the

experience.

I believe in transparency and laying it all out for my clients. Here is what you can expect working with me, from start to finish.

you're not

just "another."

For me, you aren't just another session, another booking, another client.
And I'm not just another photographer.
This is me — awkward, raw, human me — committed to telling your story in a way no one else can.

here's what

to expect.

This is the general flow I follow start to finish.

01.

connect

This is what we're doing now, in a sense! Connection is at the core of why I do what I do. I am an Enneagram Type 4, which means I love diving deeper than the surface and truly getting to know people. 

02.

plan

If we feel like a good fit and you want to move forward, we find a time to tell your story. The ideal time for sessions for my vibrant, golden look is within a few hours of sunrise or sunset. Once we schedule, I send over a contract, invoice and questionnaire. 

03.

capture

This is the best part! We spend some time together...whether that means chasing the littles or digging a little deeper with your significant other. Again, the purpose of this time is to connect with one another while I capture it.

04.

finetune

We already made the magic, but this is where I edit your gallery, and tell your story through the little details. This typically happens within a week from your session.

05.

deliver

Yay! All parts of the process are exciting to me, but I love sending off a gallery that captures the connection, essence and story of YOU. 

06.

share

If you love your photos, please share them anywhere you'd like! All I ask is for a quick tag if sharing on social media so that I can continue telling stories for others. 

worried your kiddo won't sit still?

join the club.

My own child hasn't sat still a moment in his life, and it's given me a new insight into photographing families. I don't mind chaos and movement. In fact, I prefer it.

Because life isn't lived standing still.

It's lived in the spontaneous jumping and running and squealing. And yes, sometimes it's also lived in the crying. And that's okay. I will meet you and your kiddos where you are.

it all

matters to me.

I want you to know that I am so thankful you're considering investing in me to capture this season of your life. I don't take it lightly and my promise is that I will continue to invest in you as well. Let's see which package tells your story best. Whatever you choose, it's going to be real and true and so, so good. Here are a few common questions and answers!

Just get in touch via the contact form and we will get something on the calendar!

This completely depends on the type of session, location, etc. If you get in touch, I will be happy to get you an exact number!

Yes, I require a nonrefundable deposit of 25% of the session fee. 

Yes! We love furry friends. I just ask that you let me know ahead of time. 

This depends on a few things, but mostly the weather and scenery. If you send me some ideas, I will be happy to give you some direction! Be sure to check out my Style Guide! 

Most often, I will edit at least a few photos the day of. You can expect the rest within two weeks! I use ShootProof, an online gallery tool, so you will get a link.

some

kind words.

"Beth took my vision and totally surpassed my hopes and dreams! I am seriously in love with every single photo she took."

“Beth captured the very essence of our wedding and our love for each other and our family. I can feel it in the photos. It is clear to me that Beth has a gift. She is truly an artist."

Melissa B.

“Beth was so easy to work with, even with a larger group (including keeping the attention of a two year old). She truly is passionate about what she does and it shows through her photos!"
