Things you might want to know
1 What does a session with you feel like?
Sessions are relaxed and easygoing. I’ll guide you throughout when needed, but there’s no pressure for everyone to pose perfectly and stand still. Especially with kids, I’ve found the best photos usually happen once everyone settles in, plays a little, and stops thinking too much about the camera.
2 Where do sessions usually take place?
Sessions usually take place outdoors at a location that fits the look and feel you’re wanting. I’m based in Southwest Virginia and happy to travel to surrounding areas for sessions and weddings. If you’re not sure where to go, I can help with location ideas based on your style, session type, and the season.
3 How do you guide us during the session?
I’ll guide you through the session with natural poses, prompts, and movement so you never feel like you have to figure it out on your own. I’ll help with where to stand, what to do with your hands, when to look at the camera, and when to just focus on each other. My goal is to make the session feel relaxed, comfortable, and true to you.
4 How do we book a session with you?
You can fill out the contact form with a few details about yourself, the type of session you’re looking for, and any dates or locations you already have in mind. I’ll get back to you with availability, pricing, and the next steps from there.
An experience built with care and intention
A relaxed session where you can slow down, be together, and let the little moments happen naturally.
Photography should feel easy, comfortable, and true to you.
Whether you’re booking a wedding, senior session, family photos, or a couples session, my goal is to make the entire experience feel relaxed and personal. You do not have to know how to pose, where to go, or exactly what to do. I’ll guide you through the process, help with the little details, and create space for real moments to happen naturally.

Planning your session
Send me a message via my contact page so we confirm a date and time for your session, and discuss the details. From there, we’ll pick a location that works best and start preparing for the day of the photoshoot.
Session day
I recommend arriving 10-15 minutes earlier. We’ll spend some time chatting, drinking coffee or having some snacks, to get everyone feeling good and relaxed. It will be a fun, easy, and lovely day, I promise!
Editing and selection
Two to four weeks after the session, you’ll receive an email from me with an invitation to view your photos in a private beautiful online gallery. I will also send you a PIN code to use for downloading the photos. If it was a wedding, you will receive sneak peeks within 24 hours.
Prints & albums
If you want to print your photos, you’ll be able to order all types of prints, wall art, greeting cards, or create a full family album, right inside your online gallery. You place the order, and everything gets delivered to your doorstep.
Preparing for your session
Sessions always feel best when you come as yourselves. Here are a few tips to help things feel relaxed and stress-free.
- Choose outfits that feel comfortable and true to you
- Focus on coordinating rather than matching outfits perfectly
- Give yourself extra time before the session so things feel relaxed
- Don’t stress if kids need breaks, we’ll follow their pace
- Personal touches can make your photos feel even more special, bring anything that helps tell your story.
- Feel free to bring snacks, comfort items, or favorite toys along
- Don’t worry about posing or perfection, I’ll guide you throughout the session
