Outdoor Session Update

I’ve been back open for over a month now and it’s been so wonderful seeing many familiar faces and several new ones! Outdoor social distancing sessions are going great and I’m so delighted to still be able to capture these important milestones. I will be continuing with outdoor sessions still for awhile; covering everything from maternity, newborn, milestones, and family sessions. For anyone new looking to schedule here are a few things to consider when booking with me!

  • Props and outfits are still provided, everything is sanitized before and after every session. These can be used only if you feel comfortable.
  • Cake smashes are still an option, I require that you bring the cake and I will provide some simple decor. There is no additional fee for this (the Smash and Splash Add-On is only available with a studio session)
  • Newborn and 3 month old sessions will be handled more along the style of a family session, and can be priced so. My posing will be directed from afar.
  • Sessions an hour or longer can be held at an outdoor location of your choosing. Sessions shorter than an hour will be held at my local park in Brooklyn Park, MN. There is no additional fee for these outdoor sessions since it is all I am currently offering.
  • Since I consider myself an artist that paints with light I do bring along lighting equipment (all images above were taken with my lighting). This allows me to properly light the subjects and balance the overall look properly. It is amazing what a little supplemental light can add to a portrait, how much life it brings to the eyes! See below for an example of without and with my lighting!

Thank you to anyone who has taken the time to read this over! Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions and if you would like to proceed with scheduling a session.
