find your package
Below you will find information on the different packages I offer, what is included and the sessions fees. All session fees include time spent researching, photographing and editing your session, my growing collection of outfits and props, and a beautiful set of both B&W and color digital files with personal print release. There is no requirement to purchase anything additional after your session.
Please note that all of the sessions done with outfits and props provided by the studio, are in a variety of neutral colors only.
Your date is not secured on my calendar until you pay the deposit fee and the fee is non refundable. The remaining balance of your session fee is due at the time of your session. (Payment plans are available for Bundle Maternity+Newborn and Bundle Baby's first year).
Outdoor sessions can be done within 20 miles of my studio in Frederick, MD or $1 per mile over that will be applied. A list of beautiful places is provided after our session is booked to help you choose the location and they're usually done at sunset.
Maternity sessions are usually booked around 34-37 weeks along.
Please feel free to send me an e-mail at anytime with any further questions and I'll be super happy to help.

FAQ
When should I book newborn session?
Newborn sessions are best done between the first 5-10 days of life while baby is still very sleepy, super curly and of course to ensure we
capture this newness that is the newborn stage (which doesn’t last very long). You can book your newborn session as soon as you have a due date. I only take on a certain amount of bookings per month, so booking early is ideal to avoid disappointment.
What should we wear to our session?
I have a style guide once you are booked in which covers what to wear, bring and what to expect. I do have a small client wardrobe of dresses for people who would like to wear one. But neutral colors are always my go to.
What happens during our session?
We will meet at our destination or walk there together and shoot around the area. I give plenty of cues and prompts, so you’re never left wondering what to do. But the real magic happens when you let those moments unfurl; I will capture the moments between the moments. My shoot style is posed/prompted but I leave you to play around within that. I will let you know once we have a full set of images and we can pack up!
What times are available?
If it's outdoors, I typically shoot at sunrise or sunset, the best time for light! This will depend on the time of year. Soft and magical is what we go for. The first hour starting from just prior to the sunrise, and the last hour of the day before sunset. Sessions in my studio usually start around 10:30am and no later than 3pm. If you have a specific request please feel free to email me to discuss.
What if my kids don't cooperate?
I will never expect kids to behave during the sessions, kids will always be kids! I want to reassure you not to worry about asking them to behave, smile, loot at the camera. I will always give you family enough direction and prompts to make you enjoy the moment as a family, and I will be there to capture the sweetest moments you'll ever see. I love kids jumping, running, laughing and making silly faces. That's what we aim for!
