Announcement: I will be taking an extended break from photography and will not be booking sessions beyond May 31, 2020 to spend more time with family and doing some personal photography projects. I appreciate all the incredible support I've gotten over the past five years!

To me, photography should be more than capturing a posed shot for a Christmas card. It should serve a purpose....make someone feel valued or beautiful, celebrate life at its most joyful (as well as life's most raw and emotional moments), help bring awareness to a cause, or provide an everlasting memory of a loved one or beloved pet. I've taken photos of one-week-olds as well as terminally ill pets. Each photograph represents a beautiful story of incredible love and sacrifice. I'd love to tell your story through photos.

Below are my session fee costs. Every dollar goes to charity, so please consider giving above the minimum session fee, if you're able.

Senior Session Packages:

Package #1 ($100 minimum):

Includes a 30 minute session, 1 location*, 1 outfit, 15 digital files and online gallery

Package #2 ($200 minimum):

Includes a 60 minute session downtown Springfield or open field*, 2-3 outfits, 30 digital files and online gallery

Package #3 ($350 minimum):

Includes 2 hour session downtown Springfield and open field*, unlimited outfits, 50 digital files and online gallery

*Suggested location option(s). Locations are limited to the Springfield area. If you'd like to have your photos taken 10 or more miles outside of Springfield, please add an additional $50 to your session fee. We can discuss location options prior to your session.

Full & Half Session Packages:

Full session ($200 minimum):

1 hour + 25 images (a link to download your photos will be sent to you via email)

Half session ($100 minimum):

30 minutes + 15 images (a link to download your photos will be sent to you via email)

Large Family (8+ family members) ($250 minimum):

I love taking extended family and multi-generational photos! I often try to accommodate requests for individual family photos, too. This often exceeds the hour time frame and requires extra hours of editing. So, for combined families who also request individual family photos, please take this into consideration. You'll get: 1.5 hour session + 30 images (a link to download your photos will be sent to you via email)

For sessions 10 miles or more outside of the Springfield area, I ask you add an additional $50 to your donation (to the organization you choose to support). See the list below.

Mini Sessions!

Be on the lookout on my Facebook page for these short, discounted sessions!

At this point, I am not booking wedding sessions.

Before the photo session, I'd love to connect with you via phone or email to get to know you better and get an idea of what types of photos you'd like taken. I want you to feel completely comfortable with me, so it will be helpful if we chat a bit beforehand.

Please expect an email with a direct link to your photos within 14 days of your photo session. Download your photos then send them to your favorite company for prints.

*Checks made payable to Friends of Sangamon County Animal Control (FSCAC)...the nonprofit organization I've chosen this year. Payment is due in full at your photo session.

I'm thrilled to partner with you to help support the Springfield community! It is my desire that together, we can shine our light and spread hope to those in need!
