All. The. Things.
My deepest desire is to tell your family’s unique story. I want to capture the details, the hugs, the joy and love you feel. The main focus will be on your family interacting and authentically being you - not posed and smiling cheese. Hug that toddler, kiss the boo-boo, snuggle your baby, stare into the eyes of your soulmate and LIVE this wonderful life you’ve created. I will lead you into poses using gentle prompts but at the end of the day, you should be authentically you. There will always be chaos (I have 5 kids remember.. nothing can phase me!) but photo sessions should NOT be stressful. They should be fun and full of love. Truly.
And of course you’re going to feel your best when you look your best! Every full session includes my professional styling service for your entire family and access to my exclusive client closet with beautiful dresses for mama and some children's options as well. Outdoor sessions are taken during the beautiful golden hour before sunset near Hubbard, NE and are typically about an hour long. Indoor sessions can either be done at your home or my studio near Hubbard, NE. A travel fee incurs if location is outside of a 30 mile radius of Hubbard.
You will receive an online proofing gallery within 1-2 weeks and be able to select a set number of fully edited digital images with printing rights with the option to upgrade to include additional digitals, as well as the option to order professional lab quality prints through your online gallery.
