tELL ME mORE!

In person, via phone or zoom call we cover everything there is to cover pertaining session details!

Contract and a retainer are completed to hold session date. Client portal is activated to keep track of payments, questionnaire and planning forms.

Communication starts from day one. We send out a questionnaire to learn more about your family or party and help plan the fine details of your session.

Some clients enjoy planning their session wardrobe themselves and others need and want more assistance. We offer outfit guides for all seasons and offer hands on help if desired to finalize your session wardrobe.

Its the big day! If we aren't shooting in studio, I usually arrive a little early to get my bearings on location. We will pick the best spots per the lighting and time of day to capture your portraits.

Depending on the type of session we are capturing, post production typically takes 2-3 weeks and up to 4-8 weeks for full general events. Adjustments, color correction, artistic touches and blemish control is done on all your images.

We schedule your one on one reveal appointment where we go through all of your images together. We will finalize your image selections together and set up your online sharing platform.

Your final images and any designed products are delivered.
And if you so oblige, we love having our clients share reviews of their experience!

I am a portrait photographer that specializes in empowerment of women by creating self-inspiring and healing experience through photography.
Everyone deserves to to have a better relationship with themselves and feel a sense of wholeness and beauty!

I am a small business owner but I am also a mom, a wife and a friend to many. I am also a women of very strong faith and I love using my God given gifts to serve so many amazing women and help better their lives.

I have many years of past struggles where I too wrestled with self esteem issues, guilt, lack of faith and even the after effects of abuse. No one should live a single day in this world without knowing how truly loved they are and without allowing their beautiful soul to shine!

Through God's grace and guidance, I have discovered that my purpose in life is to lead others, lift up and even help heal other women who are stuck in struggles like I once was too! I now work to empower and inspire woman just like you and I through teachings and amazing experiences by way of photography.

OUR CLIENT TESTIMONIALS

You can expect
custom planning with each client

Do you travel for events and portrait sessions?

Of course! I am local to Holland MI but I travel all through-out Michigan. I get requests for beach locations a lot so it is convenient to live near the water. I have a list of favorite beaches if you need help with finding a beach location, I got you!
I also travel to clients homes, specific session locations requested and all across Michigan for general events.

What is the starting investment for portrait sessions?

Sometimes our booking fee varies a little bit but for most of our portrait sessions, a $199 retainer fee is required at booking to hold your session date and for events, a $299 retainer is due to hold the event date. The retainer fee does not include any prints or products. In some portrait session types, it covers booking your hair and makeup artist and in all cases, it covers your session time.

Typical client investments beyond that will vary greatly but you can expect an average of at least $350 - $900 per portrait session. General Event Photography can typically range from $600 - $2000

Do you have backup equipment in case of equipment failure?

We absolutely do! For larger events, it is typical to see myself or colleagues shooting with dual cameras. This has many benefits but one of those is also about file handing. For many of our events or sessions where both cameras are not needed, our spare is kept tucked away as a back up in the event of an emergency. If equipment failure were to happen, our goal is to quick switch out cameras with little to no disturbance of the capturing of the event.

Will we have download and print rights to our images?

I have specific information on this in my client contracts but the short answer is yes, all images that are PURCHASED by the client will be paired with a digital version that can be downloaded, shared and used for print. I am a full service studio so if desired I can have all your prints and artwork needs fulfilled with one of y amazing professional labs.
