✨ August Pay What You Can Minis ✨

I'm offering a special mini session event for anyone who may be going through a financially difficult season or has simply never had the chance to have professional portraits taken.

📍 Location: Bells Mill Park, Chesapeake
📅 Date: August 8
⏰ Time: 6:30–8:00 PM

Each session includes:
• 20-minute session
• 15 hand edited digital images
• Online gallery for downloading and sharing

A $75 non-refundable retainer is required to reserve your spot. If you're able to contribute more, you're welcome to do so on the day of your session via cash or Venmo. Any additional amount is completely optional and helps make it possible for me to continue offering these sessions to others.

🏠Backyard Minis 🏠
These are also included as part of this event! If you'd prefer your session to take place at your home instead of the park, just send me a message and we'll schedule a date that works for both of us.

Please be sure to arrive on time for your scheduled session. Because multiple families will be booked back to back, I'm unable to extend sessions or offer makeup time for late arrivals. https://gottleberphoto.pixieset.com/booking/pay-what-you-can-mini

I’m slowly getting back into editing and responding to messages, and I truly appreciate everyone’s patience, prayers, and kind thoughts over the past few weeks. They’ve meant so much to our family. I have a follow up OBGYN appointment scheduled, and we’re hoping to get some answers regarding our multiple miscarriages or at least have a better understanding of what our next steps will be. We would appreciate your continued prayers.

As I begin easing back into work, I wanted to see if there’s any interest in Fall Mini Sessions or Back to School Mini Sessions! If either of those sounds like something you’d be interested in, please leave a comment below and let me know which one. Your feedback will help me plan my upcoming schedule.

Due to a personal medical emergency, I will be out of the office for the next two weeks. During this time, I will not be responding to messages, emails, or inquiries.

This past weekend was one of my busiest yet, with most evenings ending around 9 PM. I’m incredibly grateful for every session, every family, and every client who has trusted me to capture such meaningful moments. Busy season is truly a blessing, and I never take your support for granted. Over the next two weeks, I'll be spending some much needed time resting while also deep diving into editing. My goal is to have galleries delivered within 4 weeks of your session date, and I'll be working hard this week to stay on track. Thank you for your patience and understanding during this busy season! I’m doing my best to balance editing with making the most of the time I have with my family, especially as we navigate some uncertainty with my husband's military orders. We’re currently in a sensitive time, so I kindly ask for prayers, but please know that I remain committed to delivering your galleries with the care and attention they deserve. I know I've fallen behind on posting here, and I hope to catch up soon. But my priority will always be editing and delivering your images before keeping up with social media! Thank you all for your continued support, kindness, and grace. It truly means more than you know. 💗
