There’s something truly bittersweet about watching your baby grow up. One moment, they’re curled up in your arms, barely able to hold their own head up, and in the blink of an eye, they’re taking their first steps, speaking their first words, and discovering a world full of wonder. Each milestone feels like both a triumph and a little goodbye. As they grow, so do the memories, leaving behind an undeniable ache in your heart. I’ve been thinking a lot lately about how quickly our children grow up. In those first 24 hours in the hospital their little faces seemingly change by the actual hour. I remember almost feeling panicked to get enough images of their details throughout the first few days because the change happens that fast. And as they grow older, the changes slow but somehow get sneakier. Before you know it, they are all grown up and you’re not quite sure how it happened. Sometimes even from month to month those changes seem incredible.
We need opportunities to capture those fleeting details more than just once a year or once every few years. With this in mind I’m happy to announce a new offering for 2025.

How does it work?
You will have 12 opportunities during the year to reserve your sessions. Your membership includes 3 petite sessions for the year to use for your family, maternity, milestone, or headshot/branding session needs. Each month I will host a petite session event that you can participate in or choose to wait for the next one. Its up to you!
Do I have to pay monthly or can I pay up front?
You can absolutely pay for the year up front. There is a 10% savings when you pay for the year up front and a 5% savings for quarterly payment plans.
What do I get?
Your Pure + Simple Membership includes three 15-minute petite sessions for the year, 10 digital images at each session and various printed artwork pieces depending on which selection you make. Collection one includes one matted 5×7 fine art print. Collection two includes a Matted Heirloom linen bound custom album, and collection three includes both a matted album and a framed 8×10 (or smaller) fine art print.
Are they outdoor or studio sessions?
Locations will vary! Outdoor, indoor and studio locations are all possible for the year. Locations, dates, and details will be announced 3 months in advance so you have plenty of time to plan for which sessions you’d like to participate in.
If I want to do more than 3 sessions can I add on to my membership?
Absolutely! Additional petite sessions can be added for $400 each. Add as many as you’d like for the year up to nine!
I can’t make it to 3 sessions during the year, what do I do?
Extend one of your sessions to create more focused time for each of your children or to include a grandparent. Sessions must be scheduled within the 12 months of your membership start date. Membership fees are not refundable.
Are there any sessions I cannot book with my membership?
Newborn sessions are not available for the Pure + Simple membership. Newborn sessions are exclusively available for the full session experience.
How many images will I get with each session?
Your membership includes 10 digital downloads for each petite session. More often than not, there will be more images in your gallery that you will choose from. More images can be purchased for $100 per image or $200 for the full gallery download at each session.
Can I use the client wardrobe?
No. The client wardrobe is reserved for full sessions only. However, I will have style guides and shopping links available for all members to make outfit planning a breeze!
Is there a maximum number of people that can be included in my session?
I am a lover of big families. However, because of some of the limitations at certain locations and time constraints the maximum number of people allowed for a petite session is six. If you have more people in your family, please reach out and we can chat about booking you a full session!
How long will it take to receive my gallery after each session?
Gallery links will be sent out to members 5-6 weeks after the session takes place.
Can I cancel my membership at any time?
If you’ve paid up front, you can cancel at any time. Monthly and quarterly payment plans have an early cancelation fee that adjusts based off of how many sessions you’ve used and how much time is left on your contract.
