Special Occasions, Families, and Events

Family Sessions, Birthday Parties, Elopements, and More! Booking a photographer for your private event is a great way to off load the task of taking photos so that you too can enjoy your special occasion. You are busy being the host and you shouldn't have to split your time between your guests and making sure you capture all of the special details of the day. Let us capture those special memories for you so that you can cherish the images for years to come. Whether is it your family's annual photo session, a bridal or baby shower, a corporate event, or graduation party, we would love to be a part of your special day.

Locations

Whether you are looking for a field of wild flowers, the urban vibes of the city, or a private venue reserved just for you, we can recommend the perfect location that will match the vision you have. We love discovering new locations to give your session a personalized touch and revisiting our most favorite spots - whichever you choose, we will make sure your vision comes to life!

Senior Style

Your Senior Session is the perfect time to show off your personal style. We recommend choosing at least three different looks to create a variety of images and poses. And of course we can not forget to highlight your activities and hobbies from your time in High School. So be sure to bring along any meaningful items like your letterman jacket, instrument, ball and glove, lacrosse stick, or anything else that represents YOU! We love incorporating your sports, activities and passions into your session to help tell your story and showcase what truly makes you so special.

Frequently Asked Questions

What should I bring with me to my photoshoot?

If you are booking a Senior Session, I will send you a session guide with all the details and ideas of what you should bring with you. If this is a family session, you don't really need to bring anything with you, but I always recommend that you bring a brush or comb, tissues, and wipes. Kids can be messy and you don't want to be stuck in the middle of a field and suddenly need a tissue. For ladies, I strongly recommend lip gloss or lip balm. Even if you are a no make up type of girlie, you still want your lips to look well hydrated and plump in your photos. If you want to bring accessories or props, let's discuss that at the time of your booking.

What kind photo packages do you offer?

Every client's needs are different. Some clients want a quick mini session for a social media announcement and some clients want a full two-hour, multiple outfit changes kind of session. My mini sessions start at $300. My Senior Sessions are priced based off of length of time, wardrobe changes and location. Please email me for a session guide.

How long does it take to get our photos?

Senior sessions and Mini sessions have a turn around time of no more than two weeks, depending on the time of the year. During peak seasons (fall, Christmas, holidays, graduation) sessions could take closer to three weeks for delivery. Weddings and special events will be returned between six to eight weeks.

Can you recommend any good locations?

Absolutely! During your consultation we will discuss the kinds of locations you like the most and find one that will work best for the look you want. Please keep in mind some locations do charge a usage fee.

WHAT SHOULD I WEAR TO MY PHOTOSHOOT

Everyone always wants to look and feel their best for their photos so you should pick something that you feel comfortable and confident wearing. For family photos I suggest choosing outfits for each family member that has coordinating colors, avoid busy patterns or small pin stripes. Senior Sessions will receive their own guide to help with outfit selections.

WHERE ARE YOU LOCATED?

I am located in Canton, Georgia but travel to most of the Metro Atlanta area serving all of Cherokee, Fulton, Cobb, Forsyth and Pickens counties. I am available to travel to other locations, but travel fees will apply.
