I'd love to hear any questions you may have
FAQ
How many pictures will we receive?
The number of images depends on your package, and you always have the option to purchase more!
How should we dress for our family session?
Neutral and soft tones work best for a cohesive, timeless look. Avoid large logos or busy patterns. For families, coordinate outfits without being overly matchy. I can provide a style guide for inspiration.
What happens if my child doesn’t cooperate?
Don’t worry! I have plenty of experience working with kids and know how to make the session fun and relaxed. Sometimes breaks and snacks help, too.
Can we include pets in the session?
Absolutely! Pets are part of the family, and I’d love to include them. Just let me know in advance so we can plan accordingly.
When will we receive our photos?
You’ll receive an online gallery with your edited images within 2-3 weeks. Rush edits may be available for an additional fee.
Do you offer retouching?
Light retouching (e.g., removing blemishes, adjusting lighting) is included. More extensive edits can be done for an additional fee.
Do you travel for sessions?
Yes! I’m happy to travel for your session. Travel fees may apply depending on the location.
Can we share the photos on social media?
Of course! I love when clients share their photos. I just ask that you tag or credit me as the photographer.
What is your cancellation policy?
If you need to reschedule, please notify me at least 48 hours in advance. The deposit is non-refundable but can be applied to a new session date.
Do you offer mini-sessions?
Yes, I occasionally run mini-sessions! Follow me on social media or subscribe to my newsletter to stay updated.
Do you pose us, or is it more candid?
I do a mix of both! I’ll guide you into natural poses while capturing authentic, candid moments that showcase your family’s personality.
Where will the session take place?
We can shoot in a location that feels special to your family, such as your home, a favorite park, or an urban spot. I’m happy to suggest locations based on the style you’re envisioning!
Do you have payment plans available?
Yes, I offer flexible payment plans for larger packages. Contact me to discuss options that work best for your budget.
How do I book a session?
Booking is simple! Just reach out via email, social media, our website booking form, or phone. Once we agree on a date and time, a signed contract and a non-refundable deposit are required to secure your session.
Can I help with the planning?
Absolutely! I love collaborating with my clients to make sure your vision is realized. Feel free to share ideas or inspiration before your session, and I’ll guide you through the process.
What happens if it rains on the day of our outdoor session?
If we’re planning an outdoor session and the weather doesn’t cooperate, I’ll reach out as soon as possible to reschedule or discuss an indoor location alternative.
What happens if I’m not happy with the photos?
I work hard to ensure your satisfaction. If there’s an issue with the photos, let me know, and I’ll do my best to address it. If you're still unsatisfied, we can discuss options like a reshoot or partial refund depending on the situation.
Can I request specific editing styles?
Absolutely! If you have a certain editing style in mind (e.g., light and airy, dark and moody), just let me know in advance, and I’ll make sure the final edits reflect that.
Do you offer maternity or newborn photography?
Yes! I specialize in both maternity and newborn photography. For maternity, I recommend scheduling a session during the 7th or 8th month of pregnancy. For newborns, the best time for photos is within the first two weeks after birth, though I can work with older babies too!
Do you offer couples or engagement sessions?
Yes! Engagement and couples sessions are a wonderful way to capture love and connection. These sessions can be done in any style you prefer, from relaxed and candid to more posed and traditional.
What’s the difference between a family session and a lifestyle session?
Family sessions typically focus on posed portraits, while lifestyle sessions are more relaxed, focusing on candid moments that tell a story. Lifestyle sessions often take place in your home or at locations that feel personal to your family.
What is included in your packages?
My packages vary, but typically include the session fee, a set number of edited photos, an online gallery for viewing and sharing, and print release rights. Custom packages can be designed to meet your specific needs.
