Hello & Welcome

Thank you so much for your interest in my portrait photography services. I strive to provide my clients with a pleasing photography experience, great images, a diverse product line and exceptional customer service, all at an affordable price.

 

I seriously love taking photos, I love the interaction I get to have with my clients, and the genuine bonds Iform with them. My greatest joy is being able to give you images that you can hold on to and treasure formany years to come. I am a natural light, infant & child photographer and I combine traditional portraiture with photojournalism to create images that tell your story.

 

That little toddle that all too quickly becomes a run, those chubby cheeked dimples, or that expression of complete innocence — I believe every little bit of life is worth celebrating — from the everyday to the extraordinary. I love to capture real moments with your child and between you and your family. I will capture a variety of loosely posed and completely candid moments to ensure the moments and relationships that matter to you can be celebrated for a lifetime.

 

I want my images to tug at your heart, to bring tears to your eyes and to show you how beautiful and wonderful your family is. I want to create a timeless image that captures the fleeting look – you would know the look I mean – the precious look your child gives you and the world stops. Just for a beat of time or two. But your breath is going and life is magic.Please read through this welcome packet to learn more about my services, check out some of my work, and be sure to contact me with any questions and concerns you may have.

STUDIO SESSIONS COMING SOON | SUMMER 2014

What to expect 

Before your session

Once we’ve received your deposit payment, we’ll start planning your session. I’ll call you to go over the details of your packet. I’ll keep an eye on the weather forecast and contact you (the day of or day before your session) if we feel the session may need to be moved earlier or later in the day or re-scheduled.

 

We will then meet for your photography session, have loads of fun and capture great images. Additional fees may be incurred in the event a client re-schedules.

After your session

That evening after your session I will post a fewsneak peek images on my facebook page for you to view. Then within a week or two your digitally inhanced photos will be ready!

 

I’ll post my favorites to my blog & facebook page. Remember when you post & share, you earn extras! I then burn, package & deliver your customized photos and any addditional products you’ve ordered.​

Tips to make your session a smash

Just have fun

Please feel at ease at your session. If pressured to “smile”, natural expressions may be lost. Many of the great images we capture are the “in-between” shots, when the subject relaxes & smiles. Photo sessions are work for both subject and photographer but we’ve got tricks that make it fun & easy so don’t worry and don’t try too hard! Relax, it’s your day!

what to wear

Good choices in clothing is one of the key elements of a great photo session! For group sessions, clothing should be coordinated. Clothing should be simple and timeless. Favorites are jeans, khaki colored pants, white, black or neutral colored shirts, sundresses, gowns, hats and bare feet. (Large, busy prints, checkered patterns & geometric designs don’t photograph well). I’ll be checking in with you to chat about clothing choices. It’s a great idea to plan the outfits 2 weeks before the session. Lay them out on a bed, step back and take a look. Once you’re happy with your choices, make sure they are clean and wrinkle-free, then set them aside for your session. Don’t forget about shoes and the most overlooked item ... the socks! Yes, the socks are important...(the color). This will lower your stress level on session day!

travel fees

All prices above reflect sessions held within a 30 mile radius of Florence, South Carolina. There will be an additional $30 charge for any location 30 miles outside Florence, South Carolina.
