Session Info/Pricing
Session info: (use scroll bar at right to move down page)
Images that touch our emotions are often the ones we treasure most...it's the wonderment of your infant's tiny feet, hearing your daughter's giggle in her smile or the feeling of amazement at the handsome young man your little boy has become.
These are some of the images I hope to capture of you and your family and my hope is that you will see yourself as God sees you~ a beautiful creation of his own. My approach to photographing is easy-going and fun. Some of the best images are created when you are interacting with your kids in the ways you do every day. My goal is to create beautiful custom artwork for your home.
Newborn and baby sessions tend to take anywhere from 1-3 hours depending on sleeping and eating patterns~ I allow plenty of time for breaks.
Family sessions usually take 1-1/2 hours and senior session packages range from 1 hour up to several hours/locations depending on what you are looking for in finished images.
After our session, I will post several pictures on the blog, then process and post the remaining proofs to an online gallery within the week. We will book a viewing appointment and I can show you the various options for collages, print formats, sizes and gallery wraps. Final orders are requested within three weeks of the online posting.
Print orders typically arrive within three weeks or less from time of order placement when placed at ordering appointment. Gallery wraps and special sizes may take an additional week.
Pricing:
Session fees cover the photographer's consultion with client, travel, creative composition, post-production of images, your online gallery, and post-session consultation for ordering.

Giving Back
There are several organizations I support both personally and through Circle of Life Photography. I believe the gift I have been given in photography is intended to bless others.

Joni & Friends Family Retreat
I am honored to be the official photographer at the Joni & Friends Family Retreat in the Poconos (Spruce Lake Retreat one week each summer (click here for blog post.) Joni & Friends seeks to serve as a ministry of outreach to people with disabilities and their families across the US and around the world. Families from around the country attend Family Retreats seeking relaxation, encouragement and a time to strengthen their family.
NILMDTS
http://www.nowilaymedowntosleep.org/
Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep Foundation gently provides a helping hand and a healing heart for families overcome by the grief and pain of the death of their newborn or infant. Offering gentle and beautiful photography services in a compassionate and sensitive manner is the heart of this organization. The soft, gentle heirloom photographs of these beautiful babies are an important part of the healing process. They allow families to honor and cherish their babies, and share the spirits of their lives. I am a NILMDTS volunteer for the Hershey and Lancaster area hospitals.
Pillows of Love
http://www.pillows-of-love.com/
Pillows-of-Love is a ministry that provides beautiful pillowcases and Bibles to women and children who are displaced, in a recovery shelter, a pregnancy center, or an international orphanage. I served as a volunteer/photographer for annual fundraising event on April 17, 2010.
St. Jude Children's Research Hospital
St. Jude's is unlike any other pediatric treatment and research facility. Discoveries made here have completely changed how the world treats children with cancer and other catastrophic diseases. With research and patient care under one roof, St. Jude is where some of today's most gifted researchers are able to do science more quickly. All patients accepted for treatment at St. Jude are treated without regard to the family's ability to pay.
Celebrating Adoption
In 2009, several adoptive families received a FREE portrait session and an assortment of enlargements to celebrate the life/lives that has been granted to them through adoption.
Missionary Families
Christian missionaries may contact me for information about FREE family sessions and images on CD to be used for their annual newsletters or cards, news articles, blogs, or other marketing/promotional materials related to their work. There is no charge for this service but it is limited to my availability and is available once per family each calendar year. If you are near the Hershey, Pennsylvania area on home leave, I will make every effort to find a date and time that works so you have your images before returning to your missionary service.
