Which Package Is Best for Your Family?
Choosing the right package depends on your family’s size and the type of gallery you envision. Families looking for something quick, simple, and kid-friendly typically choose Package 1, especially when they want updated photos or holiday card images. Families with larger groups, multiple households, or a desire for greater variety usually prefer Package 2, as the extended time allows for more combinations and a broader selection of images. If you're unsure which option suits you best, I’m always happy to offer guidance based on your needs.
The Booking Process
I strive to make the booking process as seamless as possible. Once you submit an inquiry with your preferred date, I’ll follow up promptly with availability and a few recommended Traverse City and Northern Michigan locations based on lighting, scenery, and the style you want. After we confirm the details, you’ll receive a simple contract and retainer invoice to officially reserve your session. From there, I’ll guide you through outfit suggestions, preparation tips, and any additional planning. On the day of the session, your only job is to relax and enjoy the time with your family—I’ll handle the rest. Your fully edited gallery will be delivered within one to two weeks, with a sneak peek sent shortly after your session.
