Growing Up Client Benefits
Families who invest in a Growing Up Collection receive additional benefits designed to make documenting your family's journey even easier.
-
As your family grows, you'll continue working with a photographer who already knows your family, your preferences, and your story. This creates a more comfortable experience and a cohesive look across your galleries over time.
-
Many mini sessions sell out quickly. Collection clients receive early access to booking before sessions are publicly released, giving you the first opportunity to reserve your preferred time slot.
-
Growing Up Collection clients receive 15% off seasonal mini sessions while their collection is active. Whether it's spring blooms, fall colors, Christmas setups, or other special offerings, you'll enjoy additional opportunities to document your family throughout the year.

Life with little ones can be unpredictable. Collection clients receive additional flexibility when rescheduling due to illness, weather, or other unexpected circumstances.

What to Expect
Before the Session
Whether you're preparing for a maternity session, welcoming a newborn, celebrating a first birthday, or documenting another year of childhood, we'll work together to create a session that feels natural and enjoyable. I'll help guide you through location selection, outfit coordination, and any session-specific planning so you can feel confident and prepared. My goal is to make the process simple and stress-free, allowing you to focus on enjoying these fleeting moments with your family.
During the Session
Growing Up sessions are designed to be relaxed, flexible, and centered around your child and family. Little ones don't need to sit perfectly still, and parents don't need to worry about creating picture-perfect moments. I'll provide gentle guidance throughout the session while allowing plenty of room for natural interaction, play, and genuine connection. The best images often come from the unexpected moments, and my goal is to capture both the milestones and the personalities that make this season unique.
After the Session
Following your session, I'll share a few sneak peeks on social media within the same or next day so you can relive the excitement right away. Your final images will then be carefully curated and professionally edited before being delivered through an online gallery within two weeks of your session date. Galleries will remain available for download for 90 days and include personal printing rights, allowing you to print and share your images however you'd like.
