FAQ
This is my first photoshoot, what should I know?
I’ll walk you through everything! Before your session, we’ll chat about everything from your style, location, and any ideas you have so you feel excited about our session. Show up a few minutes early, bring anything we talked about (like outfit changes or props), and just relax! I promise i will guide you through any posing and we'll have a great time!
What should I wear?
Based on your session type, coordinating outfits that photograph beautifully without feeling too “matchy” are always what I recommend. Neutral or soft color palettes, layers, and textures will add interest. Comfort is key, so if you feel good, it will show in your photos.
How many pictures will I receive?
The number of photos you’ll get depends on the type of session you book, but I always make sure you have plenty to choose from. Most sessions include a curated gallery of fully edited images, typically anywhere from 30 to 50 photos based on what package you pick. I always have the option to purchase additional photos or the entire gallery.
Are you available to travel?
Absolutely! I always enjoy traveling for sessions. Whether it’s a quick drive to a nearby city or a flight to your dream destination, I’m happy to come to you. Travel fees vary depending on the location and distance, but we’ll go over all the details during booking so there are no surprises.
How far in advance should I book?
I recommend booking as early as possible, especially if you’re hoping for a specific season, holiday weekend, or milestone date. Most families reach out 2–3 months ahead of time, and maternity or newborn sessions often book even earlier so we can plan around due dates and baby’s arrival. For just a classic family shoot 2-3 weeks in advance is plenty of time.
How long will my session last?
Most sessions run about 45–60 minutes, which is the perfect amount of time for families, couples, and milestones without feeling rushed. Newborn sessions often take closer to 2 hours to allow time for feedings, soothing, and those sweet detail shots. Extended family sessions may also run longer so we can capture every grouping and candid moment you want.
Where will my session take place?
We can shoot in a variety of locations based on your vision. Cozy in-home sessions, sun-filled outdoor spots, or even a favorite family location that is special to you. I have several beautiful options I love and can help you choose the perfect setting based on lighting, style, and the atmosphere you’re looking for.
How and when will we receive our photos?
You’ll receive a private online gallery within 2–3 weeks of your session. All images are sent after being hand picked and in my personal editing style and delivered in high-resolution, ready for download, sharing, and printing. You’ll also have access to options to add additional photos if you'd like at an additional cost.
How many images will we get?
The number of images varies by session type, but most galleries include 35–50 fully edited images for family, couple, or babies sessions. Extended family or longer sessions typically include more. You’ll also have the option to purchase additional images or the full gallery if you’d like every moment captured.
What happens if it rains or I have to reschedule/cancel my session?
The weather is always so unpredictable in our area! If rain or emergency forces a change of plans, we’ll work together to reschedule your session as soon as possible at no extra cost. I want your experience to be stress-free, so flexibility is built into my process. Please note that this does not mean that I will be able to coordinate rescheduling due to last minute change of plans or time constraints.
Can I bring my pets or extended family?
Absolutely. Pets, grandparents, cousins, the more, the merrier! Just keep in mind that larger groups may require additional time to capture every combination and candid moment, so extended family sessions are often a bit longer and priced accordingly.
Do you offer payment plans?
A non-refundable deposit secures your date, and the remaining balance is due 24 hours before your session. For larger bundles or first-year collections, I can set up a monthly payment plan after contracts are signed so you can spread out the cost into smaller, manageable payments.
