hi friends! 🖤

i know a lot of people have tried to book sessions lately and my booking site wasn’t working correctly.

i’ve attached my booking link below. you’ll find my pricing, availability, session information, and pretty much everything you need to know. it makes booking super easy and seamless—you can book your session without even having to message me (unless you have questions or need help, then let’s chat! 😊).

if you’ve tried booking in the past and ran into issues, please try again! the problem wasn’t on your end, and i’d hate for anyone to miss out because of a glitch.

the availability shown is my current set schedule, but i do have some flexibility if those times don’t work for you. if you’re wanting to book and aren’t seeing a time that fits your schedule, please reach out! i never want someone to miss out on working together simply because of scheduling.

as always, if you’re looking for something you don’t see listed, send me a message. i love creating custom sessions and making things work when i can. weddings are currently being accepted on an inquiry basis only.

i can’t wait to work with you all! 🖤

i’ll be pinning this post so it’s easy to find!

hi guys — not my normal post, so please bare with me.

kieara has been in my life for over 10 years now. she has been a friend, a client, and someone i’ve had the privilege of knowing through so many different seasons of life.

recently, at just 25 years old, she was diagnosed with stage 4 breast cancer.

it’s hard to even put into words how devastating and unfair that feels. at an age when most people are planning their futures, raising their families, and making memories, she is now facing the fight of her life.

kieara is a mother, a wife, a daughter, a sister, a friend, and so much more to so many people. she has an incredible support system behind her, but the emotional, physical, and financial burden that comes with a diagnosis like this is unimaginable.

if you are able, please consider donating, sharing, or simply keeping her and her family in your thoughts and prayers. every share helps reach someone new, and every contribution, no matter the amount, can make a difference during such a difficult time.

thank you all for taking a moment to read this and support someone who means so much to so many.

gofundme:

Kieara is a 25-year-old wife and devoted mother to a beautiful four-year-old daughter. R… Melissa Doddroe needs your support for Support Kieara’s Cancer Fight
