We can connect in person, over the phone or zoom. We will discuss your goals and the logistics of the shoot. The session fee is due upon booking in order to hold your date and time.  

I never rush a session and will not finish until I feel we have enough images to exceed your expectations. Headshot sessions are usually less than an hour. A typical family session lasts one hour, allowing for breaks whenever needed. Senior sessions take 2+ hours. I make sure you are comfortable and even have fun during the whole process.

We typically use our barn studio and grounds. Located on a former Amish farm, we have rustic structures, beautiful stonework, amazing meadows, mature trees, & flower gardens in season.  The studio is perfect for formal portraits, headshots, babies, and little people. If you have your heart set on another location, let's talk it through. There may be an additional fee for on-location work.

If you are being photographed in a group, try for colors and styles which complement rather than match. Simpler is better—especially for two or more children together. Midtones of varying colors photograph well. Solid colors, jeans, sundresses, etc. are great for creating timeless portraits.  Avoid logos/words or distracting patterns. Layered or textured clothing, scarves and hats look great. For adults, long sleeves work best. With children, favorite outfits, dress up clothes and "lovies” are welcome.  If you bring more than one outfit, I will help you choose a few looks. With children, favorite outfits, dress up clothes and "lovies” are welcome.

I invite you in to help you choose your images if convenient.  There is a $50 fee for reopening a gallery
