The Experience
Before the Session
I know how stressful it can be to plan for photos—there are outfits to choose, a location to select, and so many expectations to live up to, right?
Take a deep breath, because I’m here to help. When you choose your session date, you’ll get immediate access to my styling service. You’ll answer a short questionnaire about who is in the session, the general style you’re looking for and the color schemes you like, and the service will choose photographer-approved outfits for you to compare side-by-side.
Along with the styling service, I’ll send you my digital Style Guide Magazine to help you prepare for your session.
The Style Guide will also walk you through ideas for incorporating your finished images into your home as artwork (wall art and other printed keepsakes). If you’re hoping to download your files, throw a few on Facebook and then put them in a drawer somewhere never to be seen again, I’m just not the photographer for you.
To me, a photographer’s job isn’t done until she’s helped you do something with the photos.
I’ll also have you send me photos of your walls before your session so I know a bit about your style. You’ll receive complimentary wall design ideas after your session.
During the Session
I’ll use a mix of prompts and movement to get natural photos. I’ll also have you bring a friend along to take part in some of the verbal prompts to get you laughing.
After the Session
About two weeks after your photo session, you’ll get to see and download your photos in your online gallery, and you’ll get a one day 20% off sale to buy any professional print products that you want for your home or for gifts.
You’ll also get access to my online wall gallery designer to visualize exactly what your photos will look like to scale on your own walls. I can even upload other personal photos for you if you want to put together a wall gallery with a mix of photos.

FAQ
Q: Will you travel? Does this cost extra?
I live in East Lansing, Michigan and will travel within 20 miles of the Greater Lansing area for no additional fee. Sessions outside of the Lansing area are $1 per mile driven beyond 20 miles (note: full sessions and larger only).
Q: Do I pay sales tax on my session?
Per Michigan law, a 6% sales tax will be added to all session fees for Michigan clients. Product credit will not be charged sales tax since sales tax will be applied to the products at the time of purchase.
Prices are subject to change.
