Family FAQ
-
What if my children can't sit still?
No worries! I am very patient and am able to snap a few quick shots while they are looking at the camera, and the rest of the session we can do activities to keep them busy and tell your story that way.
-
Do you have children?
I do not, however there are many children in my family who I love very much! I have worked with kids since I was in high school whether it was babysitting or tutoring, and now photographing.
-
How long will it take to get my photos back?
I deliver a sneak peek in a week, and then the full gallery is delivered within at least one month.
-
How far in advance should I book a session?
As soon as you know I am the photographer for you! Since I am also a wedding photographer, I tend to book up far into the future pretty quickly. I can usually work something out on short notice, but at least 2-5 months advance is appreciated!
-
Will you share our photos online or on social media?
Yes! I love sharing my work via blogs, social media, and my website. It also helps spread the word about my business and allows me to meet more lovely people like you! However, I completely understand not wanting your family online. If it makes you uncomfortable, just let me know! I have no problem keeping your images private.
-
Do you photograph only immediate family?
At my sessions any family is welcome! I recognize that families come in all shapes and sizes, so the more the merrier. The time of the session however remains the same, so I do recommend with larger groups to add time to the session in order to insure you get the images you expect.
-
Do you offer posed newborn photos with props?
I would love to photograph your newborn, however if you are looking for a studio production with backdrops and props I am not the photographer for you. I am happy to recommend some amazing photographers who provide that service, just shoot me an email! My style is more documentary with a few casual posed photos.
-
Are you able to work around our family's busy schedule?
Absolutely. My schedule is very unconventional as well, so with enough notice I am available weekdays, weekends, mornings, mid-day, and evening!
-
Are you up to date on all standard vacinations?
Yes. I have been fully vaccinated since childhood with whatever the doctors recommend. I also am fully up to date on my COVID-19 vaccination.
-
Can we involve our pets?
Yes please do!! I have 2 dogs and a cat myself and love animals of all kinds.
-
What if it rains or we can't make it?
I am happy to work with you to reschedule. We will keep an eye out for the weather a few weeks before the session and assess from there. As for other cancelations, we will discus on a case by case basis!
-
Do you come to our home? Meet us at a location? etc.
Completely up to you. I am down for a home session or travel to any destination to make your vision for your session come to life. Have no clue where you want to go? Don’t worry, I have many suggestions for locations we can explore.
