Molly Beale Photography, LLC, Certified Professional Photographer, has a small in-home studio in the heart of Smithville, MO. In the studio is where I normally begin senior sessions, before heading on location. The studio is also where the reveal/ordering session will take place, 1-2 weeks after your session.

Molly Beale Photography, LLC, Certified Professional Photographer, accepts cash, credit card, checks, Paypal and Venmo. If you love ALL your photos and products, but the price is beyond your budget, a payment plan is an option. Please ask for more details.

Molly Beale Photography, LLC, Certified Professional Photographer, aims to make the portrait making process as painless and quick as possible. There is nothing worse than unexpected surprises that often come with an experience like your senior session. That is the main reason I remain transparent with my clients and provide unparalleled communication throughout our interaction. Here are the easy-to-navigate steps in the Molly Beale Photography experience:

• Pre-session consultation: This consultation can be very brief and in person or over the phone. The purpose is to ensure that we are on the same page as it relates to your session date, time and components. We will also choose a location during this meeting. The location could include anything from a natural setting to a cityscape, or many places in between! I will be happy to offer suggestions for locations that will truly make YOUR personality shine!
• When you decide that Molly Beale Photography is THE photographer for you, we’ll set your session appointment. While I make every effort to accommodate your schedule, desirable dates do fill up quickly.
• Session fee: Once your session date(s) is selected, you will receive an invoice via email. My process allows you to pay your session fee through a secure, online portal.
• Session Day! This is when the magic happens, and we'll have fun working through all your outfit changes and locations. 
• When your session is complete, we will set an appointment for you to come to the studio for your reveal session. This will include seeing your custom images, and gives you a chance to see the professionally printed products I offer. This is the time you will choose which images you'd like to order, along with any prints and/or products.

At Molly Beale Photography, LLC, Certified Professional Photographer, I attempt to give you the best value for your investment. I am always on the lookout for the best quality experience and products that I can offer, while keeping prices reasonable. Contact me so we can discuss your needs!
