A beautifully crafted card shares the love your family felt and the adventures you took this year. Professionally captured photos turn that card into a keepsake that loved ones will treasure for years to come. Why not get them done together?
If you’re available in the greater Seattle area or Palm Springs, where I’m active, my holiday card packages offer the following services:
- Portraits: A 1.5 hour photoshoot session with your family, from which you’ll receive high quality photos that you can save and use for any purpose.
- Cards: 5×7″ postcards using those photos, designed with your input — perfect for posting on fridges. The front will feature a photo or photos, and the back will have room for a default message, a handwritten message or both, plus more photos.
- Delivery: Those cards delivered to you, ready to be mailed to your friends, family and other loved ones.
Pricing
All packages come with one photoshoot session within either the greater Seattle area or Palm Springs, high resolution photos delivered to you digitally and a number of cards in blank envelopes using a design and photos approved by you, mailed to you or directly to your recipients.

FAQ
How do I prepare for the photo session?
We’ll chat over email or phone prior to confirming your order, but in the meantime, think of a place where you feel comfortable and happy, like a living room, basketball court or park by your home. Those are the best places for us to grab authentic, beautiful photos.
Can I order just portraits without the cards?
Of course! You are always welcome to hire me for a portrait session and use the photos to make the cards yourself, if you’d like. The cost is $350 for a full 1.5 hour portrait session with at least 15 edited images, plus black and white versions. Ask about options for larger groups or longer timelines.
When and how do I get the cards?
Booking takes place in October, with most photo sessions occurring in early-to-mid November. That gives us a few weeks of cushion time to design and print cards. The cards are then mailed to you, ready to be addressed and stamped for your loved ones, by the first full week of December.
