  • Session day - You’re the star, and it’s all about you! Be ready to have some FUN.

  • A few days or so after your session, we will meet at the studio to view a private reveal gallery and help you choose the images you want in your collection. Your final selections are then fully retouched and sent to you for download. Your complimentary products will be ordered soon after, and we call you to pick them up when they arrive so you can come in and see them! (Hint: it’s my favorite part.)

We may be able to squeeze you in.
