GETTING STARTED & BOOKING

What makes this different from other portrait experiences?

How do I know if this is right for my family?

How do I know if this is right for my family?

Most mothers come to me because they want to feel something when they look at their artwork — not just see a pleasant image.
This experience is intentional from the beginning. We talk about your family, your relationships, the atmosphere you want reflected, and how you want to feel when you live with these pieces every day.
It becomes artwork that honors your devotion, your story, and the pride you deserve to feel.

If you’ve poured yourself into raising your children and want a way to honor that journey — this is for you.
You don’t need perfect relationships or perfectly behaved kids. You only need a desire to see the truth, connection, and love that already exist within your family.

We begin with a conversation.
I want to understand your family, what matters most to you, what you hope this artwork will reflect, and where it will live in your home.
This first step sets the tone: intentional, thoughtful, and centered around your story.

PREPARING FOR YOUR PORTRAIT EXPERIENCE

How should we prepare as a family?

What should we wear?

My child is shy / energetic / unsure — will that be a problem?

There’s no performance here. No pressure to be anything other than yourselves.
Your only job is to show up with an open heart. I’ll guide you through everything else — gently, naturally, and with a focus on connection rather than perfection.

Think about how you want your artwork to feel in your home.
Soft, refined palettes tend to age beautifully and keep the attention on emotion and connection.
If you'd like guidance, I’m happy to help you choose clothing that supports the feeling you want reflected on your walls.

Not at all. Every child comes into the experience with their own energy, personality, and way of easing in — and all of it is welcome. As a mother of three who has lived through every stage and transition, and as a former first-grade teacher, there is truly nothing children do that unsettles me. I understand how to meet them where they are, create space for them to feel comfortable, and gently guide them into a place of ease and authenticity.

Some warm up slowly. Some arrive full of movement. Some need a moment to feel safe and understood. All of these ways of being are perfectly normal, and each one leads to meaningful, honest portraits when given the right atmosphere. Your child doesn’t need to be anything other than who they are — I’ll take care of the rest.

DURING YOUR PORTRAIT EXPERIENCE

What is the experience itself like?

I’m not comfortable in front of the camera. Will that show?

It’s guided, natural, and thoughtfully directed.
There’s movement, conversation, pauses, warmth — whatever reflects your family authentically.
My role is to help you settle into an environment where real connection can come forward without rush or pressure.

You’re not alone — many mothers feel this way.
But once you’re fully present with your family, the focus shifts away from being photographed and toward experiencing genuine moments together.
My direction is subtle and supportive, helping you feel at ease without ever feeling posed or performative.

ARTWORK & DESIGN

How will we choose the artwork?

Where can this artwork live in my home?

Can you help me understand what sizes or products will look best?

We choose it together — with intention.
We’ll look at what feels honest, what reflects your family’s story, and what you want to live with every day.
Then we’ll design pieces specifically for your home, your style, and the emotional truth you want represented.

Anywhere you want to feel reminded of your family’s strength, connection, and identity.
For some mothers, that’s the entryway — the place where their story greets everyone who walks in.
For others, it’s the bedroom, the kitchen, or the staircase.
There’s no wrong answer; only what feels meaningful to you.

Absolutely.
We’ll explore Wall Art Collections and 3XM Treasure Boxes designed to work beautifully in your home.
My role is to help you choose pieces that feel timeless and intentional — artwork you’ll be proud to live with for decades.

INVESTMENT & ORDERING

What is the investment like?

When will my artwork be ready?

Every family chooses differently based on what feels meaningful and aligned.
We’ll talk openly about your priorities, and I’ll guide you toward artwork that supports the story you want to see every day.
This isn’t about quantity — it’s about creating pieces that carry lasting emotional value.

Quality takes care and time.
Once your selections are made, your artwork is produced with meticulous attention, ensuring it becomes a lasting part of your home and story.
