Q&A
01. how do i book & pay for my session?
To book your session I ask for a non-refundable retainer to secure your spot as well as a signed contract. Retainer fees are included in the total. Once you reach out & we confirm a date for your session you will receive an email with your invoice attached, from there you will be able to make your payment and sign your contract. A final invoice will be sent the day prior to your scheduled date. Split payments are available upon request but all payments are to be paid in full by the day of your session.
02. How should i prepare for our session?
Choose a theme that feels authentic to you and your family such as style, color scheme & location. Coordinate your outfits to compliment each other rather than matching. Light, soft colors photograph well in my sessions, such as creams, white, soft pink and blues & subtle patterns. Avoid mixing too many patterns as this can result in images to look busy and detracting. Plan for hair & make-up if desired and feel free to bring props & toys to keep the little ones happy and entertained.
03. when and how will i receive my images?
My average turn around ranges from 2 to 4 weeks, depending on the type of session and the season. Each gallery is sent through an easy photo sharing service called Pixieset. I will email a link to your gallery and from there you will be able to download photos at no extra cost. Please make sure to download & back up all of your images once receiving your gallery, I am not able to store your images forever if you were ever to lose your photos in the future.
04. what can i expect on the day of our session?
I like to ease into each session placing focus on getting acquainted with you & your family and allowing your family to ease into a moment. We’ll create quality family time throughout the session, starting with traditionally posed shots leading into more authentic moments to get candid interactions between you and your family. I encourage mothers & families to relax, feel free to move, play, interact, touch & snuggle as if I’m not even there, however I will always guide and prompt when needed.
