Reserve Your Session Date
Choose a date, fill out a short questionnaire, and submit a retainer to secure your booking.
Once you reserve your date, I’ll be in touch within 24 hours to confirm availability and schedule a discovery call. We’ll use that call to plan your session, choose a location, and make sure everything feels easy and stress-free.
▹ I’ll personally review your booking and reach out within 24 hours.

What happens next:
The discovery call is simply a time for us to talk through your vision, answer questions, and plan a session that works well for your family.
Have a question or want to talk through options first?
Send me a message and I’ll get back to you within 24 hours.
Not quite ready to book?
How quickly will you respond?
I respond to all inquiries within 24 hours (usually much sooner!). If you haven't heard from me within 24 hours, please check your spam folder or reach out via phone.
Is my date guaranteed once I book?
Your date is held once your retainer is submitted and confirmed. I’ll be in touch within 24 hours to finalize details.
Do you offer weekend sessions?
Yes! Weekend dates book quickly, so the earlier you reach out, the better your chance of securing your preferred date.
What if I’m not sure what location I want yet?
That’s completely okay. We’ll choose the best option during your discovery call.
Do you require a deposit?
A $190 session retainer secures your date. The remaining balance is due one week before your session.
What if I need to reschedule?
I understand life happens! You may reschedule once without penalty with at least 48 hours' notice.
How far in advance should I book?
I recommend booking 4-6 weeks in advance, especially for weekend sessions or specific seasonal timeframes (like fall colors or spring blooms).
Do you photograph newborns?
Not at this time. I specialize in baby milestones (3-12 months), cake smashes (first birthdays), and family sessions with children ages 0-15.
Why is the retainer non-refundable?
Your retainer reserves your session date and time exclusively for you.

"Shyla was absolutely amazing! She was professional, took her time with edits, and was flexible with my 4 month olds schedule and adjusted our session time to meet his feeding schedule. We met with her to look at all our photos and choose what we wanted. We also ordered a BEAUTIFUL album with all our photos we picked. She also listened to all my ideas I had and captured the exact photos I wanted.
Would HIGHLY recommend her for your family/childhood photos!!"
