Within three weeks, you’ll receive an email letting you know your gallery is ready — and this is better than Christmas morning!
Your images will be delivered in a beautifully curated online gallery, where you can relive the laughter, the quiet in-between moments, and the expressions you didn’t even realize I captured.
You’ll be able to download your full gallery with ease, and I’ll include simple instructions for downloading, sharing, and printing so you feel confident preserving your images for years to come.
This is the part where you fall in love with your story all over again.
We’ll meet at your chosen location and have a great time. There’s no pressure to perform and no expectation of perfection — just space to be yourselves. I’ll guide you the entire time (yes, even tell you what to do with your hands 😉), directing when needed and stepping back when natural moments unfold. I’ll lead the flow so everything feels effortless and unhurried. By the end, you won’t just have beautiful portraits — you’ll have a collection of meaningful memories that reflect this season in your life.
Once you’ve chosen the session that feels right for your family or senior, a signed contract and deposit will secure your date on my calendar. From there, we’ll plan everything thoughtfully. I’ll send a style guide to make outfit choices simple, help you choose a location that fits your vision, and answer any questions along the way. You won’t be left guessing what comes next — I’ll guide you through each detail so you can feel prepared and at ease before session day arrives.
Start by filling out my contact form and sharing a little about your family and the season you’re in. The more I know, the better I can serve you. I’ll respond within 48 hours with availability, session details, and everything you need to move forward with confidence.
the experience
from start to finish
every story,
fully told
I don’t believe in asking you to narrow down your memories.
Each session is a story — full of subtle glances, laughter, proud smiles, and even the outtakes that make it real.
Because of that, you’ll receive a complete gallery of thoughtfully edited images, ready to download and relive whenever you need to step back into this season.
You won’t have to decide which moments matter most.
They all do.

2. secure your date
3. have a great time
4. fall in love
First, choose the session that is right for you. Then, I will send over a link where you can pay your retainer and sign your contract to secure your date. After that, we will decide on the perfect location & time for your session. My favorite time to meet outdoors is about 1-2 hours before sunset. Newborn sessions will be held in your home or my home studio and are scheduled late morning or early afternoon. I will also provide a Style Guide to help you look & feel your best!
We will meet at the beautiful location we discussed and will have so much fun! I will lead & guide you the entire time (no awkward hands - haha!), but we will also embrace those precious in-between moments that happen naturally as life unfolds! Your session will be relaxed, yet organized. I promise you're in good hands! :)
Within three weeks of your session date, you will receive an email with your gallery link. That's when you'll fall in love with your pictures! The email will contain instructions on how to download your images & purchase additional prints or products if you choose. If you choose the "London Collection", I will design your beautiful Storybook Album and have it delivered to you!

You may be wondering what in the world "Lifestyle Photography" is! I'm sure you remember those family portraits from your childhood. You know, the ones where everyone was perfectly still, every hair was in place, chins were tilted just right...and smiles were as fake as ever! It was obvious that everyone was miserable! Haha! Yes, they're our memories - good or bad - but those stiff photos do nothing to display connection, love & joy! We grew up thinking that the only "good" pictures worth keeping were the ones where everyone was looking & smiling at the camera!
Lifestyle Photography disrupts every one of those old-school ideas! It highlights the fun, happiness (and craziness) of life! :) It embraces wind-blown hair, belly laughs and tight hugs! And it even says it's okay if you're not looking at the camera! You may not be used to this idea, but I guarantee that when you see the beautiful story that is captured at your session, you will never ever go back to those stiff, lifeless photos! Plus, you may actually find that photo sessions can be fun!!
What is Lifestyle Photography?
frequently asked questions
Do you deliver every image from our shoot?
I do not deliver every single image taken. However, if an image speaks to me, I want you to see it! Rest assured your gallery will be a beautiful collection of images that help tell your story.
Do you travel for sessions?
Because I have two very busy teenage boys, I do not travel very often. If you are within one hour of the Elizabethtown, KY area, I will consider. Please inquire about travel fees.
Do you photograph weddings?
I love weddings & have photographed over 60 of them. I book a very limited number per year due to the amount of time and demand that they require. With busy teenage boys, this is what's best for our family at this time.
Do you offer coaching for other photographers?
Yes! I recently started offering photography coaching! You can view information here!
how long will it take to get our photos delivered?
You will receive your photos within 3 weeks of your session date. See the Client Experience tab above for more info.
how far in advance do I need to book my session?
I usually book 4-6 weeks out. Fall dates fill up even faster. It's never too early!
what should I wear to my session?
Once you book your session, I will send you a style guide with tips on what to wear. Plus, if you need help or opinions on outfits, feel free to send me pictures! I'll be glad to offer suggestions.
can i bring props to my photo session?
My style is very simple and organic. I do not use props other than a quilt and a chair. However, if you have something that is special to you that you would like to incorporate, feel free to bring it along!
can i bring my pet to my session?
Of course you can!! I just ask that you give me a heads up so I can plan accordingly. :)
