FAQ
What is the difference between a family session and a mini-session?
My family sessions typically last around 60 minutes and include 30 beautifully crafted images, with the option to purchase additional photos. These sessions offer a relaxed, personable atmosphere for creative freedom, natural interactions, and various photos.
Each session is fully customizable to meet your family's unique needs and expectations, featuring:
- A mix of posed and candid shots
- Multiple group combinations
- Color and black-and-white image options
Family sessions are ideal for families with younger children or two or more kids. They provide time for playfulness, connection, and capturing your family's visual story.
Mini sessions are offered twice a year at select locations in the spring and fall. These quick and convenient 15-minute sessions are scheduled back-to-back and include:
- Eight high-quality, professionally retouched images
- The option to purchase additional photos
- A fast, efficient experience—perfect for busy families
Stay tuned for release dates and booking details each season—these sessions fill quickly!
How can I find out when you are offering mini-sessions?

Where should we take the photos?
That’s entirely up to you! At-home sessions tend to be more relaxed and can be scheduled anytime during daylight hours. Reserved kids often feel more comfortable showing me their room or favorite toy, making it a special way to document your family in this season of life.
If you're looking for a more stylized, editorial, or conceptual look, I recommend outdoor sessions at a park, ice cream parlor, or in an urban setting. These are perfect for families with children ages three and up. Keep in mind that the best lighting for outdoor shoots is early in the morning or late afternoon, which can limit scheduling options.
Where is your studio?
My studio is located at 3812 Lookout Drive in Nashville, within the Sylvan Heights neighborhood. It’s a converted house, offering a cozy and creative space for photoshoots.
How do you handle it if my kids aren’t cooperating during the shoot?
As a mother of four with a background in education, I understand that kids can be unpredictable. With over a decade of experience photographing children, I’m skilled at capturing beautiful moments, even with energetic or reluctant little ones. Rest assured, I’ll make the session enjoyable and stress-free for your family!
I found exactly what I want on Pinterest. Can you recreate that for me?
While Pinterest is great for inspiration, it's important to remember that variables like lighting, weather, landscape, and backgrounds are out of my control. We'll work together to adapt and create beautiful photos, even when things don't go as planned!
What should we wear?
When you book your family session, I'll send you a detailed style guide to help you prepare. I highly recommend professional hair and makeup for women, and a fresh manicure is always a great touch! If you're unsure about outfit choices for your family after reviewing the guide, feel free to reach out. I'd be happy to offer fashion advice!
May I view the unedited (RAW) images?
RAW images are not delivered. With years of professional experience, I carefully select the best images from your session. These chosen images are edited, retouched, cropped, and prepared for presentation in your custom gallery. Unedited images are not shown or provided.
What kind of camera & lens do you use?
I primarily shoot with a Nikon Z8 and occasionally with a Nikon Z7 when needed. I use a fixed-focal-length Sigma Art lens for outdoor sessions, which means no zoom, allowing for a more intentional composition. I switch between three Sigma Art lenses for indoor photoshoots, depending on the type of session.
How soon will my pictures be ready to view?
My turnaround time is up to ten business days.
