Your experience
The Process
01
Session planning
Is there a place that's sentimental to your family? Are you hoping to work around your baby's nap schedule? No idea where to start? I'll walk you through your options and we'll time your photos for the most flattering light.
You'll receive a session planning guide with all the details. It covers how to prepare your family for photos, what to wear, my favorite brands and shops, hair and makeup recommendations, and heirloom album options, to name a few.

02
You'll also have use of the client closet, with over 60 dresses for women, hundreds of pieces for babies and kids, and shirts for men. Plus accessories like blankets, beach bags, swaddles, bows, and bonnets.
Come to my downtown Naples studio for a styling appointment ahead of your session, or arrive to your session early to see what's available.
Want to add florals or other elements to your session? Let's talk. A small smash cake is included with all first birthday sessions.
the session
03
When it's session time, we'll meet at the studio or on location. Your picks from the client closet will be steamed and ready to wear.
I'll guide you through being photographed in a way that sets up your family for candid photos (if it's not already happening naturally, that is.)
My process includes both film and digital photography. I'll often invite kids to help me take photos, pressing the shutter.
There's time for wiggling, playing, and breaks during each session.
Choosing artwork
04
A few weeks after your session, you'll see your photographs at either an in-person design and ordering appointment or in a 48-hour online gallery.
In person, you'll view your gallery and choose your artwork as we look through frame and album samples together.
Online, you'll have 48 hours to view your gallery and browse your framed wall art and heirloom album choices.
In either case, I'm available to guide you through your options.

birth announcements
Send the best ever kind of mail. Custom birth announcements are a sweet way to show off your baby to your close friends and fam. Bonus: A set of 25 is included with every newborn session in a baby collection.
There's just something about seeing your photos in print. You've invested in updated portraits, and you're ready to have finished pieces on your wall without the hassle of figuring out what sizes to choose and how high to hang them. And in SFWL, complimentary installation is included, so you can sit back and relax. (If your kids will allow it, lol.)
These custom books are modern heirlooms in every sense. Start one for your baby's first year, document your family beach getaway, or gift one to the grandparents. In any case, these books will be in your family for generations. It's so easy to start an album... just heart your favorite images and I take it from there.
