YES. Please don’t spend the drive here worrying about your hands.

Our time together will be a mix of candid moments and prompted posing. I’ll give you direction and things to do—otherwise we’d all just be standing around picking our noses. You get to show up and be yourselves. I’ll help with the rest.

We try to work through:

• The whole family

• Mom and Dad together

• Siblings together

• Each kiddo on their own

• Mom and Dad with all the kids, together and separately

• Mom and Dad together with each kiddo

• Mom with each kiddo

• Dad with each kiddo

This is entirely dependent on cooperation, especially from the kiddos. Every combination isn’t guaranteed. Have one that really matters to you? Tell me so we can make it a priority.

A little prep goes a long way! Before we meet, tell your kiddos what to expect: we’ll take some photos, I’ll give them things to do, and there will be time to interact and be themselves. Keep it upbeat rather than making it sound like a test they need to pass.

And there is absolutely no guilt in offering a little incentive for good behavior. If the promise of a treat or something fun afterward helps your crew, go for it!

I have some tried-and-true ways to encourage natural interactions, so let me help. Please don’t scold or shame your kiddos during the session—it tends to make things harder, not better. Take a breath, stay playful, and give me a chance to work with them.

We’ll work with what they give us! Our time together is a mix of candid moments and prompted photos, and every combination depends on cooperation. You don’t need perfectly behaved kiddos to make memories with your family.

Start with something you feel good in—and can actually move in. Our time together is about connecting, not standing frozen in clothes nobody wants to wear.

Think coordinating rather than everyone wearing the exact same thing, and keep the location, season, and weather in mind. Stuck between outfits? Send me a note and we can talk it through!

We’ll figure that out together! Travel within approximately 30 minutes each way of Greenfield is included. Have somewhere farther away in mind? Let’s chat—additional travel or location fees may apply.

Evening sessions start about 90 minutes before sunset, but mornings are often better for kiddos! If an early session works better for your crew, let’s chat—we have some flexibility with those early-morning start times.

I also love early mornings in the summer. Getting everyone up and out the door at sunrise takes a little effort, but beating the heat? Worth it. We can get your photos done before everyone is hot, sweaty, and over it.

The whole enchilada! A 2027 portrait sesh is $475 + tax and includes 45 minutes, 30+ edited digital images, and up to 6 immediate-family members. You can download all of the final images in your gallery.

Family, maternity, milestones, or you and your person. Same price on weekdays and weekends.

Planning ahead? Use EARLY2027 when you book by December 31, 2026, for $50 off a session through 2027 Bookings. Extended-family add-ons are extra. Newborn sessions, milestone packages, and minis are excluded.

Absolutely—bring the crew! Choose one extended-family add-on when booking: +$100 for up to 12 people, or +$200 for 13–18 people, plus tax.

The add-on applies when grandparents or multiple households join, even if there are 6 or fewer people. You’ll receive 30+ edited images.

Extended-family sessions include an extra 15 minutes of wiggle room, giving us up to an hour together. We’ll try to work through these combinations depending on group size and everyone’s cooperation. Let me know your must-have photos ahead of time so we can prioritize them!

• The whole group

• Grandparents with all their adult children

• Each adult child with their parents

• Grandparents together

• Grandparents with all the grandkiddos

• Grandparents with each household and/or that household’s kiddos

• All the grandkiddos together

• Each immediate family

• Mom and Dad together within each family

• Each family’s siblings together

• Each parent with all their kiddos

• Each grandkid individually

Newborn + Family — $600 + tax
Up to 2 hours for newborn posing and photos with parents and/or siblings, with 30+ edited digital images. Parents, siblings, or both—you don’t need older kiddos to choose this one! Weekday sessions take place in the studio or your home.

Newborn Mini — $450 + tax
Up to 45 minutes focused on your newborn only, with 10+ edited digital images. These are weekday studio sessions.

Both include all of the final images in your gallery. Reach out and we’ll plan your newborn session together.

Yes! All that growing deserves photos.

3 Milestones — $1,450 + tax: Newborn + Family, a 6-month session, and a first-birthday session.

4 Milestones — $1,700 + tax: All three above, plus a mini maternity session.

Either package saves you $100 compared with booking separately. Each shoot happens on its own date, and we’ll arrange those together.

For family, maternity, milestone, or couples sessions, grab a spot through 2027 Bookings. A $237.50 retainer reserves our time together, and the remaining balance—including add-ons and tax—is due on your session date.

For newborn sessions and milestone packages, send me a note so we can coordinate dates. Those options are paid in full when you book.

Leave the weather worrying to me! After 20+ years of dodging storms and predicting rain and wind, I’ve got this part covered. Honestly, I should be an honorary meteorologist by now.

If the forecast is iffy, we generally make a game-time decision within about two hours of your session’s start time. That way, we can actually SEE what the skies are doing instead of letting a little rain icon run the show.

If I’m concerned, I’ll reach out ahead of time to touch base. You focus on getting your crew ready—I’ll keep an eye on the skies.

Your photos will be ready within two weeks of our time together—often sooner! If anything delays delivery, I’ll keep you updated.

You’ll receive your edited digital images in an online gallery, where you can download all of the final photos included with your session.

Need photos for a particular date? Let me know before booking so we can talk about timing.
