About Your Session
My photography style is rooted in rich, honest, in‑depth storytelling. I’m drawn to the little, quiet moments—the ones that might seem small at first, but end up meaning everything. Gentle glances, tiny hands, real laughter, and the in‑between moments that show who you truly are together. I aim to capture your family exactly as I see them: deeply connected and incredibly beautiful.
Your session can take place in your home (always for lifestyle newborn sessions) or at an on‑location spot of your choice within the Kentuckiana area. I know many beautiful locations throughout the Louisville metro and Southern Indiana, and I’m always happy to explore places that are meaningful to you as well. For newborn sessions, your home is the perfect backdrop—whether you have a fully styled nursery or not. We’ll use the space you have to create timeless images, because your home tells your story just as it is, and it deserves to be remembered.
You’re welcome (and encouraged!) to bring along any meaningful items you’d like included—heirlooms, handmade pieces, favorite books, or anything that represents this season of life. I love weaving these details into your images to create a fuller story.
Sessions typically last one to two hours, depending on the number of people (or animals!) involved. I’ll provide gentle guidance and light posing when needed, but my heart is in capturing natural interaction and authentic connection. Expect movement, conversation, and a lot of unfiltered fun—I love to talk, and I want you to feel completely at ease.
Within six weeks of your session, your private online viewing gallery will be ready for you to download and keep. I’ll be available to answer any questions during that time.
Welcome Guides
Frequently Asked Questions
General Session FAQs
What should we wear to our session?
Neutral tones, soft textures, and simple patterns photograph beautifully. Once you’re booked, you’ll receive a style guide to help you coordinate outfits without being too “matchy.”
How long does a session last?
Most sessions last between 1–2 hours. This allows plenty of time for natural moments, breaks for kids (or babies), and a relaxed pace.
Do you pose us?
Yes—but gently. I’ll guide you into natural positions and movements, then let real interaction unfold. My goal is for you to feel comfortable, not stiff or overly posed.
What if my kids don’t cooperate?
That’s completely okay (and very normal). I follow your children’s lead, allow space for breaks, and focus on connection rather than perfection. Some of the most meaningful images come from the in-between moments.
Can we include pets?
Absolutely! Pets are part of the family and are always welcome in sessions.
Newborn Session FAQs
When should I book my newborn session?
It’s best to book during your second or early third trimester to reserve space on my calendar. Sessions are scheduled flexibly once baby arrives.
Do lifestyle newborn sessions require a nursery?
Not at all. We can use any space with good light—bedrooms, living rooms, or even cozy corners. Your home doesn’t need to be styled or “Pinterest-perfect.”
What if my baby is fussy?
That’s expected and completely okay. We take breaks for feeding, changing, and soothing as needed. Sessions are baby-led and never rushed.
Do you pose newborns?
Lifestyle newborn sessions are minimally posed and focus on natural moments, connection, and your baby just as they are—no complex posing or props.
Location & Travel FAQs
Where do sessions take place?
Sessions can take place in your home (always for lifestyle newborns) or at an outdoor location in the Kentuckiana area, including Louisville metro and Southern Indiana.
Can we choose our own location?
Yes! I’m happy to photograph in a location that’s meaningful to you, and I’m always open to trying new places.
Booking & Delivery FAQs
How far in advance should we book?
I recommend booking 4–6 weeks in advance for family sessions and earlier for newborn sessions, as availability is limited.
When will we receive our images?
Your full online gallery will be delivered within two weeks of your session.
How will we receive our photos?
You’ll receive a private online gallery where you can download your images and keep them forever.
Will you share our photos online?
I love sharing sneak peeks, but I always respect your privacy. Just let me know if you’d prefer your images not be shared.
Experience-Based FAQs
We’re awkward in front of the camera—will this still work?
Yes. Most of my clients feel this way! I guide you throughout the session and create a relaxed, fun environment so things feel natural.
What makes your sessions different?
My focus is on connection, emotion, and storytelling rather than perfection. I want your images to feel like you and reflect this season of life honestly.
