FAQ

How did you learn photography?

I picked up photography as a hobby when I was in my first year of college and continued to learn until I had my first baby in 2018. Then in 2018 I decided I wanted to make this a side hustle where I finally learned how to shoot in manual mode and took many online courses to hone in on my photography skills.

What session types do you offer?

Here are the sessions I offer: family, newborn, milestone, birth, fresh 48, maternity, senior, & extended family. I have an emphasis on all sessions baby related & birth photography since I am also in the process of becoming a doula!

How long will it take to get my photos?

This is the real question here ;) I send sneak peeks out within a couple days of the session & send the full gallery out at 2 weeks after the session (birth sessions may look a bit different depending on how long I am there).

Do I get the copyright to my photos?

At this time I offer a print release form so that you are able to print photos at your convenience & you also have the ability to download the gallery.

How many photos will I get?

Each session will vary due to the amount of shoot time, but my lowest package offers 20 photos.

How early should we book a session?

During the busy season (spring, summer, & fall) you will want to book early! This past year my October was booked up by mid August, which I was shocked by, but nonetheless excited about.

What if I need to reschedule?

I allow rescheduling to happen in any health, sickness, rain, or emergency situation. I do have a $50 non-refundable retainer fee to hold your booking.

I don’t photograph well & I’m awkward - can you help me?

I sure can! It’s not every day you step in front of the camera, but know that with my style of shooting and natural posing I make sure you look natural & lovely in your photos. For some it takes a while to warm up to the camera and in those cases I am sure that you feel comfortable and relaxed during your session. It’ll be fun, I promise it won’t be as bad as you’re thinking! After all it is your family I am capturing.

My (child/husband/wife) hates being in photos - can you help me?

For children I love to follow their interests and photograph them in the moment even if they aren’t into the photos because they will warm up to me and give smiles. I also have bribes (these are okayed by you) to be able to help your child to give some smiles. As for your other half I always let them know that I try to shoot quickly and that there are breaks to chat. I usually hear back from clients who will tell me how surprised they were at how easy the session was and how relaxed they were too.
