The Sugar Cookie Project



There are moments in life when photographs become more than photographs. They become something you hold onto this side of Heaven.


Sugar Cookie Sessions were created in memory of my Nana. One of the last real memories we shared was baking sugar cookies in her kitchen—and now it’s one of the moments I hold onto most.


These sessions are for families facing a terminal diagnosis who want to preserve this season with honesty, intention, and deep care.

Sugar Cookie Sessions are offered in a limited number each year and are reserved for families facing a medically documented terminal diagnosis.


Each session includes a one-hour, connection-focused experience, either in-home or at a meaningful location, with a full gallery delivered with care and intention, along with a $50 print or studio credit.


Because of the nature of these sessions, all inquiries are reviewed personally and prayerfully on a case-by-case basis.


These sessions may be offered for families walking through a terminal diagnosis involving a parent, child, spouse, grandparent, or immediate family member.


If you or someone you know may be a fit for a Sugar Cookie Session, please reach out using the form below.


These sessions are held with deep care, and it is an honor to be invited into them.

 

FAQ

Do I need to provide documentation?

Because these sessions are limited and set aside for a specific purpose, supporting medical documentation may be requested during the inquiry process.

 

Does submitting an inquiry guarantee a session?

No. Each inquiry is reviewed personally and prayerfully, and sessions are offered based on fit and availability.

 

Is there a cost for a Sugar Cookie Session?

 

It depends. When sponsorships are available through individuals or businesses, those funds are used to fully cover the session. If sponsorship is not available, the cost is handled privately and with care for each family.

 

What can the studio or print credit be used for?

The $50 credit can be used toward professional prints and products ordered through your gallery. All items are printed through my professional lab so your images are preserved with the same care they were captured with.
