I will send you a Questionnaire two weeks before your shoot that will help me come prepared and make your experience amazing!
Preparing for your shoot
If we are doing an outdoor session, we will meet about 2 hours before sunset when the light is oh so dreamy! I will instruct you through all of poses (and fun activities if there are little ones) so you don't have to worry about how to stand or where to put your hands! No modeling experience necessary. All you have to do is have fun and focus on how much you love each other.
Your SEssion Day
I will post a sneak peek of your session within 48 hours! Then I will edit your gallery to perfection. You will receive a link to your online gallery within 2-3 weeks from which you can download ALL of the images! However, I do encourage you to print your favorites. Print has such a powerful impact on our screen weary eyes! If you have selected the Motherhood Collection, we will work together to design the heirloom album included in your package.

frequently asked questions
The time of day we schedule your session is very important! I schedule all outdoor sessions about 2 hours before sunset. This gives us beautiful, dreamy, flattering light.
You may have heard the term “golden hour” which refers to this gorgeous sunset light that photographers love!
For newborn sessions, I recommend contacting me to schedule when you begin your second trimester, and penciling in a date for 7 - 14 days after your expected due date.
For the session time, I recommend late morning or early afternoon when we have lots of beautiful natural light coming in through the windows!
.
For mamas, I recommend choosing a long, flowy dress. They are flattering on all body types and photograph like a dream! Dresses that have layers are my favorite because they soften the look and look oh so romantic.
For colors, I recommended warm, light colored neutrals such as creams, grays and whites as they will give your images that fresh, light, airy look. Then incorporate soft colors such as pale pinks, faint blues or muted jewel tones. Avoid dark, heavy colors, bright primary colors, and bold patterns.
When you book with me, I will send you my Style Guide that will go over outfit selection in great detail!
After we set a time and date for your session(s), I will send you an electronic invoice and contract.
The contract can conveniently be signed online. A retainer is due at the time of booking to reserve your date(s) on my calendar.
For portrait sessions, the remainder is due the week of your session date.
For the Motherhood Collections, the balance will be divided by the number of sessions and each payment will be due by the respective session dates.
Depending on the season and how many clients I have that month, it may vary, but most of my clients receive their gallery within two to three weeks.
You will receive a private online proof gallery of the high resolution, professionally edited images in JPEG form. From there you can select your 30 images, or upgrade to the full gallery.
I will also provide a “sneak peek” of 1-3 of my favorite images on Instagram and Facebook within 48 hours of your shoot!
When choosing outdoor locations, I am looking for both beautiful backgrounds, as well as places that allow me to control the light. Usually this means a place with trees or buildings that I can use to diffuse or block harsh light.
When you book with me, I will send you my Location Recommendation Guide that has examples of all of my favorite local spots for gorgeous portraits!!!
I am always up for exploring new locations if you would like to shoot somewhere else! Just keep in mind that I will almost always have you facing East so that we have gorgeous sunset backlighting, and even light on the front of you. I'll never have you facing the sun. Just keep that in mind when looking at locations. Light beats background, every time!!!
Because your images are professional quality, they deserve professional printing! These high end prints ensure color accuracy and beautiful skin tones. I use a photo lab that uses the HIGHEST quality ink and photo paper. So much detail is lost in a poor quality print!
And the best part? They are very affordable! When you order prints through me, they ship directly to your home.
I edit your images on a monitor specifically calibrated for professional printing. Of course you are welcome to print anywhere you like, however if you choose to print elsewhere, I cannot guarantee they will look like the original edit.
