welcome

I have gathered some of my most commonly asked questions to help you as you prepare for your session. If you find you have more questions, please reach out anytime.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • DO YOU HAVE A STUDIO?

    Yes, I have a natural light studio space located on the square in Minden, Nebraska. The perfect place for newborn, baby milestone, motherhood and maternity sessions. It’s also a great place for a cozy family session.

  • WHEN SHOULD WE BOOK?

    I recommend booking your session as soon as you’ve made the decision to work with me. My calendar fills quickly, especially during peak months (May through October), with sessions often reserved 6 to 12 months in advance. To ensure your spot, don’t wait—reach out today and let’s start planning your session!

  • WILL YOU TRAVEL?

    Yes, absolutely! If the destination is further than 30 minutes from Minden there is a milage fee of .95 cents per mile to cover gas and my time. If further than 2 hours from Minden contact me for a fixed travel fee quote. I plan to take sessions in Alaska July or August of every year.

  • HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE TO RECEIVE MY IMAGES?

    I take my time and care creating meaningful art out of your images and do not prefer to rush this process. You will receive a proof gallery 1-2 weeks after your session and your final gallery another week or two after you’ve selected your images. 3-4 weeks is my goal for delivering your finished gallery.

  • WHERE CAN I SEE CLIENT CLOSET PIECES?

    You can schedule a fitting appointment where you can peruse and try on pieces from my client closet. I recommend scheduling an appointment 3-4 weeks before your session. I also keep a highlight on Instagram labeled "Client Closet" which I try to keep up to date.

  • WHEN SHOULD I BOOK MY NEWBORN OR MATERNITY SESSION?

    The sooner the better as I book a limited number of sessions per month, and to ensure we have plenty of time to plan your wardrobe. For newborn sessions we will pencil a date in around your expected due date and revisit it once baby is here. Newborn sessions are best held within 5-14 days of babe's birth.

  • HOW CAN I ORDER PRINTS & PRODUCTS?

    You can order professional quality prints and products through me or directly through your gallery and shipped to your door. You will also receive a print release included with your session that allows you to print from any retailer of your choosing.

  • ARE ALL SESSIONS HELD IN YOUR STUDIO?

    All newborn and sitter sessions are held in the studio. However, if you prefer an outdoor newborn session, I recommend booking a sunset family session. In-home sessions are available upon request. For maternity sessions, you can choose the studio or the outdoor sunset option from May through October.

  • WHAT SHOULD WE WEAR?

    After your booking is complete, you will receive information on planning for your session along with a style guide that will answer this question more extensively. Styling is a huge part of the process and part of the magic in creating images that look and feel like the work you have seen from me. The colors and styles chosen all play a large role in the final look of your images. I offer a few styling perks to help make the process easy and fun, including a Style Guide, Client Closet, and complimentary use of Style & Select, an online styling tool.

  • HOW DOES PAYMENT WORK?

    To secure your session, a session fee is required at the time of booking (fee varies based on session type chosen). This fee reserves your spot on my calendar and covers the preparation, photographing, and editing time involved in creating your images. You will then choose a package based on how many digital images you would like, you can also add on product if you would like those included. After your session, you’ll view a proof gallery and choose the images you want included in your package. Packages can also be upgraded at this time.

    For a full pricing guide fill out the form on the Contact page. Interest-free payment plans are available to make the process even easier.

  • HOW DO I SECURE A SESSION?

    When you’re ready to book fill out the form on the Contact page. I will be in touch via email within 24 business hours with available dates for your preferred month or due date time frame.

“We are absolutely over the moon with how our newborn photos turned out! She was extremely thorough during our session and made sure we got all the photos we wanted! She had a variety of outfits and props for us to use and was super helpful in the planning for what we should bring and wear for our photos! Will definitely be calling her for pictures in the future! :) “
