Plan on the session lasting about 1-3 hours, these sessions can vary greatly depending on baby's mood. Sessions are captured in the home with the parents and the majority of the session is spent capturing the beauty of being a new parent and or big sis/brother.

Engagement sessions are the BEST way for you to get comfortable with me behind the camera before your big day. Many of our wedding packages include engagement sessions, so please make sure you contact me to receive a complete wedding guide and detailed pricing.

Elopements & Weddings
There's nothing I love more than a good love story, and what better way for me to be a part of a love story than to capture it! Fill out the contact form below to inquire about your wedding date and I'll send you my wedding guide with everything you need to get started planning your big day!
I’ve been a hopeless romantic my whole life, I just swoon over romantic details like the soft light at the beginning of the day, blades of grass as they move in the wind, and the way you gently remove strands of hair from your eyes; it’s these details that I aim to highlight, not brush over, I see them all.
I’ve spent the past decade and a half honing in my skills as a portrait photographer, capturing life, love and everything in between. I studied photography extensively during my time in college, and I’ve interned for some of the greatest photographers of our generation. During that time, stories like yours have inspired me to continue in this work.
In my pursuit to create images that will hold great meaning, my eyes are ever-searching for the fleeting moments that others often miss, and to obtain that I aim to make you feel as comfortable in front of the camera as you are sipping coffee in your favorite cozy arm chair. So sit back and relax, I promise to be just as committed to your experience as I am to my art.

WHERE WILL I TAKE MY PHOTOS?
I am proud to offer my clients a list of great locations for photos. Organized into zones based on proximity to your area, we’ll be able to walk through various locations to choose the perfect backdrop for your senior portrait session.
HOW DO I KNOW WHAT TO WEAR?
Well before your photo session, I always send the Storybook Photography Family or Senior Style Guide to help you better prepare for your session. In the guide, you’ll learn all about what looks good on camera, how to incorporate variety into your wardrobe, and which accessories take your shoot from sweet to stunning. For Seniors I even have an additional list of What NOT to wear, so you know what choices to steer clear of!.
WHEN IS THE BEST TIME OF YEAR TO TAKE MY PHOTOS?
Great question! The answer will vary depending on what you desire out of your photos. The overall feel of your photos is going to boil down to 3 things: Your location, your outfits, and your unique personality/family dynamic. That being said, locations are going to change throughout the seasons, and thus, they can add a whole different element to your photos. If you want a warm and earthy feel to your session, fall photos might be best for you. If you desire a bright happy feel, then there are a variety of colorful locations we can go in spring or summer. If you want pictures in the snow, then obviously we'd need to wait for a good Winter storm. Overall, I'm confident that we can capture you in whatever season and get the desired feel for your session as long as we chat more about your goals and choose your outfits and location accordingly.
WHY SHOULD I BOOK WITH YOU?
