How pricing works
My pricing is simple and flexible: you book your session with a session fee for the time, planning, session experience,
editing, and proofing gallery, then choose the digital image collection you love after you see your images.
- Session Fee reserves your date and covers planning, session time, editing, and your gallery.
- Digital Collections are purchased after the session so you only buy what you truly love.
- Booking Incentive: add an image collection at the time of booking and receive 40% off that collection.
- Professional Prints are available for heirloom-quality products.
Neurodivergent-friendly promise: Sessions are patient and flexible — breaks, movement, comfort items, and accommodations are welcome.
What you can expect
- Planning support with locations, timing, and wardrobe guidance
- Gentle posing + prompts without stiff “stand and smile” pressure
- A calm, patient approach for kids, teens, and adults
- Proofing gallery + clear image selection options
- Optional guided ordering for prints and wall art
You do not have to figure everything out before reaching out. I can help guide you.
If you’re still unsure what this experience looks like, you can start here.
If price has felt hard before, especially after stressful or disappointing sessions, I understand that. Part of the value here is not just the final gallery. It is having an experience that feels more patient, more flexible, and more supportive while it is happening.

Neurodivergent-Friendly Photography (full promise)
If you have ever worried your child will not cooperate for photos, you are not alone.
Your child does not need to perform to be worthy of beautiful photos.
- Patient pacing: warm-up time, breaks, movement, and flexibility are welcome.
- Sensory-aware planning: we can choose quieter locations and calmer prompts.
- Gentle guidance: no pressure, no shame, no forced smiles.
- Connection over perfection: we focus on the real, meaningful moments.
What if there is a meltdown? Then we pause. We breathe. We give time.
Meltdowns are communication, not misbehavior, and you will never be rushed or judged here.
FAQ
Do you help us pose?
I guide you gently the whole time with prompts that feel natural. You do not need to know what to do — I have you.
What if my child has sensory needs or anxiety?
Totally okay. We can plan around what helps your child succeed, including breaks, movement, comfort items, quieter locations, and choices instead of demands.
When do we choose our images?
After your session, you will receive a proofing gallery and choose a digital image collection, unless you decide to add one at booking to receive the 40% savings.
How do I book?
Book by paying your session fee. If you already know you want an image collection, you can add it at booking and receive 40% off that collection.
