The Experience
We Plan Together
I’ll get to know what you’re hoping for and who you’d like to include. We’ll choose a location and outfits that feel comfortable, and I’ll help you plan the details, including options from my client closet if you’d like to use them.

We Make It Yours
We can make photos of you, with your partner, with your children, and a mix of all three. I’ll help plan the wardrobe and location, and we’ll leave room for the moments that happen naturally when your family is together.

Choose What You Love
See your photographs and the magic we created at the reveal. You look through the options and decide what feels right for you. This is when you select and purchase your digitals and products.

CLIENT TESTIMONIALS

S Family
After meeting with Kelly for a consult, my nerves were calmed, and after the maternity shoot, I knew we made an excellent decision to hire Kelly. She was FANTASTIC with my 3 yo, who was less than enthusiastic about having photos done. She was also super great with my 5 yo, who was overly enthusiastic about the sessions. Newborn photos were wonderful. She was patient when baby needed breaks, didn't try to contort the baby into a bunch of bendy positions, and from the photos, you couldn't even tell that he was having a fussy afternoon.

Kelly is amazing!! I love the variety of options in her client closet with such beautiful dresses! I was grateful to have multiple options through all our stages of life as she had done our engagement, maternity, and family photos! She was so patient with our toddler and LOVED that she accommodated the photo shoot around him and his needs and even improvised when he didn’t want to sit. The photos turned out absolutely incredible! 10/10 would recommend her!

Every session that we have had with Kelly has been memorable not only due to the photos that she brings to life but by the experience that we have with her. As a mom trying to hassle the husband and children together for photos the scene is always chaos but Kelly truly brings a sense of calm and understanding. She cultivates the session to meet us where we are at and with young children, the emotions are ever changing. We will always recommend her, my favorite sessions and photos have been with her.
Your love and excitement doesn’t need a script.
Some couples want to dress up and go somewhere beautiful. Some want adventure and something unique. Others would rather bring their dog, take a walk, capture memories of their home, or choose a place that means something to them. Tell me what sounds like the two of you. I’ll help shape the session around that and I’ll guide you enough that you can forget about trying to “look natural.”

ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS I HEAR OFTEN
-
Even if you think you're awkward in front of the camera, I’ll guide you every step of the way so your photos look natural, effortless, and full of emotion. My clients rave about how easy and fun sessions are and they love how natural they look!
-
I firmly believe that the decision of whether and where your photos are shared should be entirely yours. You decide what, if anything, I have permission to share. We’ll talk about your preferences before the session. You can keep your entire gallery private, approve particular images, or choose images that don’t identify you. Your decision won’t change the care I put into your session.
-
To be totally honest, most of my clients utilize my AMAZING Client Closet - 99% of what you see women wearing in our images belong to the studio!!! I have a great selection of maternity friendly outfits. You are more than welcome to wear something of your own; my Style Guide has my tips, color pallets for easy coordinating, and so much more! I am always here for ideas as well to help coordinate you all!
-
Clients LOVE my quick turn around time. You'll have any digitals you purchase as early as just DAYS after your session! And most products like albums or wall art in 2 weeks or less.

I do not put a hard time limit on sessions. I never want you distracted by time or worried we are running out of it. But for planning purposes I understand it’s nice to have an estimate. Usually maternity sessions are 45 minutes to an hour. Factors like if we hike to have an adventure location, add a second location, etc can make the session longer.
-
The ideal time to schedule your maternity session is between 28-34 weeks, or in months 7-8. During this period, your baby bump is beautifully round, and you’re still comfortable enough to enjoy the experience. Waiting too long may result in not feeling your best or putting it off till the very end of your pregnancy may mean baby comes before you get a chance to have your session.
Since maternity sessions are best scheduled in the early third trimester, it’s recommended to book in your second trimester. This ensures availability and gives us time to plan the perfect session.
-
You’re in good company. I’ll give you both direction throughout the session, including the little things like where to stand and what to do with your hands. You can focus on each other instead of trying to figure out how to pose.
-
We’ll start with the feeling you want your photos to have and what matters to you as a couple. Maybe that’s the Lake Superior shoreline, your home, a favorite place to spend time together, or somewhere entirely different. I’ll help you narrow down the options.
