Your Gallery & Print Store

Private online gallery
Your edited images are delivered in a private, password-protected online gallery. From there you can view your photos, download them in high resolution, mark favorites, and share the gallery with family.

Professional print store
Every gallery includes a built-in print store. Order archival prints, canvas gallery wraps, and albums produced by a professional print lab and shipped directly to your door. The included high-resolution downloads are always yours to keep; the store is there when you want lasting, gallery-quality pieces for your walls.

Add-ons
Want more than your included images? Additional digital images and a full-gallery unlock are available right in your gallery.

What to Expect

Simple planning
You share the look and feel you want, whether that is at home, outdoors, urban, or golden hour. I help guide location and timing based on your family, your pets, and the overall vibe you want.

Relaxed direction
You will not be left wondering what to do. I give light direction and prompts that keep things moving without making the session feel stiff or overly posed.

Kid and pet friendly flow
Sessions are built to stay flexible. Breaks are normal, movement is expected, and treats, toys, and quick resets are all part of keeping things easy.

Clean editing and delivery
Final images are professionally edited and delivered in your private online gallery with high-resolution downloads and the print store ready to go.

Frequently Asked Questions

What should we wear?
Neutral tones, soft textures, and minimal logos usually photograph best. Coordinated colors tend to work better than perfectly matching outfits.

What is the best time for kids?
For younger children, mornings are often ideal. For older kids and full families, golden hour near sunset usually gives the most flattering natural light.

What if it rains?
If weather becomes an issue, we reschedule at no additional cost. Overcast conditions can also create soft, flattering light.

How do I get my photos, and can I order prints?
Your edited images arrive in a private online gallery with high-resolution downloads. The same gallery has a print store where you can order professional prints, canvas, and albums shipped straight to you.

How do I prepare my dog?
Bring treats and a favorite toy. A short walk beforehand helps burn off excess energy. Clean collars and brushed coats help the final images look more polished.

Need something more customized, like multiple locations, multiple pets, a birthday session, a surprise proposal, or extended coverage? That can be quoted based on your goals and the time needed. A non-refundable retainer of $100 reserves your full session date and applies to your total.

What a Mini Includes

Every mini is a 30-minute session at one location, with 10 professionally edited, high-resolution images delivered in a private online gallery with downloads.

If you want more time, more images, multiple locations, or extended family, a full session is the better fit.

Mini or Full Session?

Choose a mini if
You want a quick, affordable update, a single look, and a small set of polished images. Great for a seasonal refresh, a holiday card, or a milestone you want documented without a big production.

Choose a full session if
You want more time, more images, multiple locations or outfits, extended family, or a bundle. Full session details and pricing are listed above.
