FAQ 1

"What do I/We Wear???"

This is by far the most asked question any photographer receives! The most important thing to consider is comfort! Everyone in the photo should be comfortable in what he/she is wearing.  It shows when clothes need to be tugged into place or someone needs to "suck it in" Find clothing that fits well!

There are a few tips to help make this decision easier.  The first is to consider color.  Do you want the photo to have cool tones or warm tones? It is nice to stay within the same color family.  Try to stay away from "matchy-smatchy" trends, jeans with white tops is a trend that has come and gone.  The second tip is to avoid too much pattern.  Some pattern with a pop of color can be nice but multiple patterns can come off as too busy. Once, you get your outfits finalized, take a picture of it yourself!  If you like the way it looks together, then that's all that matters!  Pinterest is filled with ideas and is a great resource.  

In summary

• Dress comfortably
• No matchy-smatchy
• Avoid busy patterns (thin stripes look psychedelic in photos. Stay away from stripes)
• Take a picture (lay it out on your bed. Send it to me too!)

Don't over think it.  Just be you! 

FAQ 2

"What if the children do not cooperate? "

This is the miracle work of the photographer! To ease our subjects and capture them at their best!  

The most important tip is for the parents to be relaxed and calm.  Young children and babies can sense a stressful atmosphere!  Take a deep breath, all will be ok.  Even in the worst-case scenario, it's typically possible to capture more "good' moments than parents ever think possible!  Embrace the moment - snot noses, silly faces, fit throwing and all!

FAQ 3

"How long does it take to get my photos?"

Your photos will be delivered within 2-3 weeks from the date of your session. 

I do my best to complete the processing of a photo session as quickly as possible and try to return the images sooner than 2 weeks, but can only guarantee they will not take longer than 3 weeks.  If you need your images back faster than 3 weeks, you can add a $50 rush fee.  This will allow you to have your session back in 7 business days.

FAQ 4

"What images do I get?"

All images that are considered the 'best' of the shoot. Every image is hand selected and edited. Every session will include a link to your high-resolution images with permission to download, print & enjoy! The gallery link is accessible for 2 years and shareable so that you can pass it along to friends and family or post to social media.  

FAQ 5

“Do I have to purchase prints from you in addition to the session fee?"

Nope. I know how expensive it can be to pay for a photo session then have to purchase prints from me separately.  Digital images are included with each session, you can purchase your prints whenever and wherever you like (I do have preferences of print shops, ask for my recommendations).  The price of each session is the only fee you pay to me.  

FAQ 6

"Who chooses the location?"

Typically, I choose the location based on what type of image you are looking to create.  But I am always open to other locations that you may be eyeing.  Any reservations, permits, permissions, or fees are the responsibility of each client. 

FAQ 7

"Questions about newborn session?"

When should I book my newborn session?
Typically, newborn sessions are booked 3-5 months in advance.  The more time I have to prepare for your session allows me to get all the materials and props to make your shoot customized to your liking.

How do I book a session?
Contact me via e-mail or through this website and I will get back to you as soon as possible.  When deposit is received, I will block off time to assure you that I will photograph the baby within 10 days after his/her arrival.

How long do shoots last?
Newborn sessions typically last between 2-4 hours (Could be more or could be less) depending on the baby's feeding schedule.  Your session won't be complete until I can promise you a beautiful variety of photos. 

Do I only take pictures of the baby during a newborn session?
No!  Sibling shots are an important memory so if this isn't your first baby I will definitely leave time during the shoot for sibling/family shots.  If this is your only child, I will be sure to capture mom and dad with your new bundle of love.
