How far in advance do I need to book?It is best to reach out 5-6 months in advance to ensure availability!
-
When should I have my newborn photographed?Newborn Sessions are photographed between approximately 1-3 weeks old for best results! At this time, they are still super sleepy and more easily pose-able for all those fun posed shots!
-
What is a Wrapped Mini Session? What is the difference from a "Classic Newborn" Session?The Wrapped Mini Session package is a shorter, budget friendly, option to my regular newborn sessions! The session is about 1 hour long (versus a full session being 2+ hours)! The Wrapped Mini includes images of your little one while they are FULLY SWADDLED in one of my beautiful, soft newborn wraps! One of the main reasons that this is a shorter session is because the session is wrapped posing, only. Newborns prefer to be wrapped, especially in their first few weeks of life! They will often sleep peacefully throughout the entire time they are wrapped, making the session run a lot more smoothly, and quick! The Wrapped Mini Session does NOT include : parent posing, nakey posing or posing in outfits. These sessions are SWADDLED POSING, only. Please see the attachment for an example of a "Swaddled Pose"!
-
How do I book the date for my newborn sessions if Due Dates can change?Due dates are often inaccurate! Some are born on their due date, many weeks before, and some even after! What I do is I mark down your due date after I receive a signed contract and 50% deposit from you! I only book a specific number of Due Dates per month so that I can ensure I have availability before and after your due date! Newborns are photographed within the first 1-3 weeks after birth for best results!!
-
Are props and outfits included? (Newborn/Cake Smash)For Newborn Sessions, I supply all props, outfits, headbands and hats! No need to bring ANYTHING! If you have something super meaningful you would like to incorporate, please let me know in advance so that I could plan ahead! ( I do not suggest bringing crochet newborn clothes or outfits from Amazon as they often are too big and do not photograph well! Just being honest!! ) For Cake Smash Sessions, I supply all background props! The cake and outfits are not included.
-
What themes do you have for First Birthday sessions?I have photographed too many different themes to name! I can of course offer some suggestions, but I am also totally open to new themes as well! Some people base their choice of theme of of their little one's Nursery decor, while others may choose a specific colored theme (blues, gold, pink etc). The possibilities are endless!
-
Is Family Posing included in my Cake Smash or Newborn Session?Yes, I can take a few images of your family before we begin the Cake Smash Session! For Newborn Sessions, Family posing is included with only the "Classic Newborn" Package
-
What Should I wear for Family Photos?Good news! I now have a styling guide for Family Photos! But in summary, it is best to stick to Neutrals for family photos! And try not to have too many patterns! I LOVE the look of flowy long dresses for Mommies and daughters! Another fan favorite; suspenders for little boys! Some favorite colors for family sessions are : beige, brown, rust, mustard yellow, off-white, grays and a nice deep green!
-
Can I opt out of having my child's images shared on social media?Of course!! As much as I would love to share your images, I 100% respect your decision on whether or not you would like to keep them totally private! I will create a separate contract in this case!
-
Can you PHOTOSHOP ______ out?!My editing technique is very natural. I mainly only try to edit the colors, exposure, background distractions and shadows/highlights of an image to match the style of my portfolio. I do NOT photoshop bodies. However, I will fix blemishes, bruises and stray hairs when necessary! *Please remember to always take out phones/keys from pockets, and take hair-ties and smart watches off of wrists!! Photoshopping is extremly tedious. In order to get your images back in a timely manor, try not to have in your mind "Oh she can just photohop that out!!". Let's save eachother some time and sanity !! 😉
-
Are you available on the weekends?I no-longer photograph on weekends, sorry!
-
When will I receive my images?My turnaround time is approximately 7-10 business days for portrait sessions! This ends up being about 2 weeks after your session!
-
Do you do Mini Sessions?I photograph Mini Sessions for Christmas! All other sessions are full sessions.
-
Are Digital Files included? Are Prints included?Yes! Each package comes with an Online Gallery with all your digital files ready for download! Prints are NOT included. But I do send you some recommendations on where to go for prints!!
