investment
This is not a transactional experience. It is a guided, full-service portrait journey designed to create artwork meant to be lived with — hung on your walls, passed through your hands, and handed down to your children's children.
Rather than selecting packages before you have ever seen your images, all artwork and collections are chosen at your in-person Reveal and Ordering Session — after you have experienced your photographs and seen how they feel. This ensures every family invests intentionally in what matters most to them.
The Session Fee — $500
Your session fee is your investment in the full portrait experience. It is due in full at the time of booking and covers everything from your first conversation to your final image reveal.
Your session fee includes:
— Professional hair and makeup by a personally selected artist
— Indoor studio or outdoor location session
— One hour portrait session
— Pre-session consultation to plan styling, tone, and vision
— Wardrobe and texture guidance to complement the heirloom aesthetic
— Professional editing focused on timeless, neutral tones
— Your in-person Reveal and Ordering Appointment
The session fee does not include digital files or physical products. All artwork and collections are selected at your Reveal and Ordering Appointment, after you have seen your images.
Your Session
On the day of your session, you will begin with hair and makeup by an artist I have personally selected to be part of this experience. You are in good hands from the moment you arrive.
From there we will meet at our chosen location — whether that is a beautifully curated indoor studio or an outdoor setting that feels like yours. Northern Colorado offers both, and we will have already decided together what fits your vision.
We will spend an hour together — your family, and me — moving at a pace that feels natural, never rushed. I follow your children's lead. I will not ask them to perform or hold a pose that isn't theirs. I wait for the real moments, and I always find them.
Your Reveal & Ordering Appointment
One to two weeks after your session, we will meet again for your in-person Reveal and Ordering Appointment — an unhurried, guided experience where you will see your images for the first time.
Your Reveal includes:
— Viewing your full curated image slideshow
— Selecting your artwork and collections with my guidance
— Designing your wall gallery or album
— Placing and finalizing your order
This is where the work becomes yours. I will be with you every step of the way — helping you see how your images live in your space, which pieces belong where, and what will matter most to you twenty years from now.
Full payment for all artwork and products is due at your Ordering Appointment.
Your Artwork
Printed photographs are at the heart of this experience. At your Reveal and Ordering Appointment, you will select from a carefully curated range of heirloom quality products:
— Fine art prints
— Framed wall pieces
— Canvas prints
— Signature albums
— Digital files and slideshows
Every product is handcrafted and delivered approximately four weeks after your Ordering Appointment. Each piece is made to last — chosen and finished to the standard your home deserves.
A complete à la carte product menu with full sizing and pricing is available upon request.
Collections
For families who want a complete, curated experience, I offer three collections beginning at $1,800 — each designed around the way heirloom photographs are meant to live in a home.
Collections include a combination of your Signature Album, fine art prints, framed wall pieces, slideshow, and digital files — everything you need to fill your walls and your album in one intentional investment.
Your full collection guide — including all three collections with complete details and pricing — is sent after your inquiry.

A note before you reach out
This experience is designed for the mother who values printed photographs, intentional design, and a slower, more meaningful approach to portraiture.
If you are looking for a quick turnaround digital gallery or a self-serve experience, this may not be the right fit — and that is okay. I would rather be honest with you now than disappoint you later.
But if you are the woman who has been quietly saving images on Instagram, who knows exactly which wall needs something on it, who has been putting this off because it has to be exactly right — you are exactly who I created this for.
I cannot wait to meet you.
