The Signature Experience
this is photography for those who want to be fully taken care of—from the very first conversation to the moment your finished artwork is in your hands.
the signature experience is a thoughtfully guided process designed for clients who value artistry, intention, and heirloom-quality pieces. this artwork will live in your home for years to come, and will be enjoyed for generations. nothing feels hurried, and you’re never expected to figure things out on your own. my role is to guide you through every step so you can simply enjoy the experience and treasure the end result.
let's get on the phone! i want to hear all about your pup(s), your human family, and your vision for a session! i'd be happy to answer any questions you have, and we'll schedule the next steps.

HOW IT WORKS
you should genuinely like your photographer. the best photos come from real connection and comfort, and my goal is to create an experience that feels relaxed and enjoyable for everyone involved. i want you to feel completely yourself during our time together, whether we’re in your home or out on location.
if you value working with someone you actually enjoy being around, we’ll be a natural fit.
will we be a good fit?
Calm Direction for Real Personalities
i love clean, classic images, natural looking poses, and rich, true to life color. my goal is to create photos that feel timeless, not trendy. these are the images you’ll still love years from now, whether they’re hanging on your wall or pulled up on your phone to show off to friends.
more than anything, i want your photos to feel like you. the laughter, the connection, the quiet in-between moments, and the way your family naturally interacts all matter more than stiff poses or forced smiles. if you value images that feel genuine and emotionally meaningful, i'd be honored to work with you to capture this season of life for your family, no matter what that looks like.
Guided from
Start to Finish
before your session, i’ll guide you through location choices, styling, and overall aesthetic so everything feels thoughtfully planned.
most people tell me they feel a little awkward in front of the camera. that’s completely normal. during your session, you don’t need to know how to pose or what to do. i’ll guide you in a relaxed, natural way so the whole process feels easy.
my sessions are laid-back, easy going, and focused on capturing real connection, so your photos feel genuine, rather than stiff or overly posed.
after your session, i’ll help you explore your gallery with product samples and mockups, making the ordering process easy and enjoyable.
Portraits Designed to Be Lived With
your photos aren’t meant to be forgotten.
i plan and design sessions to create images you’ll actually enjoy, share, and enjoy every day; photos that feel just as meaningful years from now as they do today.
if that sounds like what you’re looking for, i’d love to work with you. book your discovery call and let's plan something beautiful together!

the signature experience session fee is $2,275 and includes an $800 print credit to apply toward your custom artwork. custom wall art begins around $800 per piece, making it easy to create a single heirloom piece if that’s your goal.
many clients, however, choose curated gallery collections, albums, and artwork for multiple spaces in their home. most signature experience clients invest between $3,000 and $10,000 or more on their finished collection.
average investment
if the signature experience feels like more than you’re looking for right now, there are still ways to work together. simple sessions and styled minis offer a more relaxed and streamlined approach, while still keeping the same level of care and intention behind every image.
