How It Works
INQUIRE
Click the button below to head over to my booking calendar to get the ball rolling. Since babies come in their own due time we’ll book a placeholder session using your estimated due date and connect after baby is born to finalize the actual day and time of your session.
Plan
In the weeks leading up to your session, I’ll send my client-only style guide and location menu to help you plan your session. Or schedule your pre-session consultation (if applicable) and I’ll guide you every step of the way. I encourage you to plan all the details before it get too close to your due date so it’s one less thing you have to stress about.
Create
Time to let go, have fun, soak up all the cuddles, and focus on being present in the moment. Magical memories and priceless images will naturally follow.
Select
10 business days after your session you will receive a link to your proofing gallery. Review the proofs and select your favorite images to add to your final gallery. Need more images? Add them a la carte or upgrade to the next package.
Deliver
No more than 4 weeks after you make your selections, your gallery will be updated with your finished images. I recommend viewing them for the first time as a family to relive the memory and feel the love. Enjoy!
