What's my style?
Your life tells a story.
I take photos to document it.
but like, really pretty.
Most of my sessions revolve around storytelling. I want you to think about what makes this season of your life unique.
What are your rhythms? What are the quirky things your kids do? Who do you love to spend time with? Are there traditions you have or places you love to go?
I want to incorporate a part of your story into your photo session.
LIFESTYLE = Life + Style
I photograph your life and make it art.

STEP 01
contact & secure a date
Go to my "Contact" tab and fill out the questions giving me information about the WHO (family, senior, kids, couple) and the WHAT (looking for pretty photos or is there a specific event to document?) and the WHEN (a specific date, or a month, or even a season you are wanting to book). After we chat, if we have an agreed upon date, then I will send a booking link by email to pay the deposit and secure your booking date. Then let the planning begin!
STEP 02
plan the session
I send a detailed questionnaire to make sure I understand the vision you are going for. This is where I find out if you want ME to use the information you give to create the vision for the session, if you want to do that together, or if you have ideas already. We plan the location(s), activities, and any styling. I make a rough outline of the session (think a framework vs a rigid schedule - it gives everyone an idea of what to expect).
STEP 03
Picture time
I'll have the plan, you show up! I will guide, direct and find the best spots for lighting and artistic composition. I will also be hands off at times, letting you just relax and have fun. It will be the most laid back photo session of your life!
STEP 04
Delivering photos & album
Delivery of images/book is 3 weeks from your session date. I'll email you the gallery link and password - you can download the images (no limit) and send the link to friends and family if you'd like. I will either hand deliver your custom book with your session images or mail it if that makes more sense.

FAQ
Where do we go? What do we do? Help!
Need inspo? My goal is to keep sharing ideas on my Instagram, but also below on this page there are location ideas. Once I get to know a little about you, I help pick a few locations and we make a very loose plan for our time. It's documentary, but I'm also wanting to create art. I might nudge you towards an area with great light, or guide activities if you aren't sure what to do.
What do we wear ?
Anything you want. Choose your own adventure aka vibe of your session. Athleisure, pj's, perfectly curated styled outfits. Or all of the above (we make the rules...you're allowed to change). Once we decide your location(s) and general activities, we can brainstorm about outfits that match the vision.
Will there be any posed photos included?
Actually YES. It will be 90% documentary style, but I can't miss the opportunity to go ahead and get some great posed photos while you are out having fun. You can have the best of both worlds - the family photo worth framing with the beautiful light AND the candid photos (that you'll want to frame too) that tell the story of your season.
TELL ME ABOUT THE BOOK!
You get a beautiful hardcover book that you don't even have to do the work to create! It has a linen cover (you get to choose the color), and a timeless feel that will go great on a coffee table. Heirloom quality - it includes your favorite photos from the session.
