7. wHAT IS THE STANDARD DELIVERY TIME?
Then you're in good company, because honestly, same! My sessions are all about connection, laughter, and authenticity. These aren't just old school, hold still and smile type portraits, my goal is to capture you and your kids as you are. This means lots of prompting as opposed to posing. I have an entire little smiles gallery built around goofy, fun, prompts designed to help your kiddos feel more comfortable to be themselves so we can get the best possible images and so they can have the best possible experience.
That said, even my own kids don't want to participate from time to time. I will never force someone into photos when they don't want to be there. I will do my best to artistically capture your little one as they are in that moment. There is beauty in everything around us, toddler tantrums and all.
6. wHAT IF MY KIDS DON'T COOPERATE?
My editing style leans true-to-tone with a light editorial feel, so outfits that are clean, classic, and not overly busy photograph beautifully. For individual portraits, solid colors, soft neutrals, denim, knits, or subtle textures work great. I recommend avoiding large logos, characters, or super bright neons since they can distract from expressions. If you’re doing group shots, loosely coordinating is perfect (think a similar color palette rather than matching exactly).
But truly, you can’t go wrong and the priority is that you feel comfortable to move and to be yourself!
5. What should i wear?
If you haven't already, please take a look at my gallery so you can see my editing style! I very strongly believe in capturing you as you are. I encourage everyone to remove items from pockets and to remove items you may not want photographed (purses, fitness trackers, etc). I am happy to edit apple watch screens so they are blank, but I do not do heavy editing and retouching that changes who you were in the session! You are the memory, I'm here to capture you as you are!
4. What do you edit or retouch?
I will cancel the session if there is inclement weather and we will reschedule at a mutually agreed upon time. This will not count against your one client re-schedule.
If you have concerns about the weather and I have not canceled your session, please reach out to me!
3. wHAT ABOUT WEATHER?
We will use the remainder of your scheduled session time from when you arrive! If you are more than 15 minutes late without notifying me, I will assume you have elected to cancel your session.
2. wHAT IF i'm late?
Session fees are non-refundable, but I am happy to work with you to accommodate one mutually agreed upon re-schedule for your session as needed.
