Plan Your Portrait Session

Have a session in mind?

Tell me what you are planning, and I can help you choose the right session length.

I photograph portraits on film with a natural, deliberate approach. Sessions are relaxed and unrushed, with enough time to make honest, beautiful photographs without overcomplicating the experience. Whether you are planning family photos, senior portraits, a couple session, or newborn photographs, I’m happy to help you choose the right length and setting.

Portrait sessions begin at $250 for up to 30 minutes.
Longer sessions are available in 15-minute increments at $75 each.

What’s included

Each session includes:

  • Planning help before the shoot

  • Guidance on timing and location

  • A relaxed, lightly directed session

  • Hand-edited final images

  • A private online gallery for viewing and download

You’ll receive details on turnaround time, delivery, and print options when booking.

Typical session lengths

30 minutes
Couples, individual portraits, maternity minis, and short family sessions

45–60 minutes
Families of 3–6, seniors, engagements, and most standard portrait sessions

60–90 minutes
Large families, newborns, and sessions that need a slower pace

If you are not sure how much time you need, I’m happy to recommend a session length based on your group size and what you want photographed.

Session types

Couples
Usually 30–45 minutes. Enough time for a relaxed set of portraits with a variety of poses, movement, and natural moments.

Families
Most families of 3–6 photograph best in 45–60 minutes. Shorter sessions can work well for smaller families or very simple plans.

Newborns
Newborn sessions are typically 45–90 minutes to allow for feeding, soothing, and a slower pace. These sessions are designed to feel calm and flexible.

Seniors / Individual Portraits
Usually 30–60 minutes depending on location, outfit changes, and how much variety you want.

Maternity
Usually 30–45 minutes. Ideal for simple, natural portraits with a little time for variation in location and composition.
