I'm so excited to be documenting this special time in your family's life! Whether it's your brand new baby or your family as you are this year, it's a moment in time and a memory worth savoring. Your session will be booked upon completion of a contract and payment of a non-refundable retainer. The retainer is included in the total session investment; $100 will hold your date, and the remaining session fee will be due 24 hours prior to your session. (Example: $490 = $100 retainer + $390 remaining session fee.) Please choose your session type below, and complete the Contact Form to book your session today!
