How long are sessions?
Most sessions last about 45 to 60 minutes. I allow space for breaks, movement, and natural moments. We never rush.
What happens if my kids don't cooperate?
That is completely okay. Children are meant to move, explore, and be themselves. I work with their energy, not against it. Some of the most beautiful images happen in those in-between, imperfect moments.
What if we feel awkward in front of the camera?
You do not need to know what to do, that is my job. I gently guide you while allowing real connection to unfold naturally. Just focus on each other.
What if the weather doesn't cooperate?
If weather becomes an issue, we will reschedule at no additional cost. I always keep a close eye on forecasts leading up to your session.
How will we receive our images?
You will receive a private online gallery link via email. Your gallery will remain active for 30 days, so please download your images during that time.
Can we print our photos?
Yes! Your gallery will allow you to download high-resolution images for printing. I can also recommend professional print labs for the best quality.
Do you offer extended family sessions?
Yes, I do! Please let me know in advance so we can plan accordingly.
What should we avoid wearing?
Try to avoid large logos, neon colors, or busy patterns. Neutral tones with one or two accent colors photograph beautifully and timelessly.
Do you require a deposit?
Yes. To reserve your session, a $75 non-refundable retainer is required at the time of booking. This secures your date and covers scheduling and preparation time. The remaining balance is due on the day of your session.
