Cherished Moments, Beautiful Memories

Warm your heart and your home with memories of a life lived well together.

Welcome! 

i'm meredith

Not only am I your soon to be family photographer, but I am a your session planner extraordinaire!  I have over 5 years experience in creating a seamless portrait experience for your family. From the moment you book your session, to the moment you pick up your pictures I will be here to walk you through each step of the way!

I want your experience to be lighthearted and fun for you and your children. By creating a plan for your experience will take all of the stress out of your actual session. I want you to show up to your session ready to give your kids the freedom to run around, which always prompts the most natural smiles.

If you ask me, a photographer's job isn’t done until they have helped you actually do something with your photos. I don’t want you to just walk away with digital files that you can post on Instagram or Facebook only to be reminded of them a year from now when your “On This Day” Memories pop up. I want to help you find the perfect portraits to hang in your home. Whether it be a framed print, or a canvas, I have sourced quality handmade products that will stand the test of time. When you look at your portraits whether it be a few months down the road or 10 years from now, you will still have a timeless quality product hanging on your walls.

my goal is not to create gorgeous photographs of your family

but to give your family a window into the memories of this season of your lives.

After your session, I go through the entire roll of images, cutting out the images with eye blinks, funny faces, duplicates or just the ones that are, let's say - unflattering ;) I will then hand edit the images for you and have you back for your image reveal and ordering appointment.  

03. Order Your Images! 

We will discuss the best location, dates, what to wear, things to bring (cause what child doesn’t need a snack when you want them to be happy), and we’re ready to rock and roll! All you need to do now is to show up ready to have fun!

02. Planning Your Session

First things first.  We all know one size does NOT fit all.  Let's make sure I am the right photographer for your family.  Let's get to know each other first. If you feel that I am the gal for you, let me know! We’ll plan your session, we will have a great time and you will LOVE your pictures!

here's how it works

what past clients had to say:

“She was very good with our 5 and 7 year old boys, making them laugh and feel at ease. Which shows through in some great photos. We haven’t had family pictures taken for about 5 years so this was a treat and they turned out lovely, we are very pleased. She shows she has a great eye and talent for photography.” J.I. Family

The session fee is due at the time of booking to secure your date. Your gallery will be ready for viewing within two weeks of your session. All prints and products are sold separately from the session fee. Purchases of all products will be made during your gallery reveal/ordering appointment. 

All of my portrait sessions include:

Your Pre-session Planning
Session Prep and Outfit Consultation
A 60-90 minute Portrait Session
Your gallery reveal and ordering appointment 

The Investment:

My clients typically spend anywhere from $900 - $3000 on products, but I don’t believe in pushy sales and I will absolutely help you to make the most practical decisions for your family, not necessarily the most expensive. We will find the best options for your budget!

frequently asked questions

click on the question to view the answer on the right

I book on a first-come, first-served basis, so reach out to me as soon as you know you’re ready for a session. Sometimes I can get you in within that month and sometimes you have to wait a little longer.

How far in advance do you book?

I work diligently to deliver all of your images within 2 weeks from the time of your session. During the busy season, it can take up to 3 weeks, but please know that I do my best to give you a fast turnaround, because I know you wanted them yesterday. The process is different from other photographers asI don’t just send you a link to digital files and abandon you! About two weeks after your session, we will get together to view your gallery. Its usually made up of about 30-40 photos. Together we will select your favorites and figure out what products make the most sense for you and your family. Once you place your order for prints, albums, or digital files, everything is delivered to you within a few weeks.

When will our photos be ready, and how many will we receive?

It never fails, we are always at the mercy of Mother Nature. Wouldn't it be great if we could just order up nice weather whenever we wanted it? Don't worry though, I keep a close eye on the weather and if it looks like we will get rained out, we will plan for a better sunnier day.

What happens if it rains the day of our shoot?
