The Portrait Experience Guide
Exclusively for members of the AR Family
I’ve created this guide to help you get the most out of your photos, and by the time you’ve read through this guide, you’ll have all your questions answered and feel more than ready and prepared for your session. Then, I’ll take care of the rest! Your only job is to be yourself, laugh a lot and let me create photos you’ll love forever.
Topics include:
Portraits start at $195
Engagements start at $500
The Experience
Combine my experience as a photographer with posing and shooting efficiently and my traditional work experience as social worker, and you'll get not only gorgeous images, but an memorable photographic experience! My background helps me provide an experience that makes my clients feel comfortable in front of my camera, keeps the kids engaged and having fun (even if we do have to stop for some snacks or let the wiggles out!), and reluctant, camera-shy significant others admitting that their session time was "actually fun!"
I don’t believe that photography is one-size-fits-all! Members of the AR Family are unique, because I serve a specific type of clientele who recognize that if they wants authentic, joy-filled portraits, then they needs more than just pretty pictures, they needs an incredible EXPERIENCE! The first step towards working with me is determining if I'm the perfect fit for you! After getting to know you online or in person, I’ll determine if we’re a match made in heaven and then we’ll move on to the booking process!
It's not a one-size-fits-all industry!

I'd love to connecT with you!
As a Chattanooga Photographer, I realize your mind may be overwhelmed with wedding and portrait photographer options. So, I'm so excited you're considering ME out of all the photographers out there! As a former bride, and now parent, I have an even deeper understanding of how special these seasons of our lives are and get giddy about capturing all the details, candids, and moments in-between. If you're in the great Chattanooga, Knoxville, or Nashville areas, I'd love to get to know you and the vision you have for your Big Day!
