What’s included in a photo session? A full breakdown of my photo packages.
Whether you're planning updated family portraits, celebrating your engagement, or booking senior photos for your teen, understanding what’s included in a photo session can take the guesswork out of the process. Here’s a clear breakdown of what to expect when you book with me.
1. Pre-Session Communication and Planning
Every session starts with a conversation. You’ll receive a welcome email that includes:
A short questionnaire to get to know your vision and preferences
Location suggestions and guidance based on your goals
A link to my style guide, including color palette suggestions and wardrobe tips
My goal is to help you feel fully prepared before we even meet on photo day.
2. The Photo Session Itself
Sessions are relaxed, fun, and personalized. Here's what to expect:
Family & Maternity Sessions: 45–60 minutes at a single outdoor location
Senior Portraits: 60–90 minutes with up to three outfit changes
Engagement Sessions: 60 minutes with a mix of posed and candid shots
Real Estate Shoots: 30–60 minutes per property, depending on square footage
I provide gentle posing prompts, give clear direction, and always leave room for authentic, unscripted moments.
3. Professional Editing and Retouching
After your session, I carefully select and professionally edit your images. Every photo you receive is color-corrected, cropped, and refined to match my natural, true-to-life style.
You won’t get duplicates, blinking shots, or anything that doesn’t meet my quality standard, just a beautiful, polished gallery full of real moments.
4. Online Gallery Delivery
Once your images are ready, you'll receive:
A password-protected online gallery
High-resolution digital downloads
Web-size images for easy sharing on social media
Optional access to order professional-quality prints and products
Turnaround time is typically 2–3 weeks (and you’ll get a sneak peek within 48 hours).
5. Access to Printing Options and Keepsakes
You’ll be able to order prints, framed wall art, and photo gifts directly from your gallery. No more uploading to third-party sites — I’ve partnered with trusted labs to make the process seamless and high quality.
6. Transparent Pricing and No Surprises
My session pricing always includes:
The session time
Travel within 25 miles of Vancouver, WA
A set number of edited, downloadable images (with upgrade options)
Full print release for personal use
Any add-ons like extended family sessions, additional locations, or rush delivery are clearly listed during booking.
