Frequently asked questions

How far in advance should I book my session?

The sooner the better! All session dates are booked based on availability. For weddings, it is suggested that you book at least one year in advance to secure your date; for all other sessions, it is suggested that they are booked two-to-three months in advance. 

02.        

When are session fees due? Do you require a deposit?

02.        

When are session fees due? Do you require a deposit?

All session fees are due the day of the session. For weddings, a $300 non-refundable deposit is due at the time of booking and balances will be due as per our contract.

03.        

What poses or prompts do you offer?

03.        

What poses or prompts do you offer?

For family and couples images, I offer several prompts to capture your authentic interactions and smiles - you'll never be left guessing what to do during your session! For newborn sessions, baby's safety and comfort is my first priority and I therefore cannot guarantee all poses (but will do my best to accommodate and achieve your vision!)

Who supplies the props and outfits for newborn and maternity sessions?

Who supplies the props and outfits for newborn and maternity sessions?

I sure do!  I have a curated newborn closet sourced from across the globe. Before your session, you'll receive an in-depth questionnaire so I can learn about your preferences.

For maternity sessions, you are able to use all of my maternity gowns - and don't worry, there is no extra charge to use them!  Everything is built into your session investment.

05.        

What is the best age to photograph my baby?

05.        

What is the best age to photograph my baby?

Newborn sessions are suggested within two weeks of baby's arrival - this way, they are still super sleepy and curled up.  But that being said, this is just a suggestion!  I have worked with newborns several weeks old and welcome all newborns in the studio.  Seriously though, who doesn't love seeing and holding new babes?

What health and safety protocols to you follow for sessions?

How to we prepare for our newborn, family, or couples session?

Prior to all sessions, you'll receive an in-depth questionnaire to complete, this way, I am able to deliver on your must-have images, poses, and feel for your session. In addition, you'll receive wardrobe suggestions to make sure your images look their very best!

When is the best time to shoot?

13.        

When is the best time to shoot?

I am beyond obsessed with dreamy golden light, which is why I suggest shooting all sessions within 1.5-hours of sunset.  I understand that it's not always possible, but if you and your crew can swing it, it will be SO worth it!
