FAQ’S

HAVE QUESTIONS?

(Oh, who am I kidding? I know you do. I’m a mom too.) 
I’ve answered the most popular ones below.

What should I expect during the actual session?

In all seriousness, each session lasts up to two hours. During that time, you’ll do your thing (or another fun activity we’ve planned). As for me, I’ll follow you around with my Nikon, give a few directions, make a few ridiculous faces and basically, document all the “traditional” moments you’d expect, plus the unexpected ones, too.

You should also expect to encounter a photographer (that’s me!) with loads of patience, lots of kindness and a keen understanding that whatever happens, happens–and was meant to happen. (Trust me: After many sessions, I know the best photos can come from the silly moments or “mistakes” – so there’s no “wrong way” to do this!)

But what about meltdowns or temper tantrums? They’re not fun at all.

Don’t worry, mama! Rest assured I’m awesome – a legitimate pro – at handling any potential meltdowns or mishaps.

You literally have nothing to worry about. :)

Sounds great. But like..what if I/we don’t know WTF to wear or something? Can you help?

I can be as hands-on during this process as you’d like, so there’s no need to stress about a single detail. (Especially the clothes part. I get it.) Wanna text me from the mall dressing room & ask my opinion on little Jaxon’s shirt or your new wrap dress? No problem. Need me to suggest the most fabulous local makeup artists or where to get the best blowout for your buck? I can help. Want help picking a true-to-you theme or location? Mm-hmm. I’m your girl.

Seriously: I’m delighted to help you as you make decisions about how you want to show up for your shoot, including wardrobe, makeup and more.

Basically? I’ve got you.

Okay, so be real with me. Is this really going to be a good time?

Definitely! But here’s the best part: You won’t just have a blast on shoot day, you’ll also have treasured hold-em-in-your-hand mementos from the day to look back on forever. Whether you decide to pass ‘em on down to the kids when they fly the coop or simply hang onto like the heirlooms-to-be that is up to you. Either way, it’s a win-win scenario!

How does the print/product-buying process work?

After we’ve captured your family, I will select and individually retouch each image with a crazy (some might say obsessive) amount of love and care.

After approx. 3 weeks, I’ll send you a link to an online slideshow to view the proofs of your images from the comfort of your own cozy couch. Once you’ve scoped ‘em all out, you’ll have the choice to checkout online with an easy-to-use online shopping cart or set up an in-person ordering session.

Whether you order online or off, you’ll get to pick exactly which photographs you want and how you want them– whether that’s as prints, albums, canvas, or any other variety of lovingly-handcrafted photo products we offer.

If we meet in person, I’ll pop on over to your place with our pretty pricing guide, samples of our various products & your favorite order from Starbucks, obviously. You don’t have to do a thing but ask any lingering questions, place your order & get excited about the images coming your way! (Oh and bonus: While doing in-person orders, I’ll also make personalized recommendations for photo products I think would enhance your living space!)

Finally, once your order is ready, you can come pick them up or I can drop them off. And then they’re yours forever–just like your family :)

I’m SO ready. How do I book/reserve a session?

Let’s talk ASAP. (I’m usually booked 4-6 weeks in advance.)
