WHAT IS A SIGNATURE SESSION?
“Every person has a signature. Just some people don't know it yet.”
— Rita Ora
Custom portrait artwork, created with intention.
Signature Portrait Sessions are my year-round, fully customized portrait experience for children, pets, and families who want more than a quick photo session. This is thoughtful, guided portraiture designed to become finished artwork in your home.
Signature Sessions are available throughout the year and include a retainer credit that is applied toward your final artwork purchase. This structure allows the session itself to stay focused on creating meaningful portraits, while your final choices are made once you can see the images and envision them in your space.
If you value quality, craftsmanship, and a guided experience from start to finish, a Signature Portrait Session is designed for you.
The Signature Session Experience
Thoughtful planning, a relaxed session, and guidance every step of the way.
A Signature Portrait Session is designed to feel easy and unrushed — even for clients who swear they’re “not photogenic” or whose dog definitely didn’t read the memo.
Before your session, we’ll plan the details together, including wardrobe guidance, styling, and the overall feel of your portraits. On session day, the focus is on connection and comfort, not stiff posing or racing the clock. Whether we’re photographing a child, a pet, or a family, the goal is authentic expression and beautifully crafted images.
After the session, you’ll return for a private Design Consultation, where I help you narrow down favorites and design finished artwork that fits both your home and your life.
Artwork, Not Just Images
Portraits designed to be displayed and seen by you and others.
Signature Sessions are centered around finished artwork — pieces meant to live on your walls or in your hands, not disappear into a folder on your phone.
During your Design Consultation, you’ll see your portraits displayed at scale and receive guidance on selecting pieces that suit your space. Options include framed wall art, albums, and curated collections designed to tell your story beautifully.
Digital files are always included with purchased artwork - you get the best of both print and digital.
Investment & Retainer Credit
A flexible structure that puts the focus on the finished result.
Signature Sessions require a credit retainer, all of which may be applied toward your artwork purchase. This approach allows us to focus fully on creating meaningful portraits first, with no pressure to decide on products before you’ve seen your images.
Most clients invest in artwork after their session, once they can see how the portraits come together and envision them in their home. Detailed pricing information is available on the What It Costs page, and I’m always happy to help you plan comfortably and confidently.
