What does having a stress-free experience mean?

It’s having location options presented to you so that all you have to do is pick one

It is knowing all of the details so that you aren’t left wondering about any little thing

It is not having to worry about what you are going to wear because the L&L Client Closet has got you covered (literally)

It is easy, quick communication if you have a question or concern

It is me, by your side, from planning to printing

HOW IT WORKS

the L&L process

session + wardrobe planning

With the help of the L&L Boutique, we will choose the perfect outfits for your session. You might have a location in mind for your session, but if not, I have a list of favorites for you to choose from. Every detail will be planned out so that you aren't left guessing about anything. All that's left is to enjoy it.

the big day

Session days are so fun! You are going to be beautiful. And all the planning will come together. The session is nothing to be stressed about, I will tell you exactly what to do. I love seeing people loosen up and enjoy themselves. That is when the images convey genuine emotion and happiness.

Now that you have seen your images, let's do something with them. These consultations can be in person or over zoom. About 30 minutes of your time will turn into prints, framed gallery walls and albums that you will cherish for years to come.

Frequently asked questions

Select the session type below that you are interested in to see FAQs.

You can expect around 75 images per hour on your wedding day. I will deliver all the special moments and pretty photos. I want you to be able to look back on every part of your day.

Why is an engagement session included?

Engagement sessions are included with every wedding package because this is the perfect change for you to get comfortable in front of my camera, I can learn more about you as a couple, and we won't feel like strangers on your wedding day! (which is a big deal)

Will you tell us how to pose?

YES! Of course. That is a huge part of my job. I will tell you exactly what to do, there is no need to be nervous or feel silly. Beautiful images come from a place of comfort and confidence.

Do you have any vendor recommendations?

Yes! I would love to share my favorite vendors with you. It is such a treat to show up on a wedding day and be surrounded by vendors I know and trust to make your day perfect.

DO YOU TRAVEL?

I do. Let me know what you have in mind and we can make it happen. New landscapes light a creative fire in me, and I would love to make your vision come to life.

How many images can I expect to receive?

You can expect to receive at least 40 edited images. These photos will be delivered to you through an online gallery. 

WILL YOU HELP WITH OUTFIT?

YES PLEASE! I think we underestimate the visual impact outfits can have on the final gallery. I hope you will be able to find the perfect dress in The L&L Boutique, and once we choose your dress, we can decide on outfits for the rest of the family.

Can I order prints and albums from you?

Absolutely. Nothing makes me happier than knowing your precious images are being printed and cherished. I will help you every step of the way. Printing your images can feel overwhelming, but I am here to help!

how long does a session last?

All sessions last around one hour. But I want you to know that we will spend the time it takes getting beautiful photos of your family. Kiddos are on their own time, sometimes we all need a breather or snack break. Don't worry about a time frame, just enjoy the process. 

What is the motherhood collection?

The Motherhood Collection is a package of sessions that take you from pregnancy, all the way to your little one's first birthday. I love seeing families grow together during that first year. It provides a consistent experience and cohesive photos in your home and albums.

HOw long will the session last

Branding sessions are at least 2 hours. This gives you time to change outfits (multiple times), and gives me time to create a lot of variety so that your final gallery is big! Because for a branding session, the gallery needs to be big. 

HOw many images will i receive?

A lot. Enough for you to have content for a while! I don't have a set number, you will get all the "good" ones from your session. 

What location should we use?

This depends on what business you have. If you have an office/ studio space, that is a great place to start. If not, If not, we can talk more about the vision you have and I will help you find the perfect place to make it come to life.

What do i need to bring?

Think about what you do and the service you provide. What things do you enjoy and what sets you apart? The fun thing about branding sessions is that being different is a good thing! We will talk more about what is unique to you and your business that we can incorporate in your session. 

When can I expect my Branding images?

Branding session galleries are delivered within 2 weeks of the session date.

how do I reach you?

E-mail or text is fine with me! I love to have a relationship with my clients. And there will be a lot of prep work for you leading up to your session, so I want it to be easy for us to communicate and get questions answered quickly.
