HOW IT WORKS
When choosing photography or marketing services, it's important to find a professional who understands your vision, communicates clearly, and delivers results that exceed your expectations.
01
Booking
Contact me to discuss your portrait session needs, and I'll answer any questions you have. Once we select a date, I'll send you a Contract, my What to Wear Style Guide, and a Portrait Questionnaire to finalize the details and goals. A $50 retainer and contract is required to reserve your date.
02
Planning
I’ll provide my Location Guide featuring recommended spots and examples from past sessions to help us plan the perfect session. Feel free to reach out during the outfit planning process—I love helping clients choose the best looks! Note, mini sessions are held locally in Grafton unless part of a hosted event.
03
Delivery
On session day, we’ll have fun while I capture genuine smiles and laughter from your little ones. Within two weeks, you’ll receive a curated, password-protected gallery of edited images in both color and black + white. From there, you can select your favorites and order prints or packages.
My Signature Style
Outdoor sessions take place June through October during the golden hour — the last hour or two before sunset — for the most flattering light, soft colors, and comfortable temperatures.
On the day of your session, I’ll capture a beautiful mix of candid moments, gently posed portraits, and intentional details that reflect your story. Each session is designed to feel relaxed, meaningful, and true to you — resulting in heirloom-quality images you’ll treasure forever.
"Photography is not only what you see but also what you feel."

We have been using Deirdre for our annual family photos going on 9 years now. She is so incredibly talented behind the camera. She takes her time to get the most natural smiles from my children. We adore her. I highly recommend Deirdre!
