The Photographer

Photography began as a therapeutic hobby and quickly blossomed into an artistic outlet, but as my passion for the camera kept growing I knew I had to make it a bigger part of my life. I decided to seek employment in the field and have been working as a preschool photographer since 2020.

Finding real joy in my work as a portrait photographer, I became inspired to step into my own mission fueled by my own creative vision when it comes to freezing special moments in time for others.

In 2023, I was honored to be a preschool category winner of the Everyday Hero National Photography Competition featuring thousands of entries. It's my wholehearted love for what I do that made that win possible. Nothing makes me more proud than capturing genuine expressions in portraits that will hang in family galleries for years to come.

I offer family & children's portraits, senior portraits, milestone & pet photography, professional headshots & more.

FAQs

  • This non refundable fee covers my time & talent, as well as retains your session date & time. You will receive a pre-session consultation, the allotted photo session time as it corresponds to your chosen package & a high resolution, professionally edited, digital gallery of all quality images produced during your shoot.

  • Booking your session includes signing a standard contract agreeing to the terms of your session, choosing a session date & paying half your session fee to hold your appointment. Once that's squared away, I will send you a quick Q&A to help me get a vision of what you're looking for during our time working together. From there we can discuss creative visions as necessary & choose a location for our session. The balance of your fee is due before, or at the time of our scheduled session.

    During the shoot itself, I'll take a variety of portraits that will capture who you are as individuals as well as reflect the story of who you are to each other. All you have to do is show up, be real & be ready to have a little fun.

    After our shoot, I'll get to work reviewing & editing your gallery!

  • Your edited gallery will be delivered via email link 7-10 days after your shoot. Or up to 3-4 weeks for events. The link to your gallery will allow you to view, share & download your photos for printing.

  • I guarantee at least 15 images per 30 minutes of shooting, but will include all quality images in your gallery.

  • Basic retouch is included in my editing process. If it's temporary, I'll erase it. Blemishes & bruises? They’re out of here. But I will not change who you are because who you are is beautiful.

  • Ideally, I'd love to go somewhere you feel connected to, or a place that you love the look or feel of, so please lay your ideas on me! If you don't have a certain location in mind, don't sweat it, I have some favorite spots that I'm sure you’ll dig.

  • First & foremost be comfortable! Authenticity makes for the best photos so I want you to feel like you. That said, creating a cohesive look goes a long way for eye-pleasing snaps too, so I'd recommend choosing wardrobes within a certain color palette for everyone in frame. Unless, of course, unconventional is your thing, then go ahead & get wild. I'm here for that too. We can discuss these ideas more during our consultation if you'd like.

  • This is where my experience as a preschool photographer comes in handy! Sometimes it takes a few minutes for a kiddo to warm up to the situation, but I have a few tricks up my sleeve & most of the time I'm able to coax a little cooperation. The main thing is for you to not stress about it, go with the flow & believe me when I say that the meltdowns can be just as precious to capture. If those moments come they typically pass pretty quickly. We'll be okay.

  • Some weather we can still work with & if you're willing to brave it, can actually offer quite a bit to the mood of the shoot, but if outside is not an option you can choose to move the session inside your home, or we can reschedule.

  • I typically work in Madison & the immediately surrounding areas, but I’m open to hitting the road for an additional fee based on location.
