Welcome
I am so happy you are considering Rustic Thyme Studios for a session! I strive to offer you the BEST experience possible. Here are some things to expect after booking a session with me:
​
-
Access to my exclusive wardrobe, backdrop, and prop collections. I have 200+ items of clothing to style clients of all sizes, 75+ backdrops, and more props than I can count (or care to admit to my husband).
-
I have a fully stocked studio in downtown Belle Plaine, perfect for newborn and indoor sessions.
-
If outdoor sessions are your thing, I carry several location permits for locations in Carver, Henderson, Jordan, and Belle Plaine. I also have exclusive access to our farm outside Belle Plaine with COWS. Let's chat if you have another location in mind!
-
A session includes a mix of posed and candid photos.
-
All clients get access to a client portal. Think of this as your "session locker" so you won't lose any important details.
-
Online proofing and final galleries.
-
Access to my professional printing lab for archival quality prints and a personal print and use release is included with your online final gallery. This means you can easily order prints through me, but you are not required to.

Please use the "inquire" button below if you want to book a cake smash session, or request a specific location (i.e your house or a location that requires a permit).
Interested in a newborn session?
I only schedule a few newborn sessions each month to make sure I have availability when your little one arrives -- because let's be honest, they truly run the show.
You can book your newborn session as soon as you have your due date! Don't worry, I can keep this secret! That said, most book their sessions when they are 4-6 months pregnant.
if you've already had your baby but haven't book yet? Don't worry! You can still reach!
