I'm so excited that you are interested in choosing me to document your family! We believe in real moments and chasing sunsets. In the kinds of images that remind you of the joy that can be found in the simplest of moments together.
I began capturing images on film at the age of 12 when we discovered our dad's old film camera in the attic. The limited amount of images on a roll of film forced us to really observe the beauty in the world, and the people around us. Whenever I pick up my camera, I strive to create beautiful and emotional images that tell a story and showcase the beauty of both the people in the images and the world around them.

We’ll send you a link to submit the 50% non refundable retainer and contract to reserve your session. Once your session is reserved, we'll connect to start chatting about possible locations for your session. We generally recommend choosing one location and if it's a place you haven't been before, it might be helpful to visit during the time our session will take place.

If picking out outfits for photos takes you back to your high school days when you literally tried on everything in your closet and piled it on your bed but still felt like you had nothing to wear, you're in luck.
We put together an extensive outfit suggestion guide with tips for every member of the family!

On the day of your session, we'll connect to make sure the weather still looks like it's going to corporate. We'll exchange numbers and finalize our meeting location. Please plan for your session to take about an hour from start to finish.

Marisol + family
Nancy is truly the best! We have done a little over 10 photoshoots with her. Every chance we get to have our pictures taken by her we do. We absolutely love every single session, her attention to detail, her editing style. She's so sweet and so easy to talk to. We will continue to recommend her every chance we get

Jasmine + family
I absolutely love all of Nancy’s work and I’ve got to say that her work truly speaks for itself. I’ve done a couple of sessions with her and I will always choose her as a photographer. She's such a beautiful person to work with. I love the patience she has for children, my kids love working with her. She is really one of the best photographers around the valley!

Yes, you are welcome to print the images on your own. If you do this, we recommend making sure that the printer does not color correct the images (many automatically do this.) We also recommend looking for a high quality printer. While 10 cent prints sound great in theory, the cheaper printing quality often won’t do your images justice. Paper quality, color correction and a handful of other factors play a big role in the way your prints turn out. This is one of the reasons why we LOVE offering prints to our clients.

While we don’t guarantee an exact number of images, we will make sure we capture your family thoroughly. Most families should expect to receive at least 30+ edited images following their session.

We guarantee that your images will remain in an online gallery for at least a year. While your galleries may stay up longer than that, we cannot guarantee it. Once your galleries have been delivered, we highly recommend downloading all high resolution images to several devices. Consider investing in a portable, waterproof external hard drive.

While turnaround times can vary by season, we aim to deliver all images within two weeks of your session.

You are absolutely welcome to share images on social media. To ensure that our work is properly represented, we ask that you refrain from any edits.

By default, the creators of images always own the rights to the images. However we’ll give you a release to use, print and share your images. The only thing you won’t be able to do is sell your image as a stock photo. We won’t do this either without your written permission.

We typically plan about 60 minutes for sessions. While we likely don’t need to be shooting this entire time, this does give us the flexibility for location changes.

We do light retouching on all of our images. This means that if there are any glaring objects that should be removed (such as a bump from the tumble your toddler took that morning,) we’ll remove it. Larger edits (such as removing tan lines,) require more time and would require us to add additional editing hours to your collection.
