FAQ
Do you travel for photoshoots?
Yes!
I do travel for sessions and weddings. There are typically additional fees to help cover travel, food and lodging.
Sessions and weddings where travel is required must be scheduled in advance to allow for time to plan the travel and lodging requirements.
Can I use the photos for social media and marketing materials?
You are welcome to post the photos included with your session on social media. Anytime you post photos we appreciate being tagged in the photos so that we might enjoy them as well.
When do you recommend photographing newborns?
If you want classic newborn photos of your newest family member I have to recommend having the session between day 5 and day 12. I typically schedule the session based on your edd and other factors that we will go over during our chat.
When do you recommend doing maternity photos?
For most moms I would recommend shooting for a session between weeks 28 and 32. I believe this is the best time that yields the best experience for expecting mamas. It also allows a little wiggle room should your session need to be rescheduled for any reason.
How do we book a session?
We can meet together in person before booking or I can send over all the booking details via email. The link will allow you to fill out a questionnaire, finalize your package details, select a date, sign the contract and make payment to secure the date.
Do you provide unedited images?
If for some reason I have a hard time narrowing down your images on my own, I may send over a gallery with proofing images. You can help me select your final images for editing. All final images will be edited to my high standards. If you have something specific you would like altered there may be an additional fee.
Do you offer Birth or Fresh 48 Photography?
I do offer Birth Photography. Please reach out for a custom quote.
Do you offer Engagement Sessions?
Yes! We can discuss your goals and plan a unique session that tells your love story.
Do you offer Maternity Gowns or a Client Closet?
Yes! I have a client closet and a large collection of Maternity gowns that you can use during any custom session.
Do you offer cake smashes and milestone sessions?
Yes, I offer these session styles for my client family.
Do you have any safety training for newborn photography?
Yes! Your newborn's physical safety during the session is super important to me. I have been certified by APNPI in Newborn Safety and have a certification in Posed Newborn Photography via APNPI as well.
Do you offer artwork and albums?
YES! There is nothing that nurtures love in your home like having your families' portraits up on the walls. We have a large selection of products to help you display and share your new family heirloom portraits.
Do you provide planning & styling services?
Yes! Our storytelling session allows me to help your family design a session and the outfits you will wear to craft a beautiful love story with your own special family in mind.
Will we get an online gallery?
Yes, about 1-2 weeks after your session you will get an email with a link to a gallery. IF I send extra proofs and ask you to make final selections you will have a week to do so.
Your final images will be edited to remove distractions.
