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 3-4 weeks. Season runs May–October, based in Pella, Iowa.
Time Capsule
Senior Sessions
Senior sessions aren't really about the photos. They're about the version of you that exists right now — this laugh, this face, this way you have of moving through the world — before the next chapter writes itself.
Every session I shoot is directed, personal, and unhurried. My job isn't to pose you. It's to get out of your way long enough the genuine you shows up — and then to be ready when it does. The best images are always the ones you don't realize are being taken.

Time Capsule
Family Sessions
The age they are right now. The way the little one runs ahead. The look that passes between two people who know each other better than anyone - and have seen all the things together. These things feel permanent until they aren't.
Family sessions with me aren't about lining everyone up and smiling at the camera. They're about giving your family space to just be — together, outside, without an agenda — while I pay close attention. The magic is always already there - We just have to be ready for it.
I know how fast each phase moves, and I know what it means to have something real to hold onto. That's what I'm trying to give you.

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 senior sessions each season — not because I have to, but because every session deserves full attention, real preparation, and creative work that's actually personal. If you've been thinking about it, don't wait for the window to close.
