Trust me, I know selecting outfits that compliment each other while making every family member happy is no easy task. So, once you’ve booked your session, I’ll send you a guide stuffed with tips covering exactly this question. I even offer complimentary outfit consultations to ensure you aren’t stressed by clothing the morning of your session!
The thought of coordinating outfits for my entire family stresses me out. Can you help?
Don’t worry! As a mom myself, I know kids are energetic, rambunctious, and unpredictable. That’s why my session experience rejects the idea of perfection in favor of connection. Life isn’t all perfect smiles and flawless poses, so let’s wholeheartedly embrace the hugs, silly faces, and wet kisses that make your children come alive in photos! Let’s encourage them to play and tell funny jokes. I promise you, the more fun they have, the more genuine their smiles will be, and nothing makes a photo more beautiful than your little one’s toothy grin.
I just know my kiddos won't behave for your session, so I'm nervous to even book!
I am happy to travel to wherever you would like! Travel fees can apply unless I am already in the area. Travel dates are also released through the email list!
Are you open to traveling?
Yes! I love offering petite sessions for families who don’t need a full session. Petite sessions are offered at specific locations. I also offer petite session days at a smaller rate. Those are offered during specific times of the year and are released through my email list.
Do you offer a petite session?
A full session is typically 60-90 minutes. This session is definitely more hands-on. We can create a private Pinterest board where we will brainstorm locations, outfits, and color combinations that will work well for your family. While I do typically suggest one outfit for the entire family with a session (I know dressing your entire family for photos is stressful!!). You're more than welcome to do two outfits with this session. You'll receive my full planning guide to help you prepare your entire family (Even dad! ).
Petite sessions are a 30 minute session at a location that I select. These sessions are great if you're looking for a quick session or have little ones who might not be able to make it through a full session. These sessions are one outfit and one location. You will receive my full planning guide to help you with outfit selection and preparing your family for the session.
Petite session days are 20 minute sessions that are dates and locations that I select. These sessions launch later in the fall and time slots are based on a first come, first serve booking process.
What is the difference between a full session & petite session?
YES!! I love doing in-home sessions! It's a great way for kiddos to be themselves during our session because they are already in a space that's comfortable to them. Don't worry about having to feel like you need to clean your entire home top to bottom. I'll guide you through finding the perfect most magical light in your home and then we will focus on using those rooms for the session.
If you are craving that in-home session look but really don't want to do the session at your home. With my guidance we can rent a home to do the session in. Yes, you can really rent homes for a photo session!
Can we do the session at our home?
One of the best things about my collections is that I DO NOT limit the amount of images that I give you per session. However, I definitely value quality over quantity. I would much rather give you 40 beautiful images where your hair is in place, your necklace isn't turned backwards, and everyone is looking great. Rather than 150 images where things are all out of place and lots of little things are noticeable. Most of my galleries will be delivered with color and black and white images for every image.
How many photos will we receive?
I do my very best to keep up with the weather prior to your session. I'll check in with you a few days prior to your session date. If by chance the weather forecast isn't ideal for your session day, I coordinate a new date that works for both of our schedules. OR we move the session to an indoor location. Your deposit will transfer over to the new date, so there is no need to pay a new deposit.
What if the weather isn't looking good?
After you book, we will connect either via phone or zoom so we can discuss what your dream session looks like. Once I know what the vibe of the session that you want is, I'm happy to offer location ideas from my list of locations. Or! I'm always game for new locations that you love and are special to you. Maybe your home and backyard are the perfect spot.
For a petite session, I’ll send over the location address once you've booked. The sessions are typically done at a very neutral, outdoor setting.
