The session retainer fee formally reserves your session date/time. Once payment is received, that session is yours. Balance for sessions is due before or at your session.

Post session processing and preparation of your images takes up to 3 weeks. You will receive your own private link to download the high-quality images. I take great pride in my work and my passion is to offer high end, artistic portrait photography. I offer an entire client closet for those who prefer guidance for wardrobe, as well as newborn outfits, wraps, hats & bows including maternity gowns, 1st birthday outfits and props that you are welcome to use during your shoot! Gift cards are also available throughout the year!
