FAQ
This is my first photoshoot and I’m kind of nervous.
Fear not! My job is to get you comfortable in front of the camera. We will both be warming up for the first few minutes. I will let you know ahead of time what to bring so you feel prepared!
What should I (or my child) wear?
Wear what makes you feel most comfortable. I find that simpler is better. You don't want your clothes to be the focus, but YOU! You can have one outfit change per half hour, but can vary with hats, scarves, or jackets.
Newborn parents can bring three favorite outfits and/or wraps. (Extras in case of accidents is a good idea!)
How many pictures will I receive?
The number of minimum files is specified in the session you choose. Your files will all be edited when they arrive in your personalized gallery!
How long will it take to get my pictures?
Typically 2 weeks, but it is often sooner because I am SO excited to edit your shots. In busy seasons it may take a little longer, but no more than three weeks. Rush orders can be placed for an additional charge.
How do I get downloads or prints?
When you receive your online gallery, you will also receive a special code to download your favorites. You can also select photos to print (and select from other products like wood prints or canvases) right from my online store! Share your gallery with friends and families so they can make their own selections, too!
Can I bring my dog to the session?
Yes! I love dogs and am more than happy to take your picture with them. Just be sure to exercise them before the shoot and have a person along who can manage them after they are done with their portion of the shoot.
