Three Packages
Choose the one that fits your story.
Every session is directed, personal, and intentional. The difference is depth — how long we shoot, how much we deliver, and whether your session includes the video that makes it a time capsule instead of just a gallery.
All sessions include a pre-session questionnaire and creative brief. Gallery delivery in 4-6 weeks. Season runs May–October, based in Pella, Iowa.
 
Time Capsule
Senior Sessions
Senior sessions aren't really about the photos. They're about celebrating the version of you that exists right now — this laugh, this face, your accomplishments — before you embark on your next chapter.
Every session I shoot is directed, personal, unhurried, and absolutely unique to you.

Time Capsule
Family Sessions
I know how fast each phase of childhood and parenthood moves, and I know what it means to have something real to hold onto to savor those days (crazy or precious or both). That's my goal - to capture the beautiful mess and to celebrate your family, no matter what stage of life you're in.
These sessions aren't about lining everyone up and smiling at the camera. I love to give your family space to just be — together, outside, unhurried — while I pay close attention. The magic is always already there - we just have to be ready for it.

M. Terlouw
"Somewhere between the last day of school and the first day of the rest of your life, there's a summer. This is how you remember it — not just what you looked like, but who you actually were."
My Process
 
1.Book + Deposit
 
Choose your package and send the retainer to lock your date. You'll receive a confirmation and your pre-session questionnaire within 24 hours.
 
 
2.Pre-session Prep
 
Complete the questionnaire — locations, looks, vibe, what you want to say. I use your answers to plan the session so every minute on the day is intentional.
 
 
3.The Session
 
We shoot. Relaxed, directed, no rush. The goal is to catch you being yourself — most people forget about the camera within the first twenty minutes. That's exactly when the best work happens.
 
 
4.Gallery + Delivery
 
Your edited gallery and video arrive in 2–3 weeks via a private link. Everything is yours to download, share, and keep forever.
 
 
Sessions are limited for a reason.
I shoot a small number of sessions each season — not because I have to, but because every session deserves my full attention, real preparation, and the best of my creative capacity. If you've been thinking about it, don't wait for the window to close.
