What to Expect

I'M SO HAPPY YOU'RE HERE, AND I CAN'T WAIT TO SPEND TIME WITH YOUR FAMILY.

BEFORE OUR SESSION, I WANT TO SHARE A LITTLE ABOUT HOW I WORK, SO YOU CAN SHOW UP FEELING RELAXED INSTEAD OF WONDERING WHAT YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO DO.

I DON'T REALLY POSE PEOPLE. I'D RATHER SPEND OUR TIME TOGETHER GETTING TO KNOW YOU, AND LET THE PHOTOGRAPHS COME FROM THAT. THE MOMENTS I LOVE MOST ARE THE IN-BETWEEN ONES: THE LAUGH RIGHT AFTER THE "REAL" PHOTO, YOUR LITTLE ONE TUGGING ON YOUR SHIRT, THE WAY YOU LOOK AT EACH OTHER WHEN YOU THINK NO ONE IS WATCHING. THOSE ARE THE ONES YOU'LL COME BACK TO YEARS FROM NOW.

WHAT I WANT MOST FOR YOU IS TO FEEL SEEN. AS MOMS, WE'RE ALMOST ALWAYS THE ONES BEHIND THE CAMERA, AND SO OFTEN WE'RE MISSING FROM OUR OWN FAMILY'S STORY. I WANT YOUR CHILDREN TO LOOK BACK SOMEDAY AND SEE WHAT IT WAS ACTUALLY LIKE TO BE WITH YOU.

SO HERE'S WHAT THAT MEANS FOR OUR SESSION:

YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE PERFECT. KIDS MIGHT CRY, RUN OFF, OR REFUSE TO LOOK AT ME. ALL OF THAT IS PART OF IT, AND HONESTLY, SOME OF MY FAVORITE IMAGES COME FROM THOSE MOMENTS.

WEAR WHAT FEELS LIKE YOU. SOMETHING COMFORTABLE THAT YOU CAN MOVE AND PLAY IN.

FORGET THE CAMERA. I'LL GUIDE YOU GENTLY HERE AND THERE, BUT MOSTLY I'LL JUST ASK YOU TO BE WITH EACH OTHER. CUDDLE, TICKLE, WANDER, TALK. I'LL BE NEARBY CATCHING IT.

THIS IS ALSO WHY I GIVE EACH FAMILY MY FULL, UNDIVIDED TIME. IT'S HOW WE REALLY CONNECT, AND HOW I GET TO SEE WHAT'S UNIQUE TO YOUR FAMILY.

IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS BEFORE WE MEET, OR ANYTHING YOU'RE NERVOUS ABOUT, PLEASE TELL ME. I'D LOVE TO HEAR IT.

SEE YOU SOON,
