The planning is done - now it's time to just show up and HAVE FUN! I'll guide you through natural posing so you don't need to worry about anything but being happy!  If you have little ones, expect tickle fights, snuggles, and lots of loving on everyone.

The Process

Choose from a variety of frame options for custom museum-grade artwork! Together we go over all the options to make this a true piece of art for your walls.

3. Museum Quality Artwork

Bring your own heirloom clothing, or borrow from my Heirloom Wardrobe - either way we keep the session light and fun to get authentic expressions from your little one. 

2. Photo Day

inquire for full investment details

Once the session is booked, let the fun begin! We will find a date and time that works well for your family, and then I'll send over my Style Guide! Sessions take place in studio space located in Virginia Beach.
