The Process

We will work together to choose a date, time, and location that best works for us. (During my fall sessions, you will choose from my availability calendar.) You will then pay the deposit to secure your date. I will send you a confirmation email. The rest of the payment is due the day of the session.

I. Choose your date & location

II. Preparing for your session

At this time, I remain at your disposal for questions regarding wardrobe and any other concerns you may have leading up to our session day. You can also refer to the FAQ section below.

III. Session Time

IV. Editing & Photo Delivery

I'm so excited to work with you! By now, I will have been in touch about exact time and meeting address. All you have to do is show up with a smile!

Your final payment is now due and I will begin hand-editing your photos. I ask for up to two weeks for mini sessions, and up to one month for weddings or longer sessions to complete your photos. Of course, my goal is to always get your photos back to you as soon as possible! Upon completion of editing, I will send over your gallery with download instructions and include a print release as well.

FAQ

Each session is unique, so no two sessions will have exactly the same edits. I hand-edit each photo, true-to-color. The edits will reflect the mood and personalities of the session.

FAQ

A 50% non-refundable retainer fee is required to book your session. The remaining balance is due after your session. 5.5% Wisconsin State + Dane County tax will also added to invoices in Wisconsin. A deposit secures your date with me to ensure I do not book other clients during your desired time. This also ensures me that you will show up for your session.

FAQ

Absolutely! In my years of photographing families, including my own, 20-minutes is the sweet spot. Children, tots and teens included, lose interest around the 20-minute mark. We will start with some posed shots, then move to some fun shots to get them engaged again!

FAQ

There are things in photography we cannot control, weather and emergency situations. I typically watch the weather a few days before your session. I've found that sometimes the weather will shift an hour or so right before your session, and ends up being a beautiful evening. If this isn't the case, we will work on rescheduling for a better day. In the event of an emergency, please reach out to me on my cell or email as soon as possible. A refund on your deposit will only be made if we cannot reschedule.

FAQ

All sessions (including engagements) in Madison, Wisconsin include travel distance within 15 miles of the capitol building. Locations outside of this radius will be charged a travel fee.


Weddings and elopements will be reviewed depending on venue location, but subject to a travel fee.


I also travel back to my hometown, Washington DC, one to two times a year and schedule family sessions around those dates. I also travel around the US and internationally and would love to work with your family. You can follow my social accounts to find out where I will be next!
