When is the best time to schedule a family session?
-
Family sessions can be scheduled year-round. The best time depends on your family’s schedule. For home sessions, morning light is often nicest. For outdoor sessions, I recommend staying with the schedule that works best for your children and family and planning the location accordingly.

Sessions can take place in your home, at an outdoor location of your choice, or at another meaningful spot. Depending on the collection you choose, we could do both home and an outdoor location. Backyards work great too. We’ll discuss the best location options during our consultation.

Can pets be included in the session?

Family sessions typically last between 1.5 to 2 hours. This allows us ample time to capture a variety of activities and candid moments without feeling rushed. I also like to provide plenty of time for everyone to warm up and feel comfortable.

Yes, I provide direction and suggestions for what to do and activities to ensure we capture genuine interactions and authentic moments.

What type of direction do you provide?

What if the weather is bad on the day of my outdoor session?
-
You may reschedule once if you notify me at least 48 hours in advance. We can transfer the session payment to a new date as long as it is within 6 weeks of the original booked date. This does not include rescheduling due to weather (rain, extreme cold) or a conflict out of my control. If I'm sick, I will also reschedule because I would never want to expose your family. In the event of session cancellation for any reason (other than weather), the retainer will not be refunded. If you cancel, all retainers paid are not refundable.

What happens if we need to reschedule or cancel?

How soon will I receive my photos after the session?
-
I provide light edits that may include adjustments in lighting, color, tones, and cropping. While I take pride in my craft and want to create beautiful and meaningful images for you, I don’t make extensive changes since my goal is to create natural and authentic photos. I'll remove little blemishes and polish things up, but I want your photos to represent reality. Please let me know in advance of your session if there's something specific you're sensitive about and I’ll do my best to accommodate.

How much do you edit the photos?
-
I do not share RAW images. The photos I take with my camera are not the final product and are considered unfinished works of art. I spend a great deal of time in post-processing and it’s the combination of capturing and processing the photos that allows me to artistically create the final images included in your gallery.
<< go back
<< go back
Do you share RAW images?
-
Yes, additional digital images and prints can be purchased. I offer various collections and print options to accommodate a range of needs.
