SESSIONS
“Photography is a way of feeling, of touching, of loving. What you have caught on film is captured forever… It remembers little things, long after you have forgotten everything.”
Mini sessions are perfect if you're celebrating a milestone like a birthday, moving into a new home, or just want some quick updated family photos of your little ones.
If you're looking to create a family album, want to hop around our location for more background options and activities, or just cherish having a TON of pictures, full and adventure sessions are for you!
Sessions are generally scheduled on weekdays 1-2 hours before sunset or 1-2 hours after sunrise if done outdoors, so keep that in mind! I generally suggest at least 2 weeks ahead but no more than 6 months before.
When it comes to planning your outfits, pick a small color scheme of 3-4 colors or shades for small groups or couples, and up to 6 colors or shades for large groups. Include neutral/earthy colors like whites, browns, dark greens and blues - and if you want some color, choose bold colors that compliment like red and orange tones.
The day of your session, be sure to have everything planned and ready so that you feel relaxed when you arrive! Set out all clothing for each person in your session, including jewelry and shoes. Pack a touch-up hair and makeup kit, and bring water especially if it's hot out!
I always suggest getting to the location 10-15 minutes early to find parking, do any final touch ups, and make sure you're in the right place. And if you have young kids - bring a back-up outfit just in case!

neutrals are my fav, but pops of color in your outfits are great too!
