PRICING GUIDE 2020
Time is free,
but it's priceless.
You can't own it,
but you can use it.
You can't keep it,
but you can spend it.
Once you've lost it,
you can never get it back.
Harvey MacKay

WE ARE SO HAPPY
Katie is the best. Not only do we love our photos, but we had fun with her! Katie did maternity photos and then came to our home for the newborn shots. We couldn't be happier with our photos! If you want relaxed, not overly posed, natural photos, Katie is your girl.

All-Inclusive Packages
Let's make this easy, shall we? All sessions are a flat rate price and all-inclusive, meaning you don't have to pick your favorite images to keep. After our session, I will select the best images to edit, always keeping everything that looks good. Each session is guaranteed a minimum of 60 edited images, but sometimes with happy kids and smiley babies, the gallery could be as high as 100 pictures.
LIFESTYLE SESSION
Newborn, Family, Maternity
This includes your choice of a newborn, family, or maternity session at an outdoor location or in the comfort of your home. Sessions last 1 hour (sometimes 90 minutes for newborns) and include natural and lifestyle photos with your immediate family members. You will receive all 60+ high-resolution hand edited digital files to download and keep from each session. The images are presented in a private online gallery that never expires. Want a smaller package? Choose your favorite 20 images to keep for $1200.

STUDIO SESSIONS
Come visit one of the oldest buildings in downtown Petaluma! The studio is a great option for families who want a clean and simple backdrop for photos, without the stress of making your home picture perfect. Studio sessions are great for quick family portraits, birthday milestones, or maternity sessions. There are also many fun outdoor spots surrounding the exterior of the building that I like to include as well.

YOUR QUESTIONS
can i book my session online?
Yes! All bookings are done through email with easy electronic contracts and online payments. It's so easy, you can even do it in the middle of the night while nursing!
when is the best time for a session?
Newborn sessions are held with your due date and are typically best within the first 2 weeks after birth. Baby acne sometimes happens at week 3, so it's nice if we can avoid that! The ideal timeframe for a maternity session is between 32-38 weeks. Family sessions can happen whenever you need them! I don't work on Sundays, so my Saturday dates book up quickly, and the months of October and November are my busiest, so plan ahead!
what should we wear?
I am happy to help you! Send me some pictures of options and I can help you navigate. I suggest sticking to neutral colors like cream, grey, navy, hunter, black, maroon. Avoid hot pink, bright reds, and oranges! In my opinion, adults look the best in solids, while kids can rock a little pattern.
what if we are awkward in pictures?
I get this question all the time! No stress. I can make even the most awkward person feel at ease. I'm not going to stare at you and demand you say 'cheese!' I will have you walk and hold hands, laugh at each other, play with your kids, and a million other fun activities to make you look like natural models.
will you travel for a session?
Yes! I am always up for an adventure. It's on my dream list to do a shoot in Hawaii, Iceland, and Paris!
LET'S MAKE MAGIC!
I am super fast at responding to email, so if you don't see a message from me within 24 hours, check your spam folder. I can't wait to hear from you!
