THE PORTRAIT EXPERIENCE

documenting seasons of love and family in a laid-back, fun, and meaningful way

LAID-BACK, INTENTIONAL SESSION TO CAPTURE YOUR SEASON

I want your session to be relaxed, fun, and special. I will work to create a space that's comfortable and enjoyable for everyone (even dad). I focus on connection, interaction, movement, and emotion. I want you to walk away cherishing your people even more.

A MIX OF POSED + CANDID

I know the photos of everyone smiling at the camera are important. I will definitely prioritize those, but I also won't hold back in getting fun, candid photos that show personality and love!

YOUR PHOTOS

Your photos will be delivered through your beautiful and personal online gallery where you can download, share, and print! You'll also receive access to my online print shop with gorgeous products - albums, framed prints, and more!

Hi there,

I'm Bethany! Can I share a few quick facts about myself and what drives my photography?

1. Creating space for natural, real, fun, and meaningful connection - There's a difference between fake candid and real candid. The real stuff is produced by actual moments and natural emotions. That's what I'm here for. And I help you relax and have fun so we can make the real stuff happen.

2. That's not to say I don't prioritize some photos of everyone smiling at the camera - don't worry. I do :)

3. Family is one of the absolute most important things in my life. I'm officially in my 30s, and I'm realizing how true it is that time doesn't slow down for anyone. Let's document the rhythms and moments you love about this season so you can remember them with your eyes and show them to your kids.

WHAT TO EXPECT

Booking

When you're ready to book, either fill out the booking form attached to your email, or message me and let me know you're ready to move forward. Woohoo, let the planning begin!

Invoice

Once you book, I'll send over your invoice and contract. You can sign immediately and make the payment(s) online if you wish to do so. You can pay in person if you'd rather. Payment is due by the time of the session.

Questionnaire

At some point before your session, I'll send over my pre-session questionnaire. I want to get to know you guys and capture the things you love about this season.

Your Photos

We'll meet for your session and intentionally document this season of your life. You can expect to see sneak peeks within one week of our time together. Your full gallery will be delivered within one month.

STYLING

I know outfits can be stressful, but ultimately wear something you love and feel comfortable wearing. Here are my quick tips:

1. Think about what your backgrounds will be. You'll want to stand out without clashing.

2. Think about your home - how and where do you plan to use your printed photos? Try not to clash with your home decor.

3. Start with mom - pick something you love, and just base everyone else off that!

4. Avoid overmatching. Instead aim to coordinate colors and patterns.

And pssst. I have an entire Outfit Planning Guide so once you book, just ask about it if you're interested!
