Newborn $275
(Up to two months old) ldeal time for newborns is 3-14 days old but every baby and situation is unique. I block off three hours for these sessions and they last anywhere from 1-3 hours depending on a few factors. I have tons of baby hats, accessories, blankets, props, etc available for you to use at your newborn session. I also encourage parents to be in a few images.
If you would like to add on an 'announcement' or 'pregnancy glow' session a few weeks/months before your baby arrives, please inquire on additional pricing.
If you would like to include other siblings in this session, please inquire on additional pricing and details.
I encourage you to book your newborn session before your baby is born--we'll put your due date and a tentative session date on the calendar and adjust after your baby is born. I also love to book last minute 'I just had my baby' sessions as well if my schedule and availability allows.
25+ edited images in gallery.
Extended Family or Cousins… are typically reserved for existing families that I've photographed before. Please inquire for a specific price quote with number of family members and ages (of kiddos), please.
SESSION OPTIONS for seniors:
My most popular senior package that I do is the ‘Ultimately YOU!’ and is usually split in a summer and fall time frame with one of the sessions having an option to include ‘immediate family’ also.
Most senior sessions take place June through November (summer before senior year or fall of senior year).
Most yearbook photo deadlines are in December or January of senior year, depending on the school and I can help you in submitting the correct format and specifications that is needed.
THANK YOU in advance for your interest in my photography! I do have recent examples of my style and 2023-2024 seniors but I have not updated my website or my social media sites that much in the past few years—please ask if you are interested and I’m more than willing to send you some sample galleries!

This package may be split into two different time frames/seasons and may include the entire (immediate) family in a portion of one of the sessions OR we can structure the session all in one day/time frame. I’ve done this both ways (split or all at once) and it works well either way and depends on a few factors of what works best for each family/senior.

As a mom of a 2021 North Polk senior girl (Elli) and a 2024 North Polk senior boy (Nolan), I have LOTS of experience ‘MOMMING’, senior photographing, styling, posing and making kids feel comfortable during their session time.
I have photographed lots of local and surrounding seniors the past few years and also over the past decade so I’m full of senior photo experience, too.
I would LOVE to capture your moments and share this experience with you and your senior if our visions and style of photography matches.
