Once you've had a chance to explore my website and get a feel for my work, the next step is reaching out! After I receive your message, we’ll schedule a quick phone chat to connect, go over the basics, and make sure my services align with what you're looking for. It’s a chance for me to hear a bit about your vision and answer any initial questions. At the end of our chat - we'll get your date on the calendar!

To officially secure your session date, a $500 retainer is required at the time of booking. Once you’re ready, I’ll send over your contract for signature along with the invoice. The remaining balance is due 7 days before your shoot day, making everything simple and stress-free leading up to your session.
Book Your Date

Once your session is booked, you’ll receive access to my interactive styling tool through Style & Select. This easy-to-use guide helps take the guesswork out of what to wear by offering personalized outfit suggestions based on your session type, color palette, and vibe. Whether you're dressing the whole family or just yourself, it’s a fun and stress-free way to pull together a cohesive, camera-ready look.

Everything we’ve planned comes to life in a fun, relaxed environment where you can truly be yourself. Whether we’re capturing playful moments, quiet connections, or bold personality, I’ll gently guide you throughout so you never feel stiff or unsure.

Step 4
About two weeks after your session, you will receive a link to view your beautifully curated gallery. From there, you'll be given a password to download the high resolution images. Your gallery is also directly connected to the RBP Print Store - where you'll be able to view my collection of heirloom quality artwork from the comfort of your own home.
Gallery Delivery
Step 5
Your collection includes a print credit that you can use to order your artwork directly through your online gallery, making it simple to select the images you want to preserve in tangible form. When you print through a professional lab, you’re investing in museum-grade materials, true-to-life color, and archival quality designed to last for generations. This ensures your photographs become timeless heirlooms - pieces your family can hold, display, and pass down, keeping your story beautifully preserved.

My style is playful, vibrant, and heartfelt. It is focused on capturing real connection and personality. I lean into bold colors, natural light, and thoughtful compositions that bring out the beauty in everyday moments. Whether it’s a child’s wild giggle or a quiet in-between glance, I aim to preserve the kind of images that feel alive, honest, and deeply personal.
