FAQ
How many pictures will we receive?
You can expect to receive between 50 and 150 photos. The final number will depend on several factors, such as the length of the shoot, the number of people or animals involved, and the number of locations. Packages include 15 to 100 downloads, more downloads can be purchased or earned with reviews.
How should we dress for our family session?
To help you prepare for your family photoshoot, I've put together a style guide that will be emailed to you shortly after you book your session.
What’s the best time to have a session?
There are two ideal times for a session, depending on whether you prefer to shoot outdoors or indoors:
Outdoors: before 11am or after 5pm, This timeframe offers the softest, most flattering natural light.
Indoors: Anytime that works best for your family.
How would you describe your photography style?
Focus on Candid Moments: I prioritize capturing genuine emotions and natural interactions in my photographs. This approach allows for a more authentic representation of the subject and a timeless quality to the images.
Editing Versatility: I offer a range of editing styles to suit your specific preferences. This can include vintage tones for a nostalgic feel, classic black and white for a timeless elegance, or true-to-life color correction to preserve the natural beauty of the scene.
When should I book a newborn session?
The ideal time to photograph newborns is between birth and 4 weeks old, when babies are sleepier and more easily posed for those classic, curled-up shots. However, beautiful newborn-style images can still be captured up to 2 months old—especially if you're looking for more awake expressions or a more relaxed, lifestyle feel. It's best to book during your pregnancy, usually in your second or third trimester, to ensure availability around your due date.
What if there is inclement weather on the day of the shoot?
Prioritizing Client Comfort and Safety:
I closely monitor weather forecasts leading up to your session. In the event of potential disruptions due to inclement weather, I will proactively reach out to you to discuss the situation.
Client Choice for Moderate Conditions: For conditions with moderate impact, such as light rain, wind, or snow, the final decision to reschedule or proceed will be entirely yours. My priority is your comfort and satisfaction during the shoot.
Rescheduling for Safety Reasons: In situations with potentially dangerous weather, such as lightning, blizzards, flash floods, or high winds, I will recommend rescheduling the session for safety reasons.
My goal is to ensure a smooth and enjoyable photoshoot experience for you. Open communication and flexibility are key!
