Why shouldn't it be? From your initial consultation and design appointment until the day of your session, we are working with you to choose every detail so that you session speaks to your heart, your family and your legacy. We will spend the time with you before your session to get to know you, find out what you need, and what you truly want. We will customize your session so that it tells your story and so that you get exactly what you desire, including hand designing heirloom products that fit your style, compliment your home, and will stand the test of time.
We know these images are your memories that will be cherished forever and we don't take that responsibility lightly. Not only are our heirloom products handmade and beautiful but they will hold these precious memories and moments from your photo session so we want to make sure you love them. We will guide you through the process of deciding what products to purchase, letting you touch and feel our studio samples and we even will show you what these products will look like on the walls of your own home with our amazing software. We don't want you to purchase anything that you dont absolutely love so you choose which images you want and how you want them printed, not us. All of the products we offer are made to last, we have sourced the most elegant, wall worthy handmade products made by craftsmen that have a passion for what they create. Everything you choose will last forever and will be passed on for generations as memories, just like your parents wedding album was.
Although we stand behind the importance of printed memories we know that every one likes to have images to share with friends, family and on social media so we don't ever make you choose! Every image you choose will come with a matching digital file for you to share wherever you would like along with the physical printed piece so you get the best of both worlds!
Do you want a photographer to simply snap some images, hand you a thumb drive ands that's it? Or would you like a personal custom luxury experience built around you? I mean honestly, any time that you have received a thumb drive from a photographer, did you ever do anything with them or are they still sitting on that thumb drive? Exactly what I thought! We strongly feel that doing so is doing a huge disservice to our clients, almost like doing half of the job and then stopping there. These memories are too important to just sit on a thumb drive. Remember CDS? Yeah, well those are almost useless and will be soon, and so will a thumb drive some day, but PRINTS and tangible product last. Why hire a photographer to take photos if they aren't meant to be seen, shared and enjoyed. We all live in this social media world and we know that many place a huge importance on having the digital copies of everything. We aren't saying that they aren't important or valuable, but I promise once you hold our products in your hands you will understand why you and your children deserve the best.

During our ordering appointment, I’ll provide mock-ups of how the artwork will look in your space, allowing you to make confident decisions. This personalized service ensures you receive the highest quality products that are tailored to your family’s needs.

Absolutely! I know how important it is to include your furry family members in your portraits session. Before the session, I’ll ask a few questions to ensure the studio environment is a good fit for your pets. As long as I feel it's safe, your fur babies are more than welcome to join in the fun!
We recommend booking your photography session as early as possible, ideally 3-6 months in advance, as we limit the number of clients each month to ensure personalized attention. If you’re interested in a last-minute session, feel free to reach out—we may have availability during slower months, but it's not guaranteed. CLICK HERE TO BOOK NOW!
Maternity photography sessions are ideal in the third trimester but can be done anytime during your pregnancy. Newborn photography sessions are best within the first 3 weeks, when babies sleep deeply and can be safely posed in those snuggly positions we all love After your baby arrives, we’ll find the perfect time based on you and your baby’s unique needs. Milestone photography sessions are best done when your baby can sit unassisted, and cake smash photography sessions are ideal around their first birthday.
You don’t need to bring anything unless you have a special family heirloom or personal item you’d like included in your photo session. I provide everything—from props for newborns sessions to cakes for cake smash sessions and designer gowns for maternity sessions. For family sessions, you may need to bring clothing for certain family members, but I’ll guide you through wardrobe choices and you can always use anything from my client closet. Our Sterling, VA photo studio is fully stocked with drinks, snacks (including maternity and toddler-friendly options), and entertainment to keep your family comfortable.

The length of your photography session depends on the type and setups involved. For newborn photo sessions, expect 3-4 hours as it takes time to safely pose and soothe your baby into a deep sleep. Maternity photography, family photography and milestone photography sessions ( cake smash photography ) typically last 1-2 hours. I don’t enforce strict time limits, ensuring we capture everything you desire. My focus is to make the experience enjoyable and relaxed, so we can capture natural smiles and genuine interactions without feeling rushed.
Each session requires a session fee of $200-$400 to book, covering consultation, session time, access to luxury props, the couture maternity client closet, and in-studio hair and makeup services. This fee doesn’t include digital images or artwork. After your session, you’ll have an ordering appointment where you can select and purchase your favorite images. There’s no minimum purchase—you only buy what you love. Clients typically invest between $1,000-$4,000 on images and custom artwork, with flexible options for packages or individual prints.

A print-based photography studio means that all clients leave their sessions with printed artwork. I believe in the importance of printed art and displaying your memories and milestones in your home. I believe that it is so important to have your family images printed. Research studies have proven that prominently displaying portraits of the family improve a child’s self-worth. It’s one thing to hire a professional, it’s another thing to actually do something with the images. Therefore my goal is to make sure that none of my client's memories end up stuck on a hard drive. That being said, I do understand the importance of receiving digital copies of your images to share on social media. That is why every image that is purchased in art form will be accompanied by the matching digital copy. CLICK HERE TO VIEW OUR PRODUCT OFFERINGS!
