The Signature Experience

Your desire of having family portraits is long overdue and the idea can sometimes be daunting. My tailored portrait process will guide you in each step to make the experience easy and simple for you and your family.

The Design Consultation

The first step of your photographic experience is to plan who you would like to bring to your photographic day, what to wear, timeline of the session, and visualize where these images will be enjoyed. For this appointment to be most fruitful, it is best to meet in your home. I can meet your loved ones and get to know your family a bit more. Optional Zoom call is also available for the out-of-towners.

The Photo Shoot

My shoots are fun and carefree! Of course, there will a few guided poses for the artwork on your wall, announcement cards, and for the grandparents! Embracing every aspect of your photo shoot and telling your family story through my images really means the most to me. Get ready to enjoy a fun time and marvel how easy and peasy it was – even dad will enjoy it too! Let’s capture some beautiful photos!

View and Order

Approximately two weeks after your photo shoot, you will come to the studio for your View and Order appointment. Your View and Order appointment is the time set aside to finalize your portrait order, so be sure and schedule a time when both mom and dad can be there.

Using our state-of-the-art software and photos of the walls in your home, we will show your portraits scaled onto your walls, which solves the problem of what size to order; not too big, not too small, but just right!

We will guide you every step of the way using your goals from the consultation to achieve your vision for your family portraits. This is my client’s favorite part of the photoshoot experience!

Delivery and Installation

Your artwork will be ready in about 4-8 weeks. We offer delivery and install in your home or office locally or have them wrapped up beautifully as gifts to your loved ones afar. And once those portraits are displayed, you can sit back and cherish your artwork that just happens to be your family.

I am so thankful when families return year after year to add their gallery walls or album collection with their changing family. Seeing your family grow is the sweetest part of my job!

“The photos are hands down, the best I’ve ever seen of my kids! I seriously regret not doing this sooner…”

Sandra has a wonderful and flexible personality. She really is focused on the satisfaction of her customer and makes the experience collaborative. I was able to rely on her artistic experience to narrow down the best photos from which I made the final decisions. The photos are hands down, the best I’ve ever seen of my kids! I seriously regret not doing this sooner, and I am so pleased with the results. Thank you so much Sandra, for your wonderful vision, your patience with my boys and the beautiful pictures — they will be treasured forever!

“My boys had a lot of fun under her guidance and their personality reveals through these photos.”

Sandra was very helpful to guide me in coordinating the outfits for the three of us and encouraging me to not be stressed out about it. She made all three of us felt at ease and natural for each photo. Her guidance for posing for the individual shot was amazing! My boys had a lot of fun under her guidance and their personality reveals through these photos. I usually hate getting photos taken, but I would definitely come back to Sandra for future photos.

“Thank you for taking so much of the anxiety away…”

The last big photo shoot we had was almost 13 years ago for our wedding. Nick and I both hate staged photos and cannot smile naturally on cue. Thank you for taking so much of the anxiety away by preparing everything from what outfits to wear, scouting out our location to save us time, and meeting the boys in advance to get to know them more. We love how they turned out. You’re amazing at your craft, thank you for everything.
