Booking is easy! Simply visit the Contact Page and fill out the inquiry form. I’ll respond within 24 hours—usually sooner—to answer any questions and help you reserve your date. A signed session agreement and retainer are required to hold your spot.

For newborn and maternity sessions, I recommend booking in your second trimester to guarantee availability. Family and milestone sessions are best booked 4–6 weeks in advance. If you’re planning a last-minute session, feel free to reach out—I may have an opening!

Each collection includes my time and talent as a professional photographer, a beautifully styled and guided session, and a set number of hand-edited digital images. Some packages also include print credits that you can use toward custom albums, wall art, or keepsakes.

Yes! I offer Afterpay for digital products and photography session payments. You can split your session fee into four interest-free payments, making it easier to invest in your memories without stress.

Most sessions take place at my professional photography studio in Saint Paul, MN, which is fully equipped with props, lighting, and everything we need. I also offer outdoor sessions at my private studio garden or local parks depending on the type of session and season.

Absolutely. I was a very shy child myself, and I understand how overwhelming a photo session can feel. My approach is gentle and relaxed, allowing your child to ease into the experience at their own pace. I strive to make all children feel seen, safe, and celebrated.

Final, hand-edited images are typically delivered within 2 weeks from photoshoot.

A print credit works like a gift card that’s included with certain packages. You can use it in your online gallery store to purchase heirloom-quality prints, albums, and wall art—crafted to last for generations. There are no minimum purchase requirements, and you’re free to add to your credit if you wish.

Life happens—I totally get it. If you need to reschedule, just let me know as soon as possible. Your retainer can be transferred to a new date within the same calendar year, subject to availability. For newborns, I understand babies don’t always arrive on schedule, so I remain flexible with those session dates.

Yes! I love capturing multi-generational connections. Depending on the collection you choose, there may be an additional fee for extended family members, simply due to the added time and coordination required. Let me know your vision and we’ll plan accordingly.

I completely understand—kids have their moments. Sessions are relaxed and child-led, so if your little one needs a break or a snack, we take it. I’ve worked with hundreds of kiddos and know how to capture sweet moments even on the trickiest days.

Yes! Well-behaved, social pets are welcome in certain session types, including newborn and family photos. Please let me know ahead of time so I can prepare the studio or choose the best outdoor location to include your furry family member.

Absolutely. All final digital images are high-resolution and come with a print release, so you can print them for personal use. I also offer access to a professional lab through your gallery for heirloom-quality prints and artwork.

Yes! Gift certificates are available and make wonderful baby shower, birthday, or holiday gifts. They can be used toward any session or product in the studio. Just reach out to arrange a personalized gift card or digital delivery.
