Frequently Asked Questions
What kind of photographer are you?
I am a Lifestyle photographer specializing in family and newborn photography who uses primarily natural light to capture portraits of the best people in your life. I love to capture genuine expressions with interactions between loved ones.
How long will my session be?
Family sessions are usually about 45-60 minutes and move fairly quickly to keep everyone engaged.
Newborn sessions are usually 1-2 hours to allow time for breaks so that baby can be fed, changed and cared for.
Where will my newborn session be held?
Newborn sessions are typically held in the comfort of your home. I can complete a session with one large window that lets in good natural light; this is often in the master bedroom or the nursery. If your home does not have great window light, we can add some auxiliary lighting to help brighten the space. If the weather is good, we can also consider an outdoor location for your newborn photo session.
Where will my Family session be held?
Family sessions are typically held at an outdoor location, often at a park. We will choose a location together and I am happy to provide suggestions. However, I love exploring new locations and want your location to reflect your family's personality, so if you have a favorite spot in mind, let me know.
What should I wear?
You and your family should wear clothes that are comfortable and fit your personality. Outfits that coordinate colors without matching exactly provide a natural look while visually tying your family together. For more suggestions regarding clothing, check out this article on what to wear for your photo session.
What will my session be like?
Your session will be fun and relaxed. I want your family to enjoy playing together. In order to capture your family engaging with one another, I am going to ask you often to not look at the camera, but to look at each other as this is the best way to see the connection between all of you. We will, of course, take a few photos with everyone looking at the camera, but it’s okay (and encouraged) for you and the kids to not look directly at me.
Will I get the digital photos from my session?
Yes! Your session is all inclusive. I love so many of the photos from my sessions that I have a hard time choosing just a few, I don't want you to have to choose either. The session fee includes access to a digital gallery of the edited high resolution photos from your session. You can print photos directly through the gallery or you can download and print/display them however you choose.
