20 Years


You're thinking, that's a long time right? And it is! And that's what you get when you invest in me to capture your story. In 20+ years of being a photographer for others than just my own kids and family, I've picked up quite a hefty bag of experience that I get to share with you during your session. And in that time, my most favorite part of this whole "job" is the friendships I've built with the families that come through my door year after year. There are three main things you should know before going into a session with me... 1)The session planning will begin before I even pick up the camera, 2)Your pictures are just as important to me as they are to you, and 3)You will be like family to me before you leave. So without further ado, check out session types that I offer below. And don't hesitate to get in touch, I'd love to chat!

But First...

FAQ

How do you book?

You can use the Book tab on the website, email Dana directly to start a discussion, or text using the number on the contact page too.

What's Included?

All Sessions include the session fee and full resolution digital images with print release. This means you get to download the images to your computer at home, upload them to any print lab you choose and make and order any size prints you want for as long as you keep your files. I don't shoot a certain amount of 'poses'. I have a workflow I start with, and allowing a relaxed session environment, I shoot until I'm confident we have what we need.

When do you get the pictures and how?

Images are delivered in a private, online gallery. Turnaround time is 1-3 weeks from your session date. Your gallery is available for one month from delivery, with unlimited downloads during that time so be sure to download and backup all your images before it expires.

How Many Pictures Do You Get?

Maternity > 40+

Family Sessions > 40+

Newborns > 40+

Baby/Child Mini > 8-10

Baby/Child Regular 40+

Seniors > 40+


These are safe starting points. If you've had sessions with me before, you know the reality of how many you actually get with a successful session ;)

Where do you go?

Studio sessions are located at my studio on our farm, in our new barn, on Lower Alarka, in Bryson City, North Carolina. Outdoor session locations vary and are custom planned according to session goals and the time of year.

What happens if the weather is isn't cooperating for our outdoor shoot?

It's very important to be flexible when first scheduling an outdoor shoot. The worst part about Mother Nature is we can't control the weather so if it isn't pretty, or rainy, we will definitely want to try for another day. I will touch base with you the morning of, or possibly a day or two before depending on the forecast, and we usually try to make a decision of when to call it, whether right then or to wait an hour or so before you plan to get ready for the session. Either way, just know I'm super flexible because I want the best outcome for you!
