Once your session is scheduled and the session retainer is collected, you receive access to the password-protected Client Log-in page on my website. This page includes a detailed welcome/what to expect online guide!

We customize your session to what fits you and your taste, style, and interests. This includes but is not limited to urban, private gardens, farms, or local parks.

We schedule a viewing appointment at my home office in Elburn to go through your online, password-protected photo gallery. At this time, we talk about what you want to do with your photos, how to display them, and I answer any questions you might have. Next, the gallery will then be emailed to you and is live for one month.
