Session Information and Frequently asked questions
I am interested in booking a session, when do I need to schedule with you?
If you are interested in booking with me please schedule as soon as possible so that I will be able to arrange my schedule with the dates you have in mind. At the the time of booking, your session fee is due in order for me to committ your scheduled date. Please understand that this is non refundable if you do cancel your session however, it can be transferred to another day.
Where are pictures taken?
I will discuss with you the kind of look that you want to express in your pictures. Whether you want classic, urban, scenic, etc. Please remember that I am an on location photographer so my best shots are with natural light. I have a variety of different locations that I love to use but am always open to suggestions.
What time of the day do you schedule your sessions for?
The last 2 hours before the sun sets allow for the best natural light. So depending on the time of the year, the time I like to schedule your session will change.
Do you have any props or accessories that you use at your sessions?
Yes! Props and accessories are some of my favorites to get pictures with. I have a variety of chairs, baskets, trunks etc. I am ALWAYS open to you bringing any chairs or props that help portray the “realness” of the person I am photographing. We can chat and arrange which ones you would like for me to bring.
What can we expect during the session?
I like my sessions to be fun, fun, fun!!! Please plan on about 1 ½ hours to 2 hours for each session. What I want portrayed in the pictures is the “real you”! I like YOU to shine through in the pictures! Please read the “About Me” section as this will describe a bit more of what I like to capture in my sessions. Every session is an adventure, and I want each picture to be different and unique; it’s always exciting to see how each picture turns out since every person is so different!
We’ve finished our session what are the next steps?
After your session I will place a few sneak peaks up on my blog within a few days. I will go through the images and pick 20-25 of your best images ready to view on my online gallery within 2-3 weeks of your session. These are the images you can select to order. The images will remain in the gallery for 2 weeks, orders must be placed within that time frame. Once you have placed your order you will recieve either your prints or images on CD within 1-3 weeks.
I’m ready to schedule a newborn?
Newborns are best photographed in the first couple of weeks after being born. They tend to sleep a lot more and can “bend” their bodies a bit more to get them in the best possible poses. I want them to look calm and snuggly. If your are interested in booking a newborn session please remember to book at least 4-6 weeks before your due date. Newborn sessions will take place in your home which will allow for the most comfortable atmosphere. I may ask you to turn up your heat in your house so that the baby will feel much more comfortable. I love to take outside shots close by the home if your baby is cooperative and happy and if it is warm and not too windy. I understand that newborns like to have their own schedule and so please plan on the session taking about 2 hours. I am more than willing to work with you and your baby until we are able to capture the best possible pictures.
