Maternity Portraits in Palm Springs

The Palm Springs Photographer

Come along for the experience of a lifetime with a desert photography expert. Let's go frolic in Palm Springs or Joshua Tree! Maybe even Pioneertown or LaQuinta Cove. Let me show you the magical way of the desert.

Palm Springs Family Photographer

Parenthood years are the best times, but so chaotic and busy. Finding time to prioritize documenting your family is important, and that is why you're here on my site. I love photographing families through each unique stage, witnessing all of the growth. Timeless images turned into artful memories are something you'll never regret investing in. Milestone sessions, maternity portraits, newborn photography and annual family photos help define the journey of your family, in turn leaving heirlooms to be enjoyed by future generations. Whether you are vacationing in Palm Springs or Joshua Tree, or a local I have got your story covered.

Investment

Portrait collections start at $400 for single families, couples, newborn, maternity and milestones sessions. We take the time that we need to get an amazing gallery capturing the love of your family completely, so there is not necessarily a limit. Multiple families and legacy (multi generational sessions) collections start at $700. Travel fees apply outside of Coachella Valley and Joshua Tree area.

Prints

Prints, Canvases, Albums and much more are available in your gallery shop. I love the custom USBs, which you can add on when booking if desired. Products are sourced through different companies depending on the product. Albums are from Red Tree. Prints are from Miller's Lab or The Dark Room Lab. When kids see family photos on the wall it helps them understand their journey and their cozy place in a challenging world. Your images should live as artwork on your walls. Book a gallery discovery call to discuss which products and finishes will work best for your favorite images.

What is Included?

Images are shot in a combination of 35mm film and Digital. All collections include all edited images in high resolution plus full print rights. Film Images are developed and scanned by Photovision in Salem, Oregon. These images will be placed in your gallery along with the digitals. Artwork, Albums, Prints and many other beautiful products are available in your gallery shop.

How can I book?

Contact me here to get started. We usually start with a date and a vision, then make it come to life.

My husband and I had an amazing experience working with Sarah, and highly recommend her for newborn photos! On top of her beautiful work, she was very easy to work with and delivered the images in a timely manner! Highly, highly, highly recommend!

FAQ

When do you recommend booking a family session?

Once per year at least, or when extended family is getting together. Childrens milestones are also a great occassion for photos.

Do you offer a client styling consult?

Your client portal includes different style guides with helpful pointers. I love to give advice so feel free to consult with me! It is all part of planning your dream session.

Do you recommend including family pets?

YES! I love to include fur babies. Please do let me know so that I can be sure the location choose allows animals.

How soon will I receive the gallery?

Typical delivery is 14-21 days. Processing the film and composing the gallery just right takes time. Rush delivery is available for an extra charge.

How far ahead do I need to book my session?

I typically book out a month or more ahead of time. However, I take last minute clients frequently. Do not hesitate to call me with less notice.

Can I order prints?

You get full print rights. You can order prints, canvases, greeting cards and other photo art directly from the gallery. You can also order from wherever you choose.
