Session info & Investment

My goal as a photographer is to create a relationship with each one of my clients that allows me to be there to document all of their lives’ moments. If you’re looking for a relaxed, fun photography session with someone who’s passion is truly creating timeless photos for your family to cherish, contact me and let’s start creating memories

All session pricing is ALL-INCLUSIVE.

That means you know what your investment is from the start. You choose the package that is best for you, no hidden costs or session fees.

Session pricing includes: online consultation, access to all studio props, fully edited high resolution digital images, and a print release with suggestions as to where to print for the best quality.

Newborn sessions are held at my studio, 1219 W. Ash St. in Springfield. All other sessions may be held at the studio or on location as discussed.

What to Expect

When you book a session with me, you are gaining almost a decade worth of experience. That means countless hours of education and hands on training, all aimed at providing you with the highest quality portrait experience. My goal is to create emotion and a genuine connection; these are not your traditional stiff posed, forced grin images. Whether it’s every wrinkle in a newborn’s toes, or that little scrunch of a nose your toddler makes when they laugh, capturing those memories we do not want to forget is what’s important to me.

01
booking

Booking your family, newborn, or children session with me is as easy as clicking “Ready to book” on any page of my website. Upon inquiry, you will receive a timely response where we can discuss your vision for your photo session.

02
preparation guide

You will be emailed a preparation guide catered to the type of session you have booked. The prep guide includes tips and tricks to prepare for your session, outfit ideas and questions to help me get to know you better.

03
your session

Your session will be held on-location on location in or around Springfield, or at my studio. Outdoor sessions are scheduled during “golden hour,” the beautiful hour before sunset. Studio sessions can be scheduled whenever. I have a variety of gowns for use for maternity clients, as well as a plethora of wraps, headbands, hats and props for newborn sessions.

04
your gallery

I aim to deliver your proofs within 48 hours of your session. All of my clients are able to choose the photos they would like from their session. Once chosen, your images will be hand edited and delivered to you via email about 2 weeks later.

newborn photographer springfield illinois

Newborn photography sessions are typically booked during the second trimester as I only shoot a limited amount each month. They are held around 10-14 days after baby’s birth and scheduled during weekday mornings. I have taken the time to curate packages that fit many different families’ needs. All of my work is baby led meaning, I always have baby’s comfort and safety in mind and do cannot guarantee a certain pose, if baby is not comfortable.  Payment plans are available.
