let's start your story
Book Your Session
Reach out and tell me a little about your family. Whether you're booking your first session or your fifth, every Little Chapters inquiry is read personally by me, Stephanie. I'll get back to you within 24 hours (often much sooner) with my availability, a few thoughtful questions, and a path forward.
I serve families across Broward County and South Florida, from Fort Lauderdale and Coral Springs to Pembroke Pines, Hollywood, Weston, Plantation, and Boca Raton. Whether you're picturing the beach at golden hour, your own backyard, or a meaningful spot you've been driving past for years, we'll find the right place for your story.
what happens next
From Inquiry to Final Gallery
Chapter 01
We Connect
Once you submit your inquiry, I’ll respond within 24 hours with availability and pricing. If we feel like a fit, we’ll hop on a quick 15 minute call (or keep it to email, whatever you prefer) so I can hear about your family and what you’re hoping to capture.
Chapter 02
We Plan
Once your session is booked with a deposit, we’ll choose a location together. I’ll send a styling guide with what to wear, what to bring, and what to leave behind. No matching outfits required, promise.
Chapter 03
We Shoot
On session day, expect to play, walk, laugh, and largely forget I’m there. I don’t direct stiff poses. I create the conditions for your family to just be together, and the camera catches the rest.
Chapter 04
You Receive Your Story
Within two to three weeks, you’ll receive a private online gallery with your edited images, a print release, and the ability to download everything in high resolution. Print orders are available directly through the gallery if you’d like beautiful, archival pieces for your home.
good questions
Before You Book
How far in advance should I book?
For family and lifestyle sessions, 4 to 8 weeks of lead time is ideal, especially during peak South Florida months (October through April). For maternity sessions, reach out around 20 weeks so we can plan around your bump. For birth photography, please book in your second trimester. I take a very limited number of clients per quarter.
Where do you shoot?
Most of my sessions happen on the beach, in Broward County parks, or at meaningful family locations like your home. I love Hugh Taylor Birch State Park, Las Olas Beach, the Bonnet House gardens, and the quiet stretches of Fort Lauderdale shoreline at sunrise and golden hour. If you have a place that means something to your family, that’s almost always the right answer.
Do you travel outside Broward County?
Yes. I regularly travel to Boca Raton, Delray Beach, and Miami-Dade. Travel beyond a 30 mile radius from Fort Lauderdale may include a small travel fee. We’ll discuss it during planning.
What’s your turnaround time?
Two to three weeks for most sessions, sometimes faster. Rush delivery is available for Extended Sessions and by request.
Do you require a deposit?
Yes. A 50% retainer holds your date. The remaining balance is due the week of your session.
What if it rains?
South Florida weather is part of the deal. If forecasts call for serious rain, we reschedule at no cost. Light overcast or scattered showers usually make for the most beautiful, soft light, so we often shoot anyway.
Can I order prints?
Absolutely. Your gallery includes professional print ordering with archival paper, frames, and albums shipped directly to you. You also receive a full print release for your digital files.
