From major milestones to plain old Mondays, I’m here to document it all.
A session for every season
I don’t just want to photograph your family and peace out—I want to grow with you! I offer a variety of session types to meet your current needs.

MATERNITY SESSIONS
Stretch marks and snack breaks welcome and encouraged.
NEWBORN SESSIONS
Sleepy smiles and spit up are a plus.

Tantrums and toys expected (and turned into art!).
SCHOOL PORTRAITS
Stiff smiles and awkward poses nowhere in sight.
BRANDING SESSIONS
Purposeful, profit-driving imagery always.

15 and 30 minute sessions offered in designated areas and locations throughout the year.
You've got options:
No matter the session type, you can always expect:
I'm a little different, it's true...
Clear, prompt communication each step of the way
Just the right amount of in-session guidance
Clean, classic editing with natural colors
"Working with Richelle was incredible."

"She is extremely detail-oriented, organized, and professional. She came to my photoshoot on-time, prepared, and was personable and friendly.”
Reach out via my contact page and fill out my inquiry form. I'll confirm if your ideal date is available and then send you a set of contracts to sign and an invoice for the session fee. I do not hold dates unless the contract has been signed and the session fee has been paid.
A non-refundable retainer, or session fee, is due at the time of booking to hold your date. Retainers start at $275 for full sessions and vary based on your chosen session type.
Credit card, electronic check (ACH), Venmo, and Zelle. I do not accept cash or physical checks.
Yes, I offer multi-part payment plans.
Approximately 3 to 4 weeks. Within 10 business days of your session, you will get a proofing gallery. You'll have 7 days to look through your photos and select your favorites. Once that's done, you'll get a link to download your photos within 3 to 5 business days.
Absolutely! When it comes to designing your album, I can do all the work for you so you can relax and wait for it to arrive. Prints can be purchased directly through my only gallery store, giving you access to a number of professional print labs.
Of course! If all you want are digitals, that's an option for all my sessions except for Heirloom Portraits. For heirloom portraits, you will get a digital copy of your printed photos as these are meant to be displayed.
