TIMELESS PORTRAITS
I would consider myself a specialist in working with PEOPLE (no modeling experience necessary!)
With my 15 years of photography experience, I now work in these genres for portraits:

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING
While we are not models, Rae made us feel like ones. She directed us how to pose and what to do in the photos. Rae was very kind and had such a positive energy. It was so easy to work with her.
We never looked as good in any other photos before. We received so many compliments on the pictures, and they turned out exactly as we envisioned.

frequently asked questions
WHAT DO WE DO IF IT RAINS?
I definitely don’t want anyone to look like a wet dog in their photos so I am happy to reschedule in case of bad weather. I recommend not worrying if the weather says it may be bad until a day or two before since the forecast changes so quickly. But we’ll definitely figure out a new plan!
frequently asked questions
How long does it take to get back images?
My turn around time for a portrait session is typically 2 weeks or less. Let me know if you have a deadline for some reason and I can make sure to get what you need for it!
I will deliver images as a a downloadable online gallery, which you can also share with friends and family. You can also order professional products from there as well!
frequently asked questions
WHAT SHOULD WE WEAR?
If picking out outfits feels overwhelming, I’d love to be involved to help with recommendations!
I send over a pinterest outfit inspiration boards for different kinds of sessions to help with what I think looks great visually, and if you send over a photo of a piece you love but want to figure out what matches, I love to give my suggestions.
frequently asked questions
We're awkward & my kids don't sit still
Don’t worry, I know you’re not professional models and most people feel the exact same way! It’s my job to give you fun and easy direction so that you get photos that feel natural and not forced.
I have two kids of my own, and let me tell you, I’m blown away if there’s a kid that does that I ask them to the whole session. It’s just a thing I’m used to! Relax in knowing that I understand and we’re gonna make it as entertaining for them as possible.
frequently asked questions
What time should our session be at?
I typically love sunset (or sunrise) time for photoshoots, but most locations allow a little extra leeway with trees, shade etc. I will recommend the best time frame based on the location we select.
You’ll have to drag me kicking and screaming if you want to do a photoshoot at noon during the harshest time of day. Otherwise, I’ll guide you.
