I'd love to hear all about what you're envisioning for a session! During your consultation, we will chat about who's going to be there, what the most meaningful moments you're hoping to capture will be, and I'll give you some ideas on what to wear to feel your best.
If you're a parent, I'd guess that your calendar is already busy. We offer consultations virtually via Zoom/ FaceTime, or in person at the studio. Some parents will FaceTime during their lunch break at work, some bring their kids with them into the studio, and some will even ask for an evening time slot that's not publicly listed. I know that these photos are important to you and I will do my best to accommodate your family's scheduling needs.

The day of your session is when all the magic happens! Whether it's a golden hour sunset to enjoy with your kids or a couple of hours to relax in the studio while I work with your newborn, the session is where your entire vision comes to life.
Newborn, cake smash, and milestone sessions all take place in the comfort of my studio. Maternity and family sessions have the option of taking place either in studio or outdoors. Wherever we end up, we will create beautiful memories for your family to enjoy for decades to come.

One unique feature about our studio is that you get to see the images the same day that they're taken. About an hour after the session end time, we will meet up at the studio for you to view your images, select your favorites, and place your portrait order.
For daytime studio sessions, many parents will fill the time before the ordering appointment with a lunch outing in East Aurora. For outdoor evening sessions, many parents will drop the kids off at home with a sitter, grab ice cream or drinks, then meet me at the studio. For any scheduling conflicts that would not allow you to enjoy same day ordering, the appointment may be postponed to a later date as well.
HOW IT WORKS
Frequently Asked Questions
When is the best time to book a maternity session?
I recommend contacting me during your second trimester and planning the session for when you're around 32-36 weeks along. During this time, you will still have a beautiful bump for your photos, but won't be too uncomfortable to get around yet.
Do your maternity sessions take place outdoors or in studio?
It's your choice! Some moms to be love being able to be outside in the fresh air, others prefer the comfort of the studio. Whatever will work best for you.
What if we planned an outdoor session and the weather doesn't cooperate?
If the weather doesn't look like it will be good for our session, I will reach out to you to reschedule. Moving to the studio is also an option, however if your heart is set on being outside, we will find another day that works!
I don't know what to wear, do you have recommendations?
Absolutely! This is the core of our design consultation together. If you don't already have a vision for how you'd like the session to look, I will help get the creative juices flowing with Pinterest boards, color palette inspiration, and even links for what to order. I want you and you to look and feel your best the day of the session.
I want an outdoor session but I don't know where to go. Do you have recommendations?
I sure do! On top of the more common spots in Buffalo, I've also done a good amount of location scouting to help achieve the look you're dreaming of in your images.
Do your sessions include family and sibling photos?
Absolutely! This will be a big change for the whole family so any spouses and other children are more than welcome to attend the session.
Where is your studio located?
The address of my studio is 21 Elm St., East Aurora, NY 14052.
