PHOTOS THAT ACTUALLY END UP ON YOUR WALLS
Every session is full-service from start to finish — and every one ends with something on your walls, not a folder on your phone.
Newborn
Newborn sessions are unhurried by design. We work at baby's pace, take whatever breaks we need, and shoot in your home or my downtown Cleveland studio. I've never left a newborn session without something worth printing.
The newborn session fee is $300, with digital collections starting at $700 and heirloom collections starting at $1,100.
Family
Family sessions are for your family as it actually is — not a polished version of it trying to perform for the camera. We shoot on location outdoors, in your home, or at my natural light studio in downtown Cleveland. Kids who won't sit still, toddlers with strong opinions, big kids who are too cool for this — all of it is welcome.
The family session fee is $300, with digital collections starting at $700 and heirloom collections starting at $1,100.
This version of you only exists once. Right now, right before everything changes. Maternity sessions are available outdoors, in your home, or at my natural light studio in downtown Cleveland.
The maternity session fee is $300, with digital collections starting at $700 and heirloom collections starting at $1,100.
MATERNITY
She made us feel
so relaxed.
She made us feel so relaxed.
—SAMANTHA
Being a first-time mom, I wasn't sure what to expect or how our little one would do. Mackenzie helped us feel relaxed and roll with the punches during the session. I plan to use her for years to come.
Your camera roll already has thousands of photos. What it probably doesn't have is a framed portrait above the sofa, a gallery wall at the top of the stairs, or an album on the coffee table your kids pull out on their own.
Every session is followed by a reveal appointment where we go through your images together and figure out what belongs in your home. Framed wall art, heirloom albums, fine art prints — I'll help you choose what works for your space and your walls.
PHOTOS YOU'LL ACTUALLY LIVE WITH
The Artwork
I WAITED THREE YEARS TO PRINT MY OWN PHOTOS.
I WAITED THREE YEARS TO PRINT MY OWN Newborn PHOTOS
Three years. And I do this for a living.
I had the files. I loved the photos. I just never got around to doing anything with them. There was always something else — another session to edit, another deadline, another reason to put it off. And then one day, I realized my daughter was three and nothing was on the walls.
That's when I understood what I was actually supposed to be doing for my clients. Not just taking photos. Getting them out of the folder and into the home. Because if I couldn't close that gap — knowing exactly what to order, knowing how good it would look, knowing how much I'd want it on my wall — I had no business handing a busy mom a gallery link and wishing her luck.
That's why every session ends with a reveal appointment. Not because it's a nice extra. Because it's the only thing that actually works.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Yes, digital collections are available on their own, starting at $700. Digitals are also included with every heirloom print and product collection, so you're not choosing one or the other. I still recommend the reveal appointment though. It's the only thing that reliably turns good intentions into artwork on your walls.
The session fee is $300, and that covers your planning call and your session, plus reserves your date. From there, your reveal appointment is where you'll choose your artwork. Digital collections start at $700, and print collections start at $1,100.
No session goes perfectly — and that's never been a problem. My job is to create the conditions for real moments to happen, and real moments don't require perfect cooperation. I come prepared to meet your kids wherever they are that day.
I have a natural light studio in downtown Cleveland and shoot on location at client homes or outdoor spots throughout Cleveland and Northeast Ohio. We'll figure out what makes the most sense for your family during our planning call. I serve Cleveland and Northeast Ohio, including Pepper Pike, Chagrin Falls, Beachwood, Shaker Heights, Bay Village, Westlake, Avon, Gates Mills, Solon, and Hunting Valley. Not sure if you're covered? Just ask.
For family and maternity sessions, a few months ahead is a good rule of thumb, especially for fall. For newborn sessions, I recommend reaching out during your second trimester. I hold a flexible window around your due date and we confirm timing once your baby arrives.
Rescheduling is always accommodated with no penalty. Session fees are non-refundable but transferable to your new date.
Within two weeks of your session, I'll have your images edited and ready to view. We'll schedule your reveal appointment — in person or over Zoom — where you'll see your photos large and in order for the first time. Together we'll choose your artwork, figure out what works for your walls and your home, and place your order. Finished artwork arrives approximately four to five weeks after that.
Yes. Artwork orders can be broken into payments — just mention it when you inquire and we'll work something out that fits your budget.
Yes. Grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins — all welcome. Extended family sessions start at $1,500 and include your planning call, the session, editing, a reveal appointment, and a base collection of artwork and digital images.
