Whatto Expect

So,what'snext?

Let the fun begin!

Together we will start planning all the details of your upcoming session. I do this through questionnaires & personalized styling guides. Styling is an important element in the overall look & feel of your session. Getting those sweet genuine moments that are personal to your family is one of my top priorities Questionnaires help me learn more about your family, business/ yourself, so I am able to curate moments during your session that mean the most to you.

Getting family photos taken can seem intimidating but i promise it doesn't have to be. I'll be here every step of the way. Our session together will be filled with the GOOD STUFF. Family, snuggles, laughter, & genuine connection between you & your family

What To

I love editing with EARTH tones & mixing in JEWEL tones will give your photos a beautiful pop of color like the photos throughout this guide. I suggest incorporating this color palette into your wardrobe.

1 Arrive On Time

Families that come in late will feel rushed & disorganized & will unintentionally set the tone for the remainder of their session. Be sure to give you & your family time to get ready.

2

Plan Accordingly

I highly reccommend planning accordingly when it comes to babies/small children This means altering feedings & naps around your scheduled session. So everyone is happy when it's time for your photos.

3 Let It Be

Don't sweat the small stuff Have fun with your family Don't be afraid to play & interact with your kids & partner Doing so will allow me to capture all that wonderful connection between you & your loved ones.

4 Hold the "Cheese"

Yelling for your kiddos to look at the camera & say "cheese" will only stress them out & result in unnatural smiles Allow me to interact with them so i can pull from each of the personailties & get their real genuine smiles

How does the booking processwork?

After filling out the contact form. I will reach out via email within 24 hours. From there, we will work together to figure out the best date for your session! Once your session date is confirmed, I will email you a retainer invoice. After paying your retainer, you date will be officially "reserved." The remainder of your session fee is due a week before your session date.

What time will my session takeplace?

All of my sessions take place at golden hour. Golden hour is approx. 45-60 minutes before sunset. Timing for golden hour varies throughout the year. In the summer it is much later than in the Spring or Fall.

WhenwillIgetmyimages?

You can expect to have your fully edited gallery in 3-4 weeks. I will send out a link to your private gallery via email. Through the link you will be able to view, download, upload & share your gallery with all your loved ones.

Where will our session take place?

I will reach out a few days before your session to send you an exact time & location. I spend hours scouting out the perfect locations for my clients so I will choose a location that i know will be amazing for your upcoming session.
