These sessions are best in the early morning or late evening for best light and atmosphere.

Not necessarily. Some locations may involve short walks on uneven terrain, while others are easily accessible. Session locations can be selected based on comfort level and accessibility needs.

Yes. Families and children are welcome, though some locations may be better suited for older children depending on terrain and timing.

The North Shore is beautifully unpredictable. Overcast skies, fog, wind, and mist often create the most cinematic imagery. Severe weather backup plans will be discussed if needed.

Potential locations may include areas near:

Duluth, Artist Point, Gooseberry Falls, Split Rock Lighthouse

Temperance River, Grand Marais, Scenic Lake Superior overlooks

Hidden shoreline locations

Specific locations will not be shared publicly to protect the integrity of those locations and may vary depending on weather, lighting, crowds, accessibility, and travel timing.

Sessions are relaxed and typically last long enough to allow breaks, movement, and natural interaction without rushing.

What to Wear for North Shore Adventure Sessions

Style Guide

Our online catalog of many of our client wardrobe items can be seen here.

Client Wardrobe

You only need the essentials for your yourself or your children (water, snacks, etc.). The studio does have some items to help style your family if needed it but we do not provide a wardrobe for every member of the family as styles change.

What we do offer is specialized for newborn outfits for newborn session gowns for maternity sessions, high end knit for our fairytale style sessions.

Your images will be ready within 2–3 weeks. This time allows me to gently and intentionally edit each photograph, preserving the softness and beauty of these fleeting early days.

Newborn sessions are held in my studio, where everything is thoughtfully prepared for a calm and seamless experience. This allows me to provide the highest level of care, comfort, and consistency for your baby.

Yes. Your gallery includes convenient, easy-to-use features for ordering prints or designing a beautiful custom album directly from your images. It’s a simple way to turn your memories into something tangible you can hold and revisit for years to come.

Thank you so much for your interest in scheduling a custom North Shore adventure session date! I do offer custom dates and flexible timing outside of the promotional travel window when availability allows.

Because these sessions require dedicated travel, lodging, location planning, and additional time on the North Shore, custom-date adventure sessions include a $600 travel and lodging fee in addition to the session package selected.

THIS FEE HELPS COVER:

Travel to and from the North Shore

Lodging accommodations

Additional scouting and planning time

Transportation between locations

If you’d like, I can also help recommend the best timing, lighting conditions, and locations based on the experience you’re envisioning for your session. I’d love to create something beautiful and intentional for you.

Families and couples that book before September 2026 qualify for the special promotional collections on this page.
