Planning Your Session
I feel the best photographs are those that capture true moments! So plan to relax, be yourself, and have a litle fun. I also welcome your creativity. If you have a vision, let me know, and i’ll do my best to try to acheive it for you.
Seniors
Your senior photos should be fun and reflect your style and personality. If you’d
like any photos with school representation, remember to bring your
personal items (i.e. letter jacket, t shirt, etc). Make sure to include
things that show your individuality. Bring along your sunglasses, athletic
uniforms, musical instrument, etc.
Children & Families
As we all know, children can be UNPREDICTABLE... so, it is my job to be
ready for anything! A lot of times parents get frustrated because
sessions don’t seem to be going perfect... but the wonderful thing is
that those small moments in between all the tantrums & chaos are
beautiful. It’s my job to shoot like crazy and try to capture it all! So...
the only job I give you as the parents is to relax & enjoy it! I will do all
the hard work! I will give a lot of direction during the session so you will know exactly what to do.
Newborns
It is best to photograph a newborn within the first 3-6 days of his/her
life in order to capture those snuggly, sleepy characteristics that we
all love in newborn portraits. Newborn sessions last anywhere from
2-3 hours, and my goal is to keep you and your baby as comfortable as
possible. Moms, I know how tired you are in those first days, so plan
on using this time to relax and take a much deserved break while I capture the sweet goodness of your new baby!
Weddings
Approximately two weeks before your BIG DAY, we will meet in person to review ALL the details to be sure all areas are covered. I will have an assistant to help gather everyone and keep us all on schedule as much as possible to help make the day go as smooth and stress free as possbile.
Maternity
I recommend photographing your maternity session within 32-34
weeks of pregnancy. This is the best time frame where you are
showing the most, but haven’t reached that “ready to pop” stage. :-)
Maternity sessions will be planned according to your style and comfort
level. Feel free to bring any personal items to be included in your
photos, such as sonogram pictures, baby shoes, family heirlooms, etc.
Locations
Sessions are offered outdoors at a location of your choice within 30 miles of the Starkville/Eupora areas. If you don’t have anything particular in mind, I will be glad to scout the perfect location to suit your style, whether it be country, urban, or a litle of both! I do offer sessions at my house also, which provides a wooded area with a country landscape.
Studio Sessions are also available, but limited at this time. My current studio is a portable setup inside my home, which is located just outside of Mathiston, MS. It is a small temporary setup, and can only accomodate up to 4 people.
