    • Heartbeat Sessions: A streamlined, digital-first option perfect for clients looking for a quick, efficient way to capture milestones or family updates.

    • Click Fiesta Photo Booth: A high-energy addition for weddings, quinceañeras, and parties, providing instant digital access to photos, GIFs, and boomerangs.

    • Specialty Photography: I also specialize in maternity, newborn, cake smash, high school senior, and family milestone portraits.

  • It’s simple! Just fill out the Inquiry Form on my contact page. Once we chat about your vision and choose a date, I’ll send over a contract and a deposit invoice to lock in your spot.

  • For portraits and lifestyle sessions, 4–6 weeks is usually perfect. However, if you have a last-minute request, don't hesitate to reach out—I might have an opening! For events, I recommend booking 6-12 months out.

  • Yes! I love personal touches. Just give me a heads-up beforehand so we can plan the shoot logistics accordingly.

  • Think of an Archive Session as a full-service experience. It includes pre-session planning, wardrobe styling, and a personal reveal and ordering appointment where we select custom wall art and albums together. It’s designed for those who want a finished, tangible product to display in their home.

    A Heartbeat Session is our digital-focused option. It’s perfect for clients looking for a quick, efficient way to update their family photos or celebrate a milestone without the full design and ordering process.

  • es! I offer seasonal mini sessions throughout the year. These are limited-time, shorter sessions perfect for quick updates. Be sure to sign up to my newsletter to be the first to know when dates are released.

  • Most photographers offer a "one-size-fits-all" approach, but I know that every family or business has different needs.

    • The Archive Experience is for when you want a concierge-level service. It’s for the client who knows their photos shouldn’t live on a hard drive forever. I guide you from planning your wardrobe to designing the wall art that fits your home perfectly.

    • The Heartbeat Session is for when you need a quick, reliable refresh—like updated family photos or headshots—without the design process. It’s efficient, fun, and gets you the high-quality digital files you need to share immediately. By offering both, I ensure you aren’t paying for services you don’t need, but you always have the option to upgrade to a full-service experience when you want heirloom-quality results.

  • You absolutely can, but I want you to know the difference. When you print from consumer labs (like local drugstores or online discount sites), the color, brightness, and contrast are rarely calibrated to match the professional edits I’ve created. Your photos often come back looking "off."

    When you print through our Archive Experience, I ensure the files are color-calibrated specifically for professional labs. We choose the right materials—like linen-bound albums or gallery canvases—that are archival-grade, meaning they won't yellow or fade in five years. You’re not just buying a print; you’re buying a piece of home decor that will last generations.

  • This is the most common "black hole" in photography. Hard drives fail, USB drives get lost, and cloud storage accounts eventually change or expire. The sad reality is that many of the digital photos taken today will be lost within a decade.

    My goal isn't just to give you files; it’s to help you create a physical legacy. If you choose a digital-only session (Heartbeat), I highly recommend backing them up in at least three places: a cloud service, an external hard drive, and a physical print. If you aren't sure how to do that, ask me—I’m happy to walk you through it!

  • ou could, but an online gallery can feel like homework. Clients often tell me they feel overwhelmed staring at a computer screen full of photos, unsure which ones to pick or what size to print.

    The In-Person Reveal (part of our Archive sessions) is a dedicated time for us to sit down together. We watch a slideshow, narrow down your favorites, and show how your photos will look on your specific walls. It takes the stress out of the process, and you leave having checked "print my photos" off your to-do list forever.
