Full Sessions
This hour-long session is the perfect option for your maternity, family, anniversary, and milestone portraits. Not sure how to choose the right session length for your family? Check out this blog post to help you determine the perfect session type.
Let me tell you something, mama. I am with you and I see you. This mom life is not for the faint of heart, and I am proud of how hard you work for your family. I am on this beautiful, chaotic journey with you, and I want to be your cheerleader.
I know that your photo session is so much more than just smiling into a camera for an hour. You want your photos to look the way that motherhood feels on the best days. You are hoping to capture the magic of your toddler’s mischievous smile, the way your baby grabs your finger, the way it feels when your child runs to you and jumps into your arms. These moments are precious to you, and so they are important to me. Your full photo session is a time to have fun with your kids and celebrate the beautiful life you have now. Right now. I get to come along and document it for an hour.
You don’t need to lose 10 pounds or “drop the baby weight.” You don’t need to wait until your marriage is “perfect.” Now, this beautiful messy season, is worth capturing. Let’s bottle some lightning together, shall we?!
How it works
Outdoor sessions need to be within an hour or two of sunrise, evening sessions within an hour or two of sunset. Indoor sessions are more flexible on time - we can shoot at my home studio, rent a studio space, or even take photos in your home. I will help place you and your family into natural-looking, joyful poses, and capture you in both posed and candid moments. I want you and your family to relax, have fun, and be yourselves - let me do the rest!
When you sign up, you’ll have immediate access to my comprehensive Style Guide. I created it to help empower you to style your own photo sessions like a pro, but if you would still like some help, I’m here for you! I have a Client Closet with beautiful pieces you can borrow for your photos, or I can help you choose something flattering and perfect for you. My number one goal is for mom to feel confident and beautiful. If you love the way you look in your photos, you’ll be more likely to share, print, frame, and display them. I want you to LOVE how you look in your portraits.
Locations
My home studio
Ignore the mess at home and come take photos in my studio. I have racks of beautiful clothing options for just about everyone, a simple bed with white bedding, a gray couch, beautiful hardwood flooring, and perfect lighting. Just show up and let me do the rest!
Your house
No need to leave the house, I’ll come to you. Let me capture your family playing board games, baking cookies, snuggling on the couch, or playing in the backyard. How special to capture your family in your own home!
Outdoors
I have a bunch of favorite locations all over Dallas, just let me know what kind of vibe you are wanting. Sunrise and sunset are going to be the best timing for an outdoor session. In the winter, we probably want to aim for the evening, and in the summer, we will want to beat the heat with an early morning session.

FAQ
How are my images delivered, and what is the turnaround time?
Within 48 hours after our session, I will send you a proofs gallery with all usable images. You will then select your 30 favorite images for me to edit in detail. You will have the opportunity to leave me notes, if you have specific editing requests, and you will also be able to purchase additional images. Once I have your final selection choices, I will deliver your beautiful gallery within 3 weeks. You will receive your high-resolution edited digital images in an online gallery where you can view, download, share, and print.
How long is the session?
Your session fee includes about 60 minutes of shooting. This is plenty of time to grab the essentials, but you can absolutely book more time if you are worried we won’t be able to get everything in an hour. I offer additional time in 30 minute increments at $150 each. This also increases the number of images in your final gallery by 15 images.
Why is there a price difference between a newborn session and a full session?
I have been doing this for a long time now, so please trust me when I say that a full session (one hour) is just not enough time for a newborn session. Babies need lots of breaks, and it is important to me that our session pace is based on what is best for your little one. If you are looking to book a session to capture your newborn baby, please book a newborn session, not a full session.
Why is there an additional fee for extended families?
The additional fee accounts for the extra time required in the editing stage. I try to be very efficient with my time, so I can often shoot a family session in one hour, whether it’s a family of 4 or a family of 20. However, in the editing stage, there are more faces in the photos. More faces means more TLC that each photo will need.
When is payment due?
I require a retainer fee of $50 upon booking, and the remaining balance is due at the time of our session. Your session fee includes 30 high-resolution, edited digital images (in both color and black & white). These will be delivered to you in a private online gallery where you can view and download, as well as share with family and friends.
What should I wear?
When you book with me, you will receive instant access to my comprehensive Style Guide, with lots of tips for all situations. I also have a Client Closet with options for mama and littles, so make sure you take a look at all the options I have for you!
Anything I missed?
If there is anything else you would like to know before booking, please feel free to reach out via email or text. I am looking forward to working with you!
