After our session, the magic behind the scenes, begins. I’ll carefully hand-edit each image to preserve the glow, emotion, and beauty of your story. Within a week, you'll receive a dreamy Sneak Peek. A handful of softly polished moments to warm your heart and hold you over while your full gallery is being lovingly crafted (just for viewing, not yet for download). Your full gallery will arrive 2.5-3 weeks later, filled with soulful, storytelling images in both color and black & white. If your package includes a keepsake box, I’ll carefully select 30 of the most meaningful frames and nestle them—along with your engraved USB—into a handcrafted wooden box, tied together like a love letter to your legacy. 🌙✨
One week before your session, we’ll touch base. I’ll send over a reminder email with final details so you feel totally prepared and excited. I’ll be here for any last-minute questions or nerves (it’s totally normal!). On the day of your shoot, make sure everyone’s bellies and hearts are full. A good meal and a solid nap go a long way. Then you just show up, breathe, and flow with the moment. Don’t stress. This isn’t about perfection, it’s about real, raw, beautifully messy family life... and I’ll be there to capture it all.
Think of your session as a chance to slow down and just be with your people. We’ll meet at a dreamy location during golden hour, and you’ll spend the time laughing, cuddling, and connecting while I gently guide you with natural prompts. No pressure for perfect behavior. Just love, comfort, and presence. The more ease and connection you bring, the more magic I can capture. We’ll get a few classic shots for the grandparents, but most of the session is all about telling your family’s story, beautifully and honestly.
Once you inquire, I’ll send over some basic info and a quick questionnaire to get to know you and your vision. After, we’ll hop on a video call to chat through your answers, talk location and golden hour time. We'll make sure I'm the perfect fit as your photographer. If everything feels right, I’ll send over your contract and retainer invoice. Once those are complete, your session is officially booked! From there, you’ll receive my Welcome Guide, Style Guide, and if you’ve booked a premium package, we’ll schedule your personalized Wardrobe and Styling Session. It’s all designed to be smooth, intentional, and totally stress-free.
Easy peasy! Just head to my contact form or click on any "book now" buttons, send me your info, and we’ll set up a quick call to chat about your vision, answer any questions, and get your date locked in.
No worries at all. I’ve got you! Every session includes my exclusive Style Guide, plus light wardrobe assistance (and full outfit planning for certain packages). I’ll help you choose colors and textures that photograph beautifully and complement your location.
Totally normal! I don’t expect perfect behavior, in fact, I don’t want perfection. I work with the natural energy of your family to capture the real, raw, natural moments. Some of the most beautiful photos come from the chaos, the giggles, the meltdowns, and all. My one request? Keep a loving, comforting energy. Your calm helps your kiddos feel safe, and I’ll be there to capture every tender, magical moment that unfolds. Promise!
You’ll receive all the best images from your session, professionally edited and delivered in both color and black & white. Most galleries include 50+ images, with no cap. The exact number all depends on the flow of the session. The more love, laughter, and connection we create together, the more magic I have to work with. When the energy’s good, the gallery is gold.
Galleries are typically delivered within 2.5-3 weeks. If you’ve ordered a keepsake box or prints, those will arrive separately once your products are ready.

Words cannot describe how impressed I am with this woman and her talent! Our first session was a year and a half ago, and I knew right then- she was our forever photographer. She made our little awkward selves feel so comfortable and confident in front of the camera! When my husband proposed to me- I knew I wanted HER to be my photographer! She picked out the perfect location and the pictures were to die for!! That being said-I couldn’t resist not having her be my Wedding photographer!
My wedding album was SO AMAZING!!
She and her Husband, Nathan, completely exceeded our expectations. We are so happy these are the pictures we get to look at for a lifetime.
Thank you, Cecilia for capturing these beautiful memories.
