The Details
What if my little ones don’t want to cooperate?
I get it. I’m a new person and they are deciding if they can trust me. We are going to give them grace and time to warm up. It’s helpful that everyone stays calm. I know you invested money and want pictures to be perfect. But let’s give our kids time to be themselves.
How far in advance should we schedule our session?
My calendar varies, but there are some general rules to follow! For Newborn, Maternity, and Birth sessions, it’s best to reach out as soon as you’re considering having a session done, so that we can make sure it’s scheduled in the appropriate time frame for your needs. For portrait sessions, a couple of weeks in advance is usually more than effective!
Are there specific wardrobe details we should keep in mind?
I use a tool called style and select. I’ll help you find the perfect style WITH links, so that you’re fully prepared before your session. Or you’re able to add your clothes to a style guide and see what works best for your whole family.
How much time should we reserve for our session?
This depends on the type of session you have booked! Newborns need all the time in the world, we need time for feeding, wrapping, calming them down… Their sessions usually take 2-4 hours. Outdoor sunset portrait sessions are about 1-2 hours of shooting time, playing, and hanging out.
How are your sessions priced?
I have a session fee and then you’re able to add a collection of digital images that would suit your desired budget and set of products!
How long does it take to receive our final images?
Within 48 hours, you’ll receive a nifty little set of sneak peeks from your session. But your final gallery will be delivered within 2 weeks time.
What if I lose the images from our session? Will you keep a copy of them in case I need them again?
I do! But not for long. I keep all sessions for 1 year. Then after that, I cannot guarantee backup. I suggest backing up your own images to a cloud service, like Dropbox, or Google Drive.
What if we need to reschedule?
I get it life happens – and I know that unexpected family concerns pop up. That’s why I allow one reschedule within a week of your session. However, my availability may be limited. This does not include severe illness or weather reschedules.
What happens if my kids get sick before our scheduled session?
Oh no! Don’t stress. But we can reschedule. I want everyone feeling themselves at our session, so that we can capture your family without runny noses.
How should I prepare my home for a lifestyle session?
We can clean one corner at a time! Don’t fret if your home is not Pinterest perfect. I live with 4 kids and our home is lived in too. That’s actually part of the magic of lifestyle sessions – they preserve your family’s lives as you are, even if there’s a little lived-in-mess.
Do you choose the location for outdoor sessions, or do we?
Both! I have a handful of places you can choose from or if you have the perfect family spot, I’ll come to you!
Can I order products through you?
Yes! You get printing rights with your digital images but I also LOVE to design albums. I print through my professional lab and I can guarantee the color when printing.
Got questions?
It's exceptionally important to me that you get your questions answered before your session. So anything and everything you want to know - just reach out!
I aim to get back to all inquiries within two business days, so once your message goes through, keep an eye on your inbox for my response!
CLIENT THOUGHTS
"I love that you made Sophie feel at ease during her session, You were able to capture her natural beauty and nothing felt staged or un-natural about any of her photos. Being able to sit down with you after to talk about packages and ordering options was great, I never felt pressured to order anything that I didn't want. Thank you for all the time you spent with us."
