I love studio work, but fall is a glorious time to head outside!

Many of our clients agree, and schedule their fall Portrait Sessions a year in advance. (You can book for next year, too- just email me and we’ll go over some dates). But if you’re wanting to take advantage of fall color in 2021, don’t wait a minute longer! My dates are sometimes dynamic, changing with the weather, but here’s the usual schedule for best lighting:

Mondays 3 or 4 PM

Tuesdays 3 or 4 PM

Fridays 9 AM; 3 or 4 PM

Saturdays 9 AM; 3 or 4 PM

AFTER THE TIME CHANGE on November 7th (Sunday) I will not offer a 4 PM since it gets dark so soon.

REMEMBER- these are outdoor Sessions and we’re working with available light. If you choose to do a studio time, we have more time options available!

Some quick info to know:

1. Most of my Sessions are photographed here at Big Spring or Morse Park, both very close to the studio. If you have a location you’d like better, just let me know in advance so I can schedule your Session at a time when the sun is to your back.

2. If fall color is the most important thing, I’ll have you pick a reserve date when you schedule. There’s no extra charge, but it keeps me from overbooking and not having a second date to offer you if rain messes up your first option. If you can only do one date, then we’ll plan on doing as Studio Session if there’s inclement weather. We’ll discuss all this when you book- I love to listen to what’s really important to you!

3. An outdoor Session fee is 250.00, paid in advance to book. Due to high demand for this limited time, there are no refunds if you change your mind, but your payment will be kept as credit toward your next experience.

Questions? Call or text- 417-658-8865, or email me. I’d love to do this for you!

Two years old and the world is a visual feast.  Note: the color repetition of the leaves and her dress really make this picture.  I’ve noticed most leaves around here tend to be shades of gold and umber, so keep that in mind when choosing clothing.
