the “Complete” session - $500

• About 60 minutes

This option gives us plenty of time to settle in, wander a bit, and let the real moments happen — the laughter, the chaos, and everything in between.

(Most families choose this option)

A calm, minimal space where we can focus on your family, your connection, and maybe a few genuine smiles along the way.

A Few Helpful Details

Just some friendly answers to questions I hear most often to help you feel relaxed and ready for your session.

Do you work with all kinds of families?
Absolutely. Love is love, and family comes in many forms. I'm here for families of all shapes, sizes, identities, and backgrounds. Everyone deserves to feel seen and celebrated.

What should we wear?
Just be yourself! No need to match—unless that's your thing. There are no "bad" colors or patterns here. Be bold or simple, whatever feels most like you.

Do you help choose locations?
Absolutely. I have favorite spots I can recommend, or we can shoot somewhere special to you—even in your home.

What can we do during an in-home session?
Anything that feels like you. Think rainy-day activities: baking, games, fort-building. Something a little out of the ordinary often brings out the best energy.

What if my home isn’t perfect?
Perfect is overrated. We’ll focus on rooms with the best light and activities that matter to your family.

What if it rains?
If the forecast looks rough, we’ll make a weather call 12–24 hours ahead and reschedule if needed.

Do you travel to Omaha?
Yes! I shoot in Omaha often. There’s a $75 travel fee for sessions outside of Lincoln.

What if we need to reschedule? Is there a fee?
Life happens, I totally get it. If you need to reschedule, there’s no additional fee. We’ll just find a new date that works for both of us.

Can you photograph extended families?
Totally. Just reach out for a custom quote for larger group sessions.

Do we get digital files?
Yes! You'll receive beautifully edited images in a private online gallery—ready to download, share, or print as you like.

When will we see our photos?
Your gallery will be ready within 5–7 days after the shoot.

What if I don’t see a session that fits my needs or budget?
Let’s talk. I’m happy to create a custom option—everyone deserves to document their story.

How does the process work?
Start by filling out the contact form. We’ll choose a date, I’ll send a quick online contract and deposit invoice, and you’re all set. It’s secure, simple, and easy—then we shoot and have some fun!
