Storytelling
FINE ART & CHILDREN PORTRAIT PHOTOGRAPHER
IN ELKTON MARYLAND
WHAT TO EXPECT
One of my favorite sessions! My intention behind storytelling sessions is to capture your real and honest day to day sweet moments with your family that are usually taken for granted. These are documentary styled sessions where there is no "look at the camera and say cheese", no posing, no stress, and no special photo session outfits or coordinating clothing. You are just you doing your favorite activities naturally and you just pretend I am not even there. I will watch and document the special daily moments that make life so wonderful. These sessions are in black and white, and can be held in home or at your favorite location.
This session includes:
Easy and stress free online booking
Customized session tailored to your individual needs
Session questionnaire to get to know a little more about you and your family
Prep guide with all the information you will need to be ready for your session, including "what to wear" and outfit styling tips
Online gallery to view and choose your collection images
Online store to purchase high quality wall art and products
HOW IT WORKS
01. Booking
RETAINER FEE $150
In order to reserve your date, you will fill out my Contact form to inquire about my availability. Once you decide to go ahead with booking, you will pay the retainer fee and receive a questionnaire and client guide to help you prepare for your session. I will guide you every step of the way.
The retainer fee reserves your date and time in our calendar, and covers the time and talent of the photographer, and the work we do upfront to fine tune your session details, which includes all communication, setting up, coordination, professional editing, and preparation of your beautiful gallery. The retainer fee does not include digital files (photos) or print products, and it is non-refundable, but it is transferable to a future session.
And then the fun part! We get to have an amazing photo session.
02. Collections
DIGITAL AND PRODUCT PACKAGES STARTING AT $300
Within a week after your session, you will receive a link that includes the proof images of your full gallery. Once you've had some time to see them and marvel for a bit, you'll be able to choose what collection you want to purchase. You will receive your edited photos no later than 28 days from your selection date; this might take a week or two longer in busy seasons.

WHY ARE HEIRLOOM PRODUCTS
so important
If you have ever looked through an album or box of old photos, you know just how powerful a good photograph can be. That instant feeling of connection and wonder to a previous moment now gone – there’s nothing quite like it. Whether a child now grown, an event now passed, or an individual no longer with us, it is the power of a great photograph that brings it all back to us once again. And it’s even more powerful when it’s delivered with top quality.
Cell phone photos certainly have a place in our daily lives, but how many of those photos would you choose to make into an oversized canvas to hang in your living room? How many of those images will you pass onto future generations as a fine art print to illustrate who you were in that moment in time?
It all starts with an image and an experience. I would be honored to help you with the process of choosing that perfect heirloom piece. I have selected top quality photography printing labs who can provide premium products. These include gallery boards, fine art prints, lay flat albums, and acrylic prints, to name only a few of my favorites.
