Portrait Sessions
April 21, 2009
Portraits are a perfect time to catch you and your loved ones at their best. In every session, I take time to get to know you and to make sure everyone is relaxed no matter if it is a photo of the whole family, a portrait to catch the milestones of your new baby, or a portrait session with a soon-to-be-grownup high school senior.
All sessions can be done in my at-home studio (great natural light, numerous backgrounds, lots of props- even some fun outdoor locations)
Or sessions can be done on-location either at your home or at an outdoor location. There is no additional charge for locations within 40 miles of Brant, MI (my home studio location)
All packages include a print package. Substitutions are not allowed, but a la carte orders are welcome in addition to your package items. Prints can be of multiple images/poses, there is no limit on the number of images/poses you can order.

Newborn Sessions: Usually lasts 3-4 hours to allow ample time for baby to rest, feed and be calmed. I typically come to your house for a newborn session to ensure mom and baby are as comfortable as possible (no cleaning before I come, please! I’ve been there and done that enough times to know you are in no shape to be cleaning house!) I will bring props, backdrops, baskets, and even lights in case I need them. I usually scout your house for the best light and just do a quick setup there.
Family Sessions: For portraits of babies, kids, and the whole family there are limitless possibilities as far as locations and ideas. I like to get outdoors with you as much as possible as many families are more relaxed there, but I have a great studio setup too for groups of 6 and less.
Most sessions are 1-2 hours depending on how everything goes. Be sure to plan sessions for when kids are happiest and avoid potential melt-down times like meals and naptime. (Been there, done that too!) If we’re outdoors, the best light of the day is in the 2 hours before sunset!
Senior Portraits: Senior year is a very important year for every teenager. I love doing Senior Portraits because each senior is so unique and usually full of great ideas and great outfits! Most sessions last 2-3 hours depending on the number of locations and outfit changes needed. (Multiple locations are possible and can be split to different days if needed.)
