FAQ

What do I wear?

Simple. Wardrobe is key to any memorable session. Truth is, some things just don't photograph as well as others. But, don't worry. We will walk you through every step of the way with our wardrobe guide and stylized consults to make it as simple as possible.

Do you offer digitals with your sessions

We do! While we are a full-service print studio, we offer digitals too, but more than just that. We have spent many years perfecting the art of storytelling. How better to tell a story than with an album or fine art prints. Not just any book, though. A handcrafted, lasting heirloom printed on archival-safe, recycled paper; guaranteed to last for generations to come.

How are my photos delivered?

Digitals are delivered via a secure online gallery usually within a week or 2 of your session. Prints are ordered directly from our online store to your door within days of ordering!

How much do portraits cost?

Digitals are a flat rate of $25 each with a minimum order of 10, BUT pay up front for one of our premium portrait collections and receive 50% off! Of course, we offer an array of prints and keepsakes, too. Including our popular bespoke albums guaranteed to last multiple generations!

What Others Are Saying
Heartwarming moment of joyful bonding with newborn baby.
From the moment I met Kortney, I felt like we had been friends forever! The way she captures images, specifically birth, is what brought me to her. She was so professional + kind throughout the entire process. She even went above + beyond to help in ways outside of her “photographer” role! What a blessing! We got our images back in a very timely manner + will treasure them forever! If you are looking for someone who understands the beauty of birth AND knows how to document it emotionally..she's your girl!

I was so happy to find someone that was just as excited as I was about photographing the birth of my baby girl. Kortney was amazing! She made you feel very comfortable with everything that she did and was very respectful of any personal wishes. I would absolutely recommend her!!
