…because you’ll only ever regret the pictures NOT taken… And you won’t fully understand how precious they are until they’re all you have left.
Babies with cute little ringlets, chunky little fingers, and arms that squeeze so tight and still only just barely make it around your neck… grow into fearlessly independent, but need you just as much kids. And those kids grow into “I’m too cool for you” teenagers who secretly still just want a tight squeeze.
And these pictures that make you cry when your baby isn’t a baby anymore and bring back all the beautiful details of each tender chapter, are the same pictures that will stand as a testament to your fierce, unconditional, forever, and always love to those same babies when you’re gone.
I take on a limited number of portrait sessions each month so I can give my whole heart, creativity, and attention to the families and individuals I work with—from the very first email to the final gallery delivery.
Rather than boxing you into preset packages, I keep things simple and flexible. Your session is booked with an hourly fee, and once your images are ready, you’ll have the freedom to choose the digitals and heirloom products that feel right for you, your family, and your home. You get to decide what best fits your story, your needs, and your budget.
THE SESSION FEE INCLUDES:
• Up to 60 minutes of session time on location.
• The creation of your artwork during and after the session.
• Travel anywhere in the phoenix metro area.
• Pre-session communication and planning
• Unlimited styling guidance via text.
• A private, online proofing gallery to select your final products
The Session fee DOES NOT include any digitals or prints.
When your gallery is ready, you’ll have the freedom to choose exactly what feels right for your family—from high-resolution digital downloads you can treasure and share, to heirloom products designed to display your memories beautifully in your home.
PACKAGES:
• 10 hand-edited, high-resolution digital images.
• 25 hand-edited, high-resolution digital images.

A natural, candid, lightly posed session capturing your family love story. Plan on lots of cuddling, playing, climbing, laughing and embracing the chaos.
