I will help you through the entire process of your portrait experience. Together, we'll make sure you are ready for your photo session and aren't left wondering...
“What are we supposed to wear for this thing?”
“What am I going to do with my hair and makeup?”
“Where should we go for our photos?”
“I don’t know how to pose myself for photos….”
“What if my children don’t cooperate?”
“What if my baby doesn’t sleep?”
“I have all these photos, now what?”
Don't worry, friend. I've got you. I'll walk you through the entire process. My goal is to make the experience as stress-free as possible, so you can relax and show up ready to love on your family at your session.
I believe your portrait experience is about more than me just showing up and taking your photographs...

Prep for Your Session
Once you've completed the booking process, we'll schedule a zoom consultation call to plan outfits for the whole family. I'll come prepped with some style boards for you to choose from and I'll show you the clothing options you can choose from in my feminine & baby wardrobe. Together, we'll make sure all of your outfits fit together beautifully so that your family looks amazing and you'll absolutely love your images.

Session Day
On the day of your session, your job is to show up ready to love on your sweet family. And let me do the rest. Whether we are in the studio or out at my favorite natural area, I'll help guide your family through different scenarios so we can get a lot of variety in your images. There will be opportunities for each family member to get some one-on-one time with each other showing off each of those precious familial bonds. We'll laugh, play games and have lots of fun!
the day has arrived and it's time for us to create some gorgeous memories together!
Reveal & Ordering Session
About 2-3 weeks after your photo session we'll get on a zoom call to look at your images together and select your favorites. During this time we'll work together to create custom heirloom artwork for you to cherish forever. You can choose from heirloom albums, custom framing, matted prints and more! We'll make sure your photos don't get lost on your computer, but actually come to life in your home for you to enjoy every day.
I know you are excited to see Your photos and I promise it'll be worth the wait!
Artwork Delivery
Production of your heirloom artwork takes about 4-6 weeks. Once everything is ready, I package it up beautifully for you and make a plan for delivery. I love watching families open up their artwork in-person. Seeing those huge smiles and excitement over new family heirlooms totally makes my day.
Delivering everything to your door. Giving you more time to love on your family.

Ashlie is awesome!!! Book her, you won't regret it. During our newborn photography session she was like a small spot of calm during that hectic first week. When I look at our photos that she took I totally melt!!

Clients invest $1200+ on their portrait experience. Which typically includes the portrait session as well as heirloom quality artwork and/or digital images.
Your Investment
For family sessions the answer is whenever you want to! I typically book about 3-6 months out, so the earlier you reach out the better!
When considering maternity & newborn photography, I recommend reaching out in your second trimester. Maternity photos are best done during weeks 32-37 and Newborn photos are best done in those first 5-14 days after birth.
Absolutely! My goal is to make your portrait experience as stress-free as possible. After you complete the booking process we'll set up a zoom planning call to discuss outfits for the entire family.

Newborn sessions take place at my home studio in SE Portland.
Maternity & milestone sessions can either take place at my home studio or at my favorite outdoor location which is about 10 minutes from the studio. We can chat more about this when you book.
Family sessions take place outdoors at my favorite natural area which is located about 10 minutes from my studio.
Digital images can be purchased during your reveal and ordering appointment. Most of my clients choose to purchase their digital images in addition to heirloom albums and custom framed artwork.

A typical portrait session lasts anywhere between 30 min. to 1 hour.
Newborn portrait sessions take anywhere between 2-4 hours depending on how baby is doing. I allow for more time than might be needed in case baby needs extra feedings, diaper changes, or some snuggles. Following all of my suggestions on how to get a sleepy baby typically allows us to get the session done in 2 hours.
