"It takes very little

to be very happy."

Honestly, how we shoot is not your traditional family photos.

And that is because I love to get the wildly fun, imaginative, and candid moments of your kids and your family.

(So, if you're into that kind of imagery, you've come to the right place.)

We like to let your kiddos run around, play tag, and pick flowers for mom, and make every frame look like something from a folktale.

Currently. we have three different types of lifestyle shoots

The first option is a shoot like this one:

(everything from these two photos + above > )

These are planned completely with you and your family in mind, whether it is 2 people or 15 people. These shoots are completely custom- date. time, duration, unlimited edits back, so on and so forth.

Every shoot like this one varies in price depending on how many people will be in the photos. However, a typical family of 5 for an hour shoot will be around $470 for their session.

Lifestyle Sessions

Second option for the
budget savvy

Lifestyle Mini Sessions

Lifestyle mini sessions take place at various times during the year. Typically, we have a date booked specifically for our clients every other month to get updated photos of their kiddos for birthdays, milestones, or just because they're the best kids, and you deserve all the photos you can.

In the fall, we pick 4-5 dates for the holiday mini sessions to occur and offer them to our community FIRST before going public.

These sessions are quick, 15 minute spots at a discounted rate. Typically, the first holiday mini's open up in mid-October, and the last one is in the beginning of December.

With these sessions, there is a cap on how many edits you will receive back.

We know typically these sessions work best for busy parents who need to make birthday cards, holiday cards or likewise, so turn around on their images is about 1 week.

Reserving your session is simple.

When the dates open up, all you have to do is let us know what location and time you'd like. If open, we will email you an contract agreement VIA Honeybook. Once your retainer is paid, your photo session is booked! The remaining balance will not be due until the week of the shoot. You can also check here to see what mini sessions are available to book!

The way it works:

 

The GWM package includes 3 mini sessions to cover 3 months, 6 months, and 9 month photos. Also included in one 1 hour in-home session perfect for a maternity shoot, lifestyle newborn shoot, or 1 year old photo shoot. This package is $900 (separately booked, it would be $1,164)

You can also add one of the 1 hour shoots to your package for $300 (originally $470).

At the end of our GWMP time, I will put together a memory book for you of your little, and their growing journey to keep for the years to come.

q+a

01

How quick do the mini's sell out?

They go pretty quick, honestly. In 2022, we were sold out on 2/3 mini's we hosted. Jump on the shoot that calls out to you most when you see it, because it has happened quite a few times where families missed their opening they wanted.

02

Do you do maternity and/or newborn photos?

I absolutely offer maternity shoots to everyone no matter if we have worked together in the past or not. Newborn sessions, however, are only reserved for my previous clients/couples, or the GWMP. (And honestly, being a previous client is as simple as booking an announcement or maternity shoot).

03

Do you photograph milestone birthdays/ cake smashes?

Absolutely!! There's nothing better than a baby covered in cake and celebrating their birthday! With these shoots, I will come to you and set up studio in your home. This helps because your child will be more comfortable, you don't have to rush anywhere + cause unnecessary stress, and once the smash is done, little one can go straight to the tub.

04

How do the GWM families book their 3 month, 6 month, and 9 month sessions?

Once the dates are booked for the studio, they are given to you first. You can then pick which session works best for you, or if you're going to wait until the next month to book. Once I hear back from all my GWM families, the dates are then released to  our subscribers, then to the public. You will alwyas have first pick.

05

Can someone gift me the GWM package? Can I put it on my registry?

Absolutely! You can head to the store on our site to locate photo shoot gift cards. With some registries, like Babylist, you can add any URL link as a gift idea. You can also put on some registries group gift ideas and put the total amount. From there, you can take what the group has contributed and just go through the steps like normal for booking.

06

Do you offer mini's in the summertime?

Yes! You will be able to find what mini shoots are coming up VIA our Facebook group, newsletter, or waiting for the date to be released to the public. Joining the FB group or newsletter is preferred being the dates open up first to our GWM families, then to our subscribers.
