Our goal is to provide our clients with beautiful portraits created in a comfortable, relaxed atmosphere. We conduct your session at your choice of location. This may be indoors, such as your home, or an outdoor location, such as a local park. The location you choose should be a place where you are comfortable so together we can create the best images possible.

Photo sessions typically last between 1 to 3 hours. If more session time is needed it can be booked in 1 hour increments. We understand that sometimes it takes a little time to get that perfect image, and we don’t want to rush that process. We also know that little ones like to work on their own schedule so we strive to let them be comfortable with the excitement of having their pictures taken. If there are important items that you would like to have included in the portrait such as a special blanket or toy, please have them ready and prepared prior to the session.

We place no restrictions on clothing changes for the session. You are allowed as many outfits as you would like that fits in the duration of the session. We do recommend you select your clothing carefully. Clothing should be of neutral colors and have a timeless feel to them. You should avoid logos and loud bright colors as these do not photograph well and will draw attention away from the subject.

Your portraits will be ready for viewing approximately one to two weeks following your session. We select the best 8-10 images and will present them in your online gallery. These images will have been completely photofinished. You are free to share your gallery with friends and family while it is online. The online gallery will remain available for 90 days. You will receive these finished images as 4x5 proof prints as part of your session. You also receive these images as digital files on a CD that also includes a PDF slideshow presentation and your Personal Use License.
