Here's how it works...

01. Book your date

Just click the “Book a Session” button to view available dates and secure your spot.

02. Let me help style your family

After you’ve booked your session, I’ll reach out with all the information you need to prepare for your session. I can help you with wardrobe as much or as little as you like. If you have lots of questions we can schedule a phone call! 

03. Enjoy Your Session

All you need to do is get dressed and show up! I’ll give you plenty of direction throughout the shoot to ensure that we get natural and relaxed portraits and that you look your very best!

04. View your slideshow

I know how excited you are to see your photographs! A week after your session, you’ll see your photos as a beautiful slideshow. Watch with the whole family!

05. Choose your collection

Once you’ve had a chance to see your photos, you’ll choose your collection and select your images.

06. Receive your retouched portraits

Once you’ve selected your images, each portrait is hand-retouched to remove any blemishes and distractions. Your perfected portraits are delivered as high-resolution downloadable files, in both color and black and white. 

07. Spend your print credit!

Every image collection includes both digital files and a credit to spend in your gallery store. Enjoy easy ordering and a carefully curated selection of archival and fine-art prints products.

“Ariel has been our go-to photographer for years, and for good reason! She is incredibly patient, professional, and absolutely amazing with kids, which takes so much stress off parents during the session. Ariel also offers fantastic advice on coordinating outfits, making preparation a breeze. Her calm demeanor and creative eye ensure that every photo shoot is an enjoyable experience. Most importantly, the results are always stunning – we consistently walk away with beautiful photos that capture our family perfectly. We are so grateful for Ariel’s talent and dedication and highly recommend her to anyone looking for exceptional family photography!”
