My goal will never be to work with as many families + couples as possible. That leads to burnout and unhappy clients who didn't receive the attention they deserved. Instead, I've created a five-star experience and an exquisite product that I share with a limited number of families + couples each month.
If you are "just looking for someone to take some pictures" I'm not the photographer for you. If you're looking for someone who will guide you through this process, style your whole family, deliver a remarkable gallery that will make you cry, and maybe even be your friend for life, keep reading.

Chasing Creative will travel up to 20 miles for a session. After 20 miles, a travel fee of $0.75 x the total number of miles from my home to the location (round-trip) will be incurred. All packages include coverage for up to five people. An additional fee of $25 per person will be incurred for each additional subject after the first five.
Chasing Creative reserves the right to change its prices at any time without notice. Clients who have paid a deposit and signed a contract for their session are not subject to price increases.
All clients get access to my client closet full of gorgeous women's gowns and men's tops that can be borrowed for your session FREE of charge – saving you money and making your life so much easier.
Use my styling portal to quickly and easily nail your photoshoot outfits!
Here's how we'll work together to create your beautiful gallery.
DISCUSS THE DETAILS
Once I receive your contact form submission, I will reach out via email either to start the conversation or to send you a link to my calendar so we can schedule a call. I’ll tell you a little more about my shooting style + how the session will flow and you’ll have the chance to tell me about your family. We’ll also talk through dates, location options and styling.
RESERVE DATE
Following our communication, I’ll send a formal “proposal” which will include all the details for your session, an invoice and a contract. The retainer must be paid to reserve your date. Once the retainer is paid, your date is locked in. If the retainer is not paid within 24 hours, I will reopen the date.
PLAN YOUR OUTFITS
Leading up to your session, I am always available to assist with styling. All clients have access to my client closet and can communicate any items they would like to wear for their session.
TAKE PICTURES
I always send out an email the day before your session with everything you need to know. If weather conditions are poor, I continue to monitor throughout the day of your session and make the final call about an hour before your session. Florida weather is extremely unpredictable and I have captured some of the most epic sunsets after storms. Rescheduling is always the last-case scenario.
MAKE THE FINAL PAYMENT
After your session, the final payment is due.
GET EXCITED WHILE I EDIT
Turnaround time for my galleries is 1-3 weeks. This completely depends on my workload at the time. Once your gallery is complete, you will receive it via an online gallery software. Next, you'll select the number of images included in your package. You can also upgrade your package and select more images for an additional fee.
DOWNLOAD AND PRINT YOUR IMAGES
Lastly, you will receive a downloadable zip file of the high-resolution images you've selected, along with a print release. You will also have the option to print images straight from the gallery.
I am open to family pets joining sessions if they have a "handler" on site. Sometimes dogs can steal the show which can take away from the emotion and connection I aim to capture. If you bring someone along who can take the dog aside after we get a few pictures with him/her I am okay with your furry friend joining. PLEASE NOTE: Most beach locations do not allow dogs.
Mid-October - May, rain/storms are rare in Southwest Florida but they do happen. I am constantly monitoring the weather starting the day before your session. If I feel we should move the session up or out due to weather, I will contact you to see if this is possible.
Mid-June - Mid-October, late afternoon storms are inevitable. It's not a matter of if it will storm, but if it will storm in the exact location and exact time of your session. I usually plan to start the session early so we can dodge the rain if needed. Learn more about sessions during stormy season HERE.
A client closet is a collection of dresses that I've purchased for my clients to use during sessions. Styling is a big part of the Chasing Creative experience so I've invested thousands of dollars into beautiful pieces that photograph well.
I aim to proved a minimum of 2-3x the number of images included in your package. Most galleries contain 50 - 70 images. Once you receive your gallery, you will have the option of purchasing more images.
