investment & booking | the wild portrait co.
exclusive storytelling sessions in kingsport, johnson city, and bristol
Because your family’s dynamic cannot be manufactured in a studio or rushed through a 15-minute time slot, I do things differently. I rarely offer mini sessions. I do not force stiff poses.
I accept just three premier clients per month to ensure a completely tailored, luxury experience from our initial phone call to the moment your custom artwork is placed on your shelves.
Sessions are held exclusively on Friday afternoons/evenings and Saturdays by appointment only. While a typical session lasts around 45 minutes to an hour, I never strictly cap our time together. We wrap up when your story has been beautifully and completely told.
the session concept | documenting your real life
Where does your family feel most alive? Your session can take place anywhere that holds meaning for you.
-
In-Home Lifestyle: Let’s capture the messy, beautiful reality of a slow Saturday morning at home—toddlers on hips, dancing in the kitchen, and quiet moments in the living room.
-
The Nostalgia of Friday Nights: Want to capture the true spirit of Appalachia? Let’s document your family’s local traditions. Imagine a documentary session capturing the energy of a Friday night lights football game—the walk to the stadium, the concession stand snacks, the stadium lights, and the memories your kids will look back on forever.
-
The Great Outdoors: Exploring the rolling fields and breathtaking foothills of the Smoky Mountains.
heirloom investment structure | these days are priceless
The Wild Portrait Co. is a full-service, product-based portrait studio. Our journey together is divided into two intentional parts to ensure your memories live on your shelves, not lost in a crowded digital camera roll.
1. The Creative Fee | $375
To secure your coveted Friday or Saturday date on the calendar, a non-refundable creative fee of $375 is required. This retains your custom session time and covers the artistry, time, and talent of your photographer.
2. The Custom Product Order
Following your session, we will curate your final images into tangible history. Clients invest in a minimum product order of $1,200, which can be custom-tailored to your home’s aesthetic:
-
Artisanal Print Boxes to pass around the living room (no phones allowed).
-
Linen Heirloom Albums to preserve the "itty-bitty" stages for future generations.
-
Fine Art Wall Display Pieces for your home.
-
Note: High-resolution digital archives are always gifted for every single printed portrait you select.
current calendar availability
I am currently booking August 2026 and beyond. Because of my strict 3-session-per-month limit, dates fill up incredibly fast.
Since every session is custom-tailored, all bookings and calendar consultations are handled directly with me over the phone. Let’s chat about the traditions, the spaces, and the wild moments you want to remember forever.
