Yup that s right I only photograph kiddos (well, and sometimes their super cool moms and dads too). Because of this, I have become a ninja in the art of children s photography! With 8+ years experience photographing kids (and countless years acting like one), you can bet your bottom dollar I have SEEN IT ALL!

Believe me when I say: I GOT THIS! So read through this brochure and find out what True photo session is going to suit you and those adorable littles best!

4 session types (&fees) (each session has been created for a specific audience of tiny human) NOTE FOR ALL SESSIONS: Careful consideration has been given to price so I am able to offer each and every client the very best customer service, creativity for your session and most importantly, a great experience. Session fees do not include products or digital files of any kind. There is a $295 minimum product purchase (prints, digitals and/or other products) requirement per session. This is in addition to the session fee and is due at the time of your session. newborn session $ hour studio session custom styled to your preferences and color choices Full access to props, backdrops and studio wardrobe Parent and/or sibling shots with newborn Online gallery and slideshow of at least 25 edited images (50+ total with creative black and whites) from which to make your purchase decisions Welcome guide with pre session tips and best practices to make your session a smashing success! The days are long but the years are short. I cannot stress that enough! The newborn window lasts around 3 weeks. That brief moment in time when they are still sleepy and curled up and brand new. I have spent countless hours studying the art, science and safety of newborn portraiture. I am extremely passionate about this area of photography and my attention to detail borders along the lines of obsessive compulsive! I strive to create a session that is more than just the final product but an experience that will be remembered forever. The best time to book your newborn session is during your 5th or 6th month of pregnancy (or earlier) to ensure I m available when your little bundle of joy arrives. I average 7 sessions a week and my schedule fills up very fast. If you are interested in reserving a spot, contact me today to fill out my online booking paperworkand submit your deposit. I use your due date as a placeholder in my calendar and then once your baby is born, we set up the actual session within three weeks of birth. Newborn sessions are generally shot on Tuesdays and Thursdays between the hours of 9am and 3pm. I can also provide baby registry cards if you wish to include me in your baby shower invites!! watch me grow package $450 You may also want to consider the Watch Me Grow package if you are interested in capturing your baby s first year. This package includes the newborn, sitting (6-8 month range) and one year sessions. It offers a $50 savings when booked ahead as well as an 11x14 print with each session. Minimum product purchase investment of $295 still appies for each session. There is nothing more precious or emotional than bringing a new bundle of joy into this world. Capturing those first few moments are priceless and a once in a lifetime opportunity to preserve something that will be cherished for generations to come.

26 a little about me See those people over there to the left??? That s my tribe. They are the heart and soul of my business. I truly wouldn t be here today if it wasn t for them. Something changed when I became a mom. It ignited a fire within and has driven me to this soul fulfilling career. I m truly blessed and I don t take it for granted for one.single.moment. Giving birth to my two children is my greatest accomplishment and will always be my top priority. I have a Business Finance degree and worked 12 years in the investment industry before making the jump to this creative field in A decision I don t regret for one second, however, I am extremely grateful for that experience which laid the groundwork for launching this career. As a child, my walls were constantly plastered with pictures torn out of magazines that were full of vibrant colors and the latest fashions. In fact, I decoupaged much of my furniture too with the pages of fashion magazines and catalogs. God love my parents for allowing me to ruin their walls and furniture! Today, I m still obsessed with colors and fashion and how that translates into a stylized image. My love of working with children probably stems from the fact that I still often feel like one. I ve always had a big imagination and this has helped me relate well to my subjects. To me, the combination of personality and unique style is what creates a dynamite image. Photo credit: Twig & Olive Photography There is nothing I enjoy more than bringing out a child s true personality. My goal is to ensure your kids have a blast playing and posing in front of my camera and on my hand built sets and backdrops. I m a firm believer that the kids need to have fun in order for me to capture their true personality. Because of all these reasons, my photography has evolved into a natural focus on newborns, babies and children. I look forward to meeting you and even more so, having your kids come play at my studio!
