1. Reach Out and Share Your Story
When you inquire, I ask real questions that help me understand your season of life, what you care about, and how you want your session to feel. Not just the logistics, but the heart behind it.
You also share what locations feel honorable to your experience, whether it is somewhere sentimental, familiar, grounding, or simply a place that feels like you. This helps me choose a location that adds meaning, not just aesthetics.
2. A Real Conversation to Build Comfort
We voice chat, zoom or hop on a call so we can get comfortable with each other. You can share your vision, energy, and any worries or hopes you have. My work begins with connection, and this moment sets the tone for the entire experience.
3. Choose Your Style: Documentary or Prompted Action
Your session can flow in multiple ways:
Documentary Style
Natural, calm, and honest. I follow your rhythm and capture real interactions and unposed moments.
Prompted Action Style
Light guidance, movement, and playful prompts that create authentic connection without stiffness.
Traditional Style
Smile say cheese. Staged perfectly for those traditional portraits.
Most clients choose a blend, and we’ll discuss what feels best for your story.
4. Custom Session Planning, Created Around You
Once we know we are a great fit, I craft your personalized session plan.
This may include:
• mood boards
• outfit guidance
• locations aligned with your story
• movement and prompt ideas
• a session vibe overview
Nothing is one-size-fits-all. Everything is thoughtfully tailored.
5. Locking In Your Date
To officially reserve your session, you complete a simple contract and pay a 25% non-refundable retainer. This secures your date and keeps the rest of the process smooth and stress free.
6. Your Session, A Slow and Safe Unfolding
The session begins gently. We ease in through conversation, music, grounding, and natural direction. You never have to force anything. I guide when needed, and step back when the moment speaks for itself.
This is where the realness, the softness, and the color of your story appear.
7. Premier Session, If You Choose It
The Premier Session is a dedicated appointment where you experience your images for the very first time.
During this guided reveal, we sit together and:
• view your gallery in a curated, emotional way
• explore your product collections
• design your gallery walls
• create custom album layouts
• build pieces that will live in your home, not just your phone
It is intentional, personal, and designed to help you choose heirlooms that feel meaningful and true to your story.
8. Wall Gallery Soft Launch and Album Design
After the reveal, I offer complete the design services.
Wall Galleries
I mock up your chosen images directly onto photos of your home so you can visualize layouts and sizes. You get a soft launch preview to finalize your design before ordering. Sometimes these can be completely finalized during your premier session!
Albums
I design handcrafted, narrative-focused albums that highlight emotion, movement, and storytelling. You choose your favorites and I build the layout with intention and flow.
9. Hand Editing with Purpose
Each image is hand edited individually to reflect the mood, color, and emotion of your session.
10. Gallery Delivery That Feels Like Opening a Memory
Your final gallery arrives in a beautiful online space where you can download, print, and share your images. It feels like opening a memory, not just receiving files.
11. A Creative Relationship That Grows
After we work together, you are part of the Walks of Life family. Many clients return for maternity, newborn, branding, family chapters, and personal seasons.
We build a long-term creative relationship where each milestone is documented with care and connection.
