Portraits
“I never like photos of myself”
“I’m just not photogenic”
“I’m SO awkward in front of the camera”
Sound familiar? Don’t worry, you’re not alone! The truth is, a great portrait isn’t about being "photogenic"—it’s about feeling comfortable and confident in front of the camera and seeing that shine through in the final images. And who’s in charge of helping you feel that way? Spoiler alert: It’s me. The one behind the camera.
I place the utmost importance in my life and business on making those around me feel comfortable, happy, beautiful, and free to simply be themselves. My ultimate goal for my portrait sessions is to create a fun, enjoyable, and relaxed experience where you can truly feel your best and most comfortable, confident self.
Showcasing one’s true beauty both inside and out — the way I see you! — is forever what I hope to accomplish through these photos. There’s simply nothing like seeing the glow on someone’s face when they see a photo of themself (even just on the back of my camera!) and exclaim, “that’s me?!”
Yes, that’s you! That’s all you!
Whether it’s new headshots for work, photos of the kiddos on their first birthday, modeling portfolios, graduation, maternity photos or simply just need a little confidence boost, SMP portrait sessions are perfect for all occasions and capturing you at every stage.

Session Notes
There is no limit on outfit changes; we will fit as many as we can within the time to fully utilize our time together. 2-3 is most popular, but feel free to bring additional layers, accessories, etc. to create even more looks and quick changes.
A $250 session fee and a signed contract are due at the time of booking; the session fee acts as your retainer fee and is non-refundable. This reserves your date and time and blocks it off my calendar while also covering any and all pre-session planning. If booking a space that requires an additional fee, the cost of that is due at the time of booking in addition to your session fee.
Your session is not booked until the payment and signed contract have been received. If they are not received within 72 hours of receiving your proposal, your inquiry will be cancelled and your date will be released. Your remaining balance is due on the day of your session.
Proof galleries will be sent within 24 hours for final photo selection. Final, edited galleries will be delivered a maximum of 3 weeks after your photos have been selected. Galleries will be delivered to your email and available for 1 calendar year. It is highly recommended to download your gallery upon receiving your gallery.
