FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:
Have a question? Start here:
How much is due at the time of booking?
A $200 retainer fee is due at the time of booking to hold your session date. The remainder will be due 3 days prior to our session date (or due date if booking a birth session).
What if it rains?
On days that call for rain, we want to be as flexible as possible. Rain showers are usually quickly passing so it may be a case of finding shelter and darting out to take photos during breaks in the rain. Keep in mind that while it may not be ideal, stormy skies can make for some amazing photographs. Another option is to EMBRACE THE RAIN and soak it up!
Where will our outdoor session be?
After filling out the contact form, I will be in touch with you and send over a location guide. We will work together to decide on the best spot for you and your family.
Where will our newborn session be?
Newborn sessions can either be done at the hospital or in your home. I'll be capturing those little yawns, tiny toes, and all the snuggles. I'm not the photographer to pose your baby in a basket with an oversized bow on her head. While that can be adorable, my focus is documenting the first few days with your new little love while you're settling in.
What time will our session be at?
Up to an hour after sunrise and an hour before sunset are the best times for an outdoor session. If your kids aren't early risers, a sunset session would be scheduled.
Newborn sessions will be scheduled for late morning.
What if my child cries the whole time?
Meeting someone new can be overwhelming for any baby or child, especially when that person is putting a camera in their face. That is why my approach to all sessions is first making a connection with your child(ren) and from there, we follow their lead (with a little guidance). My goal for all sessions is to capture authentic and real interactions between you and your family with minimal posing. Also note, I have two kids of my own. Little people can have big feelings so please don't apologize for any crying or sad kids. I get it!
What should we wear to a family session?
Above anything else, I want you to be comfortable and feel good about yourself. I do suggest not having too many different patterns or one color on everyone. Start with a statement piece/pattern (for example mom's dress or dad's shirt) and build from there using coordinating colors not matching colors. Solids are great! When in doubt, neutral colors and earth tones photograph well.
