It's true what they say; the days are long, but the years are short. Don't wait for a special occasion to document your family life. Every day is chock full of tiny moments worth cherishing. The sound of your laugh, your child's current obsession with a specific toy or game, there's beauty in even the most "mundane" moments. This film is the perfect way to capture all the visuals and sounds that make up your life. Give your children the gift of home movies, but way better. This film is closest to freezing time - a visual time capsule for your family to enjoy for generations.

Jolene did an incredible job with our newborn shoot. Not only did the photos come out perfectly but she made the shoot easy and fun. We will cherish the moments she was able to capture forever.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
While I always lean towards natural daylight, I bring professional lighting and use it whenever needed to keep things looking soft and beautiful.
-
Your gallery is linked to an easy-to-use online print shop. The shop is filled with a variety of lab-quality photo products for you to choose from, such as matted and framed prints, calendars, and greeting cards.
-
Yes, I retouch and edit all of my imagery. I apply a general look to your session and do basic skin retouching and color correction. Don't worry if you have a pimple; I will get rid of it. That said, never rely on me fixing it with retouching if you can fix it before the session. The length of time it will take for you to iron a shirt is FAR less than the length of time it will take for me to retouch out wrinkles on every image.
-
There are two factors that should align for your session. We want to aim for a time of day when everyone is generally well-rested, while the light in your home is ideal. For most families the morning works best, while others prefer to shoot after the afternoon nap and end at sunset. Film sessions will take place in the late afternoon so we can capture the prettiest sunset light.
-
Weather permitting, we can absolutely shoot outdoors. Please note that the location will need to be within walking distance of your home.
-
Your prep guide will discuss wardrobe but in general you should keep it simple. This is a snapshot of your life. Be yourself and the photos will shine. Avoid uncomfortable, wrinkle-prone outfits, neon colors, and overly formal attire. If you are looking for a very posed, formal shoot, I may not be the right fit.
-
The beauty of a lifestyle session is that kids don’t have to be ON all the time. I quietly work my way around a scene capturing their love for you without needing to force them into anything. I do believe that if you frame the session as something you are looking forward to, instead of something they have to do, then it starts everything off on the right foot. I play a lot of games with kids and keep it fun and light.
The process
Working Together
Get in touch.
Fill out the contact form with as much detail as you can. From there, we will choose an available shoot date.
Book your session.
Once I have answered all your questions, I will send you a proposal. This proposal will walk you through the four booking stages. You will select your session type, fill out a questionnaire, submit the $250 deposit and sign the portrait contract.
Tell me more.
I will review your questionnaire responses and send you my prep-guide. We can then schedule a pre-session phone call to go over the specifics.
Time to shoot
You will need to submit the session balance before we shoot. On the shoot day, I go with your flow. Your shoot time allows for flexibility to take breaks when needed, without missing out on shots or time. The more relaxed and comfortable, the better.
The gallery
Three weeks after your shoot day, you will receive a private link to a custom slideshow of the edited images from your session, and your image gallery. Your gallery links to an easy-to-use online print shop. The shop is filled with various lab-quality photo products for you to choose from, such as matted and framed prints, calendars, and greeting cards.
Make it last
One of the first things you should consider when planning a photoshoot is how you intend to use the photos. In this digital age, I urge you think beyond social media platforms. These photos are an investment in lifelong memories. Use your print credit and frame these beauties!
