Maternity Photography: Pregnancy portraits capture one of the most precious moments of your life. I understand the magic of this transformation and will work with you to capture the miracle of your pregnancy in a way you will cherish. Your entire family is encouraged to participate.

I recommend plain clothing with no logos. We want to emphasize your beautiful shape and busy clothes can be distracting

I always take the time before each session to discuss the sort of portrait that you want to have before we start. Some moms-to-be want to celebrate their bump fully clothed and others are comfortable being photographed partially nude, or discreetly draped. Both produce beautiful results.

However you chose to be photographed, the end result will be a beautiful piece of art that will celebrate the wonderful nine month journey that you are going through.

I prefer to photograph using natural light, which is a consideration when setting up a session appointment. After the session, photographs are individually retouched and enhanced.

Session fee of $250 includes:

§ Consult prior to the photo session

§ Session fee also includes a choice of (1x) 8"x10" or (2x) 5"x7" prints of your choice.
Other prints/enlargements can be ordered for an additional fee.

Newborn Photography: If you are having a newborn/child session then we will work at your young one's pace. I understand how unpredictable children can be and it is my aim to work in such a way that your little one has fun.

Newborn sessions are best between 0-3 weeks and are best in plain one piece outfits (or naked). Baby sessions are relaxed and in a "go with the flow" format and usually last about 2-3 hours (including setting up). Keep a change of clothes and diapers on hand!

For older children I have found that the best images are produced when the session is fun. Getting children to laugh is one of the things that I love about my job...and I don't believe that simply pointing a camera in a child's face and saying "say cheese" is going to get the photos that you want.

The best images are produced when the children are relaxed, comfortable and happy. Overly posed or staged smiles usually end up with gritted teeth and squinty eyes. Weather permitting, I prefer to photograph older children outdoors, where they are free to play and be themselves.

Session fee of $300 includes

§ My unlimited time, talent and unique eye for lighting and composition.
§ Processing of images in color, black and white, and selective coloring (where appropriate).
§ Unlimited air brushing of scars, blemishes if desired.
