Frequently asked questions.

How Many Photos Will We Be in our Gallery?

There are a lot of variables to consider with this question, like the length of our session, how many people are involved, and how many different locations or activities are covered in our time together.

I rarely deliver less than 100 photos in a gallery, and I try hard not to deliver more than 200 photos.

Why Are Your Photo Sessions So Long?

The last thing I want is for anyone to feel rushed during our session. The best, most natural pictures are made when people are enjoying themselves and feel comfortable--even better when they forget I'm there.

We don't have to use all of the time we set aside, and for longer sessions I won't be shooting every second. But the longer built in time allows for multiple locations plus a variety of moods--no need to sweat the tantrums because I'll be there for the calm, too. 

Do You Offer Mini Sessions?

The short answer is no. The way that I want to document your family's story just isn't possible in a mini session...With that said, I sometimes run mini session specials (for Mother's Day, for example) and if you're interested be sure to sign up for the newsletter down below!

What Locations do you like to photograph?

My very favorite location is your home. Your home is such a big part of your story, and it's where everyone is the most comfortable. I'm also happy to head out into your world to locations that are meaningful to you and your family, and part of your life.

What if the Weather is bad?

If we need to reschedule we will. I want you to love your photos, and if the plan was to be outside we will push it to another day.

What Should We Wear?

I want to document your real life, so I want y'all wearing your real life clothes that you feel great in. I'd say avoid neon and giant logos that are distracting, but other than that, you do you.

What Time of Day is Best for lighting?

I want to document your real life, regardless of lighting. We want everyone to be happy, so that's often mornings but you know your family. If our session is outdoors or in public, then earlier might be better when less people are out and about. But good moods trump pretty light any day of the week!

Do you Sell Prints?

Yep! When you receive your on-line gallery it is connected to a shop with prints, framed prints and albums from professional labs. Albums are my favorite, and I'm happy to help you decide on products and design your perfect album for you. You are free to print your photos anywhere, I just hope that you print them somewhere. And yes, there is a difference between cheap prints and professional lab prints, especially when it comes to how long they will exist. Heirloom prints will last for generations.

Stay In the Know.

I try to send out a newsletter seasonally with updates and any upcoming promotions I’m offering.

I promise I don’t sell your info or anything weird like that.
