Planning your Session to Printing your Artwork
A Thoughtful, Seamless Experience
I’m here to make the process feel simple, supported, and—dare I say—enjoyable.
From our first email to the moment your images are in your hands, every detail is handled with care. You’ll have access to a curated client wardrobe and the option to add professional hair and makeup, so you're not doing mascara one-handed while keeping an eye on toddlers. A complimentary print credit makes it easy to turn your favorite images into artwork for your home—no guesswork required.
My goal? To take care of the details so you can show up, feel amazing, and truly enjoy this season you're in.
The Steps

Explore Your Options
Are you considering a maternity, newborn, or baby milestone session? Perhaps a motherhood or full family session? Decide if you'd like to visit the studio, choose a picturesque location, or have me come to your home. There are plenty of options to consider. While most sessions are signature sessions, you might prefer a petite session or even a mini milestone. Reach out to discuss your needs, and I'll guide you to the perfect session type. Don't forget to ask about the Collective Membership for exclusive perks, savings, and a year's worth of photos. Contact me!

Schedule your Session
Once we've determined the perfect session type for you, I'll send you a scheduling link to select your preferred day and time. You'll then receive an agreement and a brief questionnaire to finalize your booking. Before your session, I'll provide guides with FAQs, location details, and outfit tips to help you prepare. A non-refundable creative fee will secure your date. After your session, enjoy a slideshow of your images and select your desired collection. Ready to book? Let’s make it happen!

The Session Day
A few days before your session, I'll confirm our time and location. If weather or health issues arise, we can reschedule. This is your chance to ask any last-minute questions. Signature sessions are not timed, allowing us to go with the flow. Your session might last 30 minutes or extend over an hour, but regardless of the duration, you'll receive plenty of stunning images to adorn your home and add to your legacy. Petite sessions have a 30-minute limit, while mini milestones are just 15 minutes, and both are available only in the studio. Please let me know if you're running late. Relax—this will be a smooth and enjoyable experience!

Your Image Reveal & Artwork Selection
Within a couple of weeks after your session, you'll receive an email letting you know your photos are ready. Enjoy a 24-hour slideshow to marvel at your images and choose your collection. You'll have a full month to select your favorite digital files and spend your complimentary print credit in the gallery store—all from the comfort of your home, with no high-pressure sales meeting.
I offer a range of heirloom-quality products to preserve your precious memories. From fine art prints to beautifully crafted albums, each product is designed to last a lifetime. If you'd like to see product samples, feel free to schedule a visit to my studio anytime. I'm here to ensure you have a stress-free, enjoyable experience from start to finish!
Wardrobe Made Easy
As my client, you have complimentary access to the exclusive studio wardrobe. This ensures that you and your family will coordinate flawlessly, enhancing the beauty of your finished images. Plus, it’s one less thing for you to worry about for your session. The wardrobe is available for all photo sessions, whether we're meeting in the studio, at your home, or on location. The right wardrobe makes a significant difference in the outcome of your images.
Did you know that a typical family spends around $500 on wardrobe for their photo session? By using my studio wardrobe, I'm saving you both time and money.
I have over 100 dresses for moms, shirts for dads, and outfits for children under 5. Many of the dresses in the collection fit most body types, from pregnancy to postnatal. Each piece is carefully selected for its photographic appeal. While using the studio wardrobe is not mandatory, it is a wonderful option to consider for your session.
Enhance Your Session with Professional Hair & Makeup
Consider adding the touch of a professional hair and makeup artist to your session for an extra boost of confidence and stunning results. My recommended licensed artist, located just 15 minutes away in Fridley, knows how to create a naturally beautiful look that enhances your features and ensures you look your best.
This optional service allows you to relax and feel pampered on the day of your session, without the stress of getting ready on your own. It's a wonderful way to ensure your photos reflect your true beauty and leave you with images you'll love.
mQn Studio NE Minneapolis
Welcome to My Light-Filled Studio in Northeast Minneapolis
Nestled in the Arts District, this is where the good light lives, the studio wardrobe hangs, and the art happens. It’s a space designed for you to take a minute, breathe, and let the day slow down—just enough to notice how beautiful this season really is.
The fridge is stocked with waters, Starbucks, and single-serve proseccos—because I'm fancy like that (and also, parenting... I get it. Plus, they’re ridiculously cute). The drawers are full of fruit snacks, Rice Krispies, and Pirate’s Booty because I know what the kids want. (My teen still tries to raid the drawers when she visits) Newborns sleep here, kids dance here, and parents relax here. Pull up a chair. Get comfortable.
This is where chaos meets calm. Where your toddler runs around like a tiny banshee and somehow ends up looking like a cherub straight out of a Raphael painting. I’m always saying I’ll document the chaos—but when you see your gallery, you won’t see chaos. You’ll see beauty. Connection. Art.
And you’ll probably say what so many parents do: “I cannot believe you got these.” But I can. That’s the magic. That’s what I do.
Your Custom Artwork Experience
After your session, you'll receive access to your online gallery where you can view and order your favorite images. I'll be available to help you choose the perfect artwork for your home, whether it's heirloom albums or a gallery of statement pieces for your walls. Rest assured, I'll take care of the entire process for you, with no pushy sales meetings.
Motherhood isn’t picture-perfect—but your photos can be.
I take what’s real—the way they reach for you, the way you gather them close—and shape it into something composed, elegant, and worthy of your walls. Honest, elevated, and unmistakably yours.
