Story Telling Starts Here...
Let me start by saying, my sessions light my heart on fire! I pour my heart and soul into your session to create not just photos- but works of art. I am the right photographer for you if you are looking for a relaxed session with lots of candid shots, capturing raw emotions, and you value guidance on styling and location.
Upon booking, you will complete a brief questionnaire so that I am able to get to know you a little better. We will also schedule a zoom call to discuss your vision for the session and what you aim to capture about your life right now. My hope is that we go into the session already knowing each other so that you feel relaxed and free to be yourself. I have several locations you may choose from depending on the setting you would like (meadow, beach, creek, waterfalls, etc.) within the Mentor, Ohio area. I will assist you in carefully selecting your wardrobe and will send you an extensive style guide including what to (and what not to) wear. I also have a Client Closet you may use for your session.
All sessions take place on Friday, Saturday or Sunday evenings- one hour before sunset (ie. "golden hour").
Your session will capture your authentic and unique relationships to one another. During a family session, we will let kids be kids! You will play with them, laugh with them, hold them and cherish this fleeting moment in time. When you look back on your photos, I don't want you to just see them- I want you to feel them.

FAQ
I Want to Book! What Are My Next Steps?
Please submit an Enquiry Form on the Contact page. You can expect a response from me within 48 hours. If you don't hear back, please check your spam folder! A non-refundable retainer of $150 is required to hold your session date. The remainder of your balance is due the day before your session. Once we settle on a date, you will complete your booking link and zoom call!
Where Do Sessions Take Place?
I have scouted a variety of locations for scenery and lighting (beaches, rivers, waterfalls, meadows, etc.) in the Mentor, Ohio area. If you have a particular location in mind we can discuss those options. Scouting and travel fees may apply.
When Do I Receive My Photos?
Galleries are delivered via online gallery within 2 to 6 weeks of your session depending on season. You are able to download as many times as you wish for as long as your gallery is open.
What if My Session is Rained Out?
It happens! If we are unable to shoot due to weather, we will reschedule your session for a weekday evening or an open weekend evening.
What is a Client Closet?
Wardrobe has a HUGE impact on your photos- and not all clothing, patterns and colors photographs well. I understand not wanting to purchase a dress you may wear for (literally) one hour. I have a selection of dresses you are more than welcome to borrow for your session. You can view these on my Instagram account or when we schedule our zoom call.
