, and charming outfits for children under 5—available even beyond the studio setting. Explore three distinct collections, each offering a blend of digital files and complimentary print credit, ensuring your family's unique story is beautifully preserved.

Step 1: Scheduling your Session

Step 2: The Session Itself

A few days before our session is scheduled, I'll reach out to confirm our time and location... at that point, if the forecast is questionable or someone seems to be coming down with the flu, we can talk about our rescheduling options. Otherwise, that's the perfect time to ask any last minute questions or let me know if you've come up with a fun idea we haven't discussed.  

My photo sessions have no time limit but we are typically done within 45-60 minutes or so.  Because there is no time limit if there's some kind of wardrobe malfunction or child meltdown, I like to stay flexible. Finally, take a breath and relax... I promise to give the grown-ups (and kids) breaks throughout the session as needed, and to make it as painless as possible for everyone involved. If it would ease tensions to crack open a beer before I arrive - or better yet, serve mimosas with breakfast - well then I say go for it!

I want everyone to have fun and enjoy their time together.  I'm just along for the ride documenting and capturing beautiful photos for you to enjoy for generations to come.  This is fun!

Step 3: The Fun Part!

All sessions include use of studio wardrobe.  Each collection includes some digital files and some complimentary print credit.  The creative fee is due upon scheduling your session and is non-refundable.  The creative fee includes the time and talent of photographer to capture your family's beautiful images. Print credit is good toward your choice of anything in the gallery store: prints, frames, albums, additional digital files, etc. Please note that there is a $25 per person charge for extended family (grandparents, nannies, aunts, uncles, etc).  If doing a large extended family session; there is no additional charge for children (under 18).

"Ohhhh Michele!!! This slideshow was an absolute tear jerker. These pictures are AMAZING! You captured the most precious images that my heart sees of little Johnny . These will be cherished forever. You are exceptional at your job! Thank you so much!!" - Caitlin M.

What you're going to do with your images is perhaps the most important aspect to consider when you're planning for a photo session, but it's all too often the aspect that's overlooked... all that time and money invested deserve a better return than photos gathering dust on a hard drive somewhere. You'll never get the same feeling looking at your photos on a screen as you will seeing them on your wall or flipping through the pages of an album, so I include a substantial print credit with every collection. Below is a sample of some of the items you can choose among:

Of course there is much more available in the store and directly through me.  I am happy to send you a product catalog that lists ALL the things available from holiday cards to prints & canvases.  There are options for every budget.
