FAQ
Why do you require a signed agreement and retainer?
To reserve your spot on my calendar, a retainer is required at the time of booking. This ensures that each session is thoughtfully scheduled with clients who are committed to working together. The remaining balance is due on the day of your session.
What’s your preferred time of day for scheduling sessions?
I schedule sessions year-round and typically prefer to shoot in the evenings—about an hour before sunset—when the lighting is most beautiful. That said, I understand the needs of young children and infants and am always happy to accommodate earlier session times to keep everyone comfortable.
What do we wear?
Ah, the big question! Please check out my Client Guide, available under ‘INFO’ in the menu. It has all the details you need to prepare for your session with ease.
Can you slim me during the editing process?
Absolutely! If additional retouching will help you feel more confident in your images, we can definitely discuss the options. Please note there is an extra fee based on the extent of the editing requested.
My kids are sick, should we reschedule?
Yes, a reschedule will be needed for illness. Life happens, and kids plus germs often go hand in hand. Taking precautions helps keep me, my family, and all my clients healthy and safe.
Can we bring our dog to our session?
Yes—bring your dog, cat, turtle, guinea pig, lizard, or even goat! I love animals and welcome them to sessions as long as someone can manage their leash or provide a safe spot once their photo time is done. Please note that some locations have pet restrictions, so be sure to let me know if you plan to bring your furry (or scaly) friend before we choose the spot.
Do you offer seasonal studio sessions?
No, I no longer offer indoor or studio sessions. If you’re concerned about unpredictable weather as the holidays approach, I recommend booking your session earlier in the year to ensure the best conditions.
My husband is gumpy, should I leave him home?
Absolutely! No grumpy husbands allowed.
Can I have the RAW images from my session?
No.
