Q: How do I book?

Please fill out my Book Now page or Contact Form! From there we'll discuss what you're wanting, see if I'm the right fit for you & then I will send you my retainer fee (20% deposit) and contract. Once those are both taken care of, you will solidify a spot on my calendar! 

Q: When will I get my photos?

Final edits are hand selected by photographer and delivered within 2-4 weeks (possibly longer during busy season)

Q: How far in advance should I book?

It is NEVER too early to book. I actually recommend it! The more time you have to prepare, the less time you have to panic. Styling is a huge part of photos, so the earlier you book, the more time you have to find the perfect outfits!!

If you’re unsure on work schedules, etc. We can always choose a month, then closer to that month, choose the date!

Q: Do you recommend hair + makeup?

I do, because that will take a big task off your plate and help relieve some of the getting ready stress! 

Q: Is there anything I should bring to our session?

I love doing sitting poses, so if you have a nice quilt or blanket that will compliment your outfits, it can be a nice addition to your session. If you don't that's totally fine! **Speaking of bring anything, it's always a great idea to leave valuables in the car and just bring maybe 1 small bag for baby is necessary.

Q: What time are your sessions?

I shoot all sessions at sunset. Which means 1-1.5 hours before the sun goes down (depending on location). I understand that during Summer that can be pretty dang late. I know for some kids, a late bedtime might mean a meltdown, but I promise if you are able to manipulate their schedule for a day or two, it’ll be all worth it.

I have a 'threenager' toddler so I whole heartedly understand the importance of an early bedtime and sticking to a routine, but sometimes exceptions can be made. If you’re not willing on compromise that, I understand & would recommend scheduling during Fall when sunset times are a lot earlier!

Another time when sessions can be manipulated if the weather is planning for an overcast day. Usually timing can be a lot more flexible as well!

Q: Can I bring my Fur-baby?!

Absolutely! I love fur-babies and have a dog lover. I recommend that your bring a friend/someone to help watch your fur-baby during your session, if you would like photos without your dog/pet in all the photos.

You better believe it! Kids aren’t meant to sit still. Kids aren’t meant to “look at me and smile” for an entire hour. That is ok!! Let’s not keep them in a box. Let kids be kids, let them roam, explore, and express themselves. If your kid is a wild little man, let’s capture that! I’m happy to jump around with him! If your little girl likes to dance, let’s dance!

I promise we’ll get some smiles, but most importantly I want to photograph who they truly are!

Q: My kid(s) doesn’t like to sit still and can get wild, is that ok?

I offer my clients an amazing styling service called
Style & Select! (www.styleandselect.com) You can choose your color scheme, style, and have clothes generated for you! It’s basically an online closet! Once you pair items together, if you love it, you can automatically go to that website and purchase! Or shop from your own closet from the styled guide!
 
Another option is let me do it for you! I love styling and if you’re open to whatever or have a specific vision, let me know and I can come up with something! Just know, I’m with you the entire way!
