You’ll receive a pre-session questionnaire to help me get to know you and your sweet fam. Give me all the details, spill all the tea. I love a good story. Then we’ll start chatting about your vision, a location, and we’ll do a mood board to help with styling. After that it’s smooth sailing to session day!
You pick a month for a session then pay a retainer and sign a contract. Life is crazy - kids sports schedules, anyone? We’ll pick an official date on the 1st of the month before your chosen month. This lets you get on my calendar without committing to a date months in advance!
Hey, I totally get it! My kids won’t last through an hour of “stand here and smile at the camera” either. My art is an experience. I’m here to document connection, unrelenting joy, and so much love. We laugh, we play, we snuggle, we do things you love. To honor what I do and give you tangible, bottled up feelings that will last a lifetime it’s important that we stick to the process. It’s fun and painless, I promise! Prepping your family that “Paige is going to hangout with us while we do X” really helps shift that perspective!
My sessions are focused on connection with lots of movement and play and snugs. They’re inherently rooted in imperfection because that’s real life, that’s where the important stuff falls. If you’re looking for primarily posed portraits, there are so many great local photographers that specialize in this and I’m happy to connect you! I do, however, always grab a fam photo with everyone looking at me near the end of the session when the kids are comfy and in their element.
Totally - with a little planning! My contracted turn around time 4 weeks. As long as we schedule your session 4 weeks ahead of your needed delivery date, you’re golden. I do also offer a Rush TAT for $250 and this guarantees delivery in one week.
I do!!! I travel January through August. September through December is blocked off for prioritizing my family during the most chaotic part of our year. Some of my favorite sessions have been travel sessions in South Carolina, Nashville, Chicago, and beyond. We can chat details but this is always a yes!
BIG YES! Film is available as an add on to any session at $200 which includes a roll of film and processing.
I’m a big believer in working with what you already have. Comfort is SO important. If you hate dresses, don’t wear a dress. If your kid wants to wear their bright yellow rainboots with a princess dress, let it happen. But once we chat about your session and what’s important to you to remember about this season, I will send over a mood board and we will collaborate to bring it to bring it to life. I love complimentary color pallets, mixing textures and subtle patterns, and truly utilizing cool pieces you already own!
My booking process is the way that it is specifically to avoid these scenarios. If it’s sickness related, absolutely. But for anything else, please respect both your time and mine by ensuring you’re selecting an available date that works with your schedule.
