TYPE OF PHOTOGRAPHY

I’m an on-location, natural light photographer.  My style can best be described as natural, fun and modern. I do not strive to provide you with just one perfectly posed photo, but instead give you an entire gallery filled with genuine photos of your family that capture the story of your life.

WHEN TO BOOK A SESSION

Family Sessions are booked 1-3 months in advance.  Newborn sessions are typically done within 10 days of coming home from the hospital. I only allow for a certain amount of newborn sessions a month so book as soon as you can.  Maternity sessions are scheduled around your 8th month – so you can have a nice round belly but not too close to your due date.

GETTING STARTED

Once your deposit has been paid we’ll get to know each other a little better over phone or email and discuss the details of the photo shoot.  We can go over location choices, what to wear, and answer any other questions you may have.  Based on our conversation  I will provide you with a list of location options or I’m always open to shooting in your home.

TIME OF SESSION

To get the look and feel of the photos you see, I prefer to shoot within two hours of sunrise and two hours of sunset.  If you have little ones that go to bed early, I suggest the morning session time.  Some people may think, “whoa…that’s early” but the great morning light will make it worth it.

WEATHER

I am a lover of light…which means I want to have great light for our session.  If the weather seems like it may rain, if it’s too overcast, or if it’s too windy…I’ll reschedule our session to a better time.

WHAT TO WEAR

AHHH…this can be the biggest cause of stress!  Check out my PINTREST board for inspiration. My main piece of advice is make sure everyone is comfortable.  If someone is wearing uncomfortable clothing, they will look uncomfortable in the pictures. Try to keep it simple and relaxed.  Not everyone needs to match perfectly, just find colors that look good together. Accessories can add fun details to pictures and really make them pop.  Plus, they are a quick way to change up an outfit if we take some pictures with them on and some off.    Some pictures will include shoes, but don’t be surprised if I ask you to go bare foot.   Remember to bring a change of clothing for little ones (just in case something happens).   And of course if you are stuck picking an outfit, you can always contact me for more advice.

IMAGES

My sessions are all inclusive, so you get to keep all of your images.  Approximately 2- 3 weeks after your session you will receive an email with how to view your online gallery. From your gallery you can download your images as well as order additional prints or products.
