01. SHOULD YOU DO IT YOURSELF?


Short answer...NO. This isn't just about pictures...it's about the experience! It's a day that's all about YOU. You can, and do, go out with your cell phone every day. I'm sure you take pictures every day as well. But, how often do you get the opportunity to work with a professional photographer? To have a reason to get dressed up and have your hair/makeup done? To visit cool locations and highlight your interests and personality?

02. PICK A LOCATION


Country? Farm? City? What speaks to you? I'll help you choose locations that vibe with you. Don't want to vibe? No worries, we can find some pretty interesting locations that stand out as well.

03. SEASON


This is a big one! Season goes hand-in-hand with locations. Say you want fall leaves and colors? We have a very narrow window of time in the fall to make that happen. Same with spring flowers or summer/fall sunflowers. Having an idea or vision ahead of time will help to narrow your choices down.

04. GUESTS?


Want a few pics with your bestie? Can Do! Want mom to jump in for a couple? That's totally do-able. I leave these towards the end of the session, but having a friend along for moral support is OK by me.

05. PROPS


I love a good prop! Cool chairs, cars, pets, medals, books, motorbikes...if you can get it to the session, I can get it in the photos. Props are perfect for showcasing your passions, hobbies and personalities.

06. LENGTH & PACKAGES


I have varying options to choose from. Some don't want a lengthy session, others want ALL the locations and props and need more time. Pick what you want and know that I do offer payment plans for all. For more info, just ask!
