Mini shoots are 15 minute time slots at a location chosen by me! Pricing varies slightly depending on location, but are around $250 per time slot. I deliver ~25 high resolution edited photos per mini session. They are great for families with small children, holiday card photos, or photos for families who do not want to invest in a full photography session.

I usually do a few days of mini sessions in the fall and again in the spring, and they book up very fast. I announce them on Instagram, or you can add your email here to get a mini shoot announcement when I open my books!

I do some skin smoothing and will edit out anything that would be thought of as temporary — such as a blemish, acne or bruise. If you are self conscious about a part of your body in particular, feel free to let me know and I will keep it in mind while posing you!

You’re not alone in feeling this way! Do your best (and I will remind you) to stay in the moment, and your authentic self will come through in the photos. All of the photos on my website are of real people—it is my job to create a safe space for you to feel comfortable being yourself.

Overcast weather can be the best lighting for photos and appears to “glow,” and other inclement weather can create a really unique backdrop — if the weather is bad enough where it would be dangerous, could ruin my equipment, or is just really not what you want, we will reschedule!

Something you feel comfortable and confident in. Avoid busy patterns, and colors too close to your skin tone. Bright red and orange can also reflect onto your face and make your cheeks look rosy. When choosing your outfit, think about how you have felt looking at past photos of yourself. Is there something you have worn that you really like the way it made you look in photos, or the way it made you feel while wearing it? What are your favorite things about yourself, and how can you draw attention to them?

I usually deliver around 100 photos per hour of shooting. I do my best to get a “sneak peek” to you within 48 hours of your photoshoot, and deliver the remaining edited photos in an online gallery within 8 weeks.

There are many times during our session when I will pose you, or offer subtle guidance. If I think something very specific will look nice, I will tell you. If not, I usually will place you in favorable light and let the chemistry take over from there!

Only with your permission. If I am photographing your wedding day, we will chat in advance about your comfort level with sharing images on social media, or having the images published.

I do not, because without editing the photos are only halfway done! However, I am careful to include every memory from your day and if you feel that I have forgotten one, feel free to ask me and I can review my files!

I don’t just allow them, I encourage them. Please bring your sweet boys and girls.
