FAQs

Our number one question: How does this whole thing work?

Finding the right photographer to suit your needs is the most important aspect to start with. You need to be sure the images produced and the experience you’re embarking on will truly represent you and your needs. Being a lifestyle photographer, my sessions are natural and relaxed to capture the moment as it truly is. My sessions are one hour, on location (meaning I come to you!) with all finalized images being yours to keep on digital download. Nice and simple for busy families! A private gallery link will be emailed to you with simple download instruction.

What is lifestyle photography?

Lifestyle photography means that there will be very little “posing” done during your session. We’ll allow you to interact in a fun and natural way to capture true smiles and genuine reactions. The images produced will be very organic while assisting even the most apprehensive family members who consider themselves camera-shy. No skill required to just be yourself!! I’m here to guide you!

When do you schedule sessions?

Sessions are scheduled between 10am and one hour before sunset on weekdays. Weekends begin a little earlier with “as early as you like” being my typical response for those early birds of the group!

How and when do you schedule newborn sessions?

Newborn scheduling can be tricky but the most important thing to keep in mind is your own health! It’s a beautiful and challenging time for new parents—whether its your first time or fourth time adding a new member to the family. I typically tell families that it’s best to do standard newborn sessions within the first two weeks after birth but that is all dependant upon how you’re feeling. I don’t prebook newborn sessions, as labor and delivery are unpredictable. Once we’ve chatted and families decide that I’m the right fit for their needs, I tell them to reach out again once their little blessing arrives so we can determine the best time to have me in the home to capture this time.

Do you provide props/blankets/etc?

I do not provide any props, blankets or accessories but rather use what each family has in their home. This not only ensures that each item is cleaned to your own personal standard but allows for a truly unique and personalized feel to your gallery. Nothing cookie cutter or forced about your gallery of images.

How soon will I get my finalized gallery?

Finalized galleries will be emailed to you via a private link within 2-4 weeks after your session. Please take this into consideration when planning your session date if you need your images by a specific time.

How long is my gallery active for?

Gallery links will be active for two months. I always remind families to download their images as soon as they can so they’re sure to have them on their desktop or usb drive. Once your gallery is archived, it can typically be reactivated if need be in the future but that’s is not guaranteed.

Do you offer albums and prints?

I do!!!!! I’m so excited to share that I now offer album design and printing—delivered right to you! So many families express to me that they have more favorite images than they’re able to print and get on the wall. Albums are a wonderful way to preserve your memories and investment for future years to come!
