MY service offerings

I offer a variety of services. Learn more about what I can offer you below

Families

My family sessions are a mix of posed and play. Whether you are posing or playing, neither needs to be perfect. You and your family can show up as you are. My goal is always first and foremost to capture the connection you have with each other. If you focus on one another, the rest will fall into place.

Seniors

Senior sessions are a beautiful moment in time to capture how far your child has come in the 18 years of their life. I want to create images for you and your child to see how they have blossomed into the person they are now, as they look forward to a new season of life.

Films

I offer a variety of films, from weddings, births, and branding. But my heart and gifts are in Family Films. I love capturing the mundane of life, I want to show you the magic, in the mess, and slowness and the simplicity of life. Family films are like old home movies that you and your kids will watch again and again.

Babies

Babies are babies for the first two years of life. I can capture a swaddled up tiny baby who sleeps all day, to a baby who is happiest on their back in gurgling with their toes in their mouth, or a baby learning to walk for the first time, stumbling around, putting everything in ther mouth.

Events

When it comes to the events I am available for; think small. I can capture Weddings with 50 or less people in attendance, to a birthing room with you, your partner and a midwife. The events I do are BIG in life and small in size. Please reach out for more details if you would like me to capture a special event in your life.

Portraits/Branding

When it comes to the images I create, to help you build your brand and/or photograph your portrait, .the thing I care most about, is helping you shine through the photos. It's not so much about what you look life, but what you bring to your life and to the work you do.

Package OPTIONS FIT FOR YOU

As you are browsing my pricing options, keep in mind that I also offer a sliding scale to those whose life circumstances make it difficult to afford a photo session. Each package offers a SLIDING SCALE.

Sliding Scale Guidelines

you will have the option to choose between Low Budget and Regular. For this model to work you need to be honest with yourself and your financial situation. But while I ask you to consider these factors, please don’t stress about them. Pay what feels right. I will not ask questions or quiz you on your payment choices

Consider paying less on the scale if you:

  • are a person who experiences discrimination due to systematic oppression
  • have medical expenses not covered by insurance.
  • are eligible for public assistance
  • are an unpaid community organizer
  • are supporting children, family members in need or have other dependents
  • are an elder with limited financial support

Consider paying more on the scale if you:

  • own the home you live in
  • have investments, retirement accounts, or inherited money
  • travel recreationally
  • have access to family money and resources in times of need
  • work part-time by choice
  • have a relatively high degree of earning power due to level of education, gender privilege, racial privilege, class background, etc. Even if you are not currently exercising your earning power, I ask you to recognize this as a choice.

 

If you would like to share these thoughts please feel free to do so. You can use the visual and also share my words. I only ask that you give credit as I do. My words were inspired by Alexis J. Cunningfolk, Meghan Gilmore, Claire Louise Travers, Ride Free: Fearless Money, Margeaux Feldman. Andrea Vollgas
