These are not designed for newborn sessions or extended families, but rather a quick no-muss-no-fuss session to capture those kiddos more often! Email to schedule!

I’m happy to help you plan your session! Let’s set up a phone call or discuss details via email if you’d prefer. I can help brainstorm locations and provide my thoughts on the best time of day to take advantage of natural light.
-
Typically I spend 1-2 hours of time with families depending on their needs and group size.
-
I try to stay as flexible as possible with these sessions. If you have an outfit change in mind, or more than one location that you’d like to explore, I’m open to figuring out how we can make it happen! Let’s chat about it!
-
After the session, you’ll receive a preview within a week! I will share this preview privately via your online gallery, but may also post to my blog or Social Media sites.
-
After your session, I will go through all of the image files. Any shots with eyes closed or awkward positioning are removed and your final collection of images will receive professional editing services including color adjustment, exposure adjustment, straightening and minor retouching as necessary.
-
When your images are ready, you will receive a password protected online viewing gallery. All images are delivered as high resolution .jpg files. Downloading the high resolutions files and print ordering services are available. You are not required to order any prints of products from me. Upon payment, your images are yours to print and distribute for personal use.
-
I will select at least 20 images to be professionally converted to black and white. You will receive these images as copies. If we convert something to black and white, you will have the color version too (unless you have added black & white film photography to your session)
-
Please allow 4 weeks for full delivery. Remember you receive a preview within 1 week!
Film photography coverage offers a special aesthetic and feel that’s incredibly hard - maybe impossible - to replicate. The cameras that we use create a perfectly imperfect addition to your gallery. A truly unexpected, in-the-moment, collection of images. If you are interested in learning more or seeing more examples just ask!
Increase the nostalgia factor with film!
Collections start at $150
A bit more about our style and philosophy
We strive to blend a photojournalistic approach with classic portraiture during each of our sessions. Yes, we will do the very best we can to create a classic, timeless, portrait with everyone looking at the camera. However, in our opinion, the magic really happens when we loosen up. When we play with our kids. Throw stones into Lake Michigan. Smell the flowers. Get ice cream or jump in the water. Don’t be afraid to wear regular, everyday clothes. Or ask us to photograph a bike ride, a picnic, or hang out time on the porch. We can’t wait to meet your family! -Courtney & Hali
