Frequently Asked Questions
HOW FAR IN ADVANCE SHOULD WE SCHEDULE OUR SESSION?
Whenever you're ready! Although no date and time will be set aside for you without a signed contract and retainer. I only book so far in advance, but if you know you are interested in a session at a certain point in the future, ask about my 'First Dibs' list! That way you will be notified when booking opens for that time! If you are looking to book something time sensitive, like a birth or newborn session, let me know as soon as possible!
CAN I RESCHEDULE IF I NEED TO?
Of course! Life gets busy and sometimes unexpected things come up. I get it! I'd love to know at least 24-48 hours in advance, if possible. Your retainer payment will be held for you and applied to your first rescheduled session.
HOW LONG DOES A TYPICAL SESSION LAST?
For most sessions, you can generally plan on spending 45min to an hour with me. For newborn sessions, this time is flexible and will likely be a little longer. Because of the nature of newborns, sometimes we need a little more time, as they aren't always on board with our time schedule.
WHAT TYPE OF PAYMENT DO YOU ACCEPT?
Cash, check, or payment through venmo would be great, thanks!
WHAT TO WEAR... WHAT TO WEAR...?
Coordinate, but there's no need to match exactly. A little variety is fun. Choose interesting layers and textures for a finished look. Your shoes matter. You're feet are likely to show in a few. It's best to coordinate with your attire, so avoid worn tennis shoes, or brightly colored shoes if they aren't the same colors as your clothing choice. We want to draw attention to your face, not your feet. Choose patterns wisely and use sparingly. For example, choose 1 or 2 people to wear a pattern, and coordinate everyone else's clothing to that choice with solids. Try finding a common theme with colors and clothing styles. Think about the season. Avoid logos, graphics, writing, etc. Feel free to ask me any specific clothing questions you have! I'm here to help. And remember, there's no real rules. If you like it, just go with it!
HOW WILL I RECEIVE MY PHOTOS?
After a session, I will sort through to find your best photos. I'll put your private proof gallery online for you to view, and from there, you can choose your favorites from the session. As soon as you get your choices back to me, I'll finish up editing, upload the high res jpegs, and send you a link to your final gallery where you can download straight to your computer, and store them wherever you like.
WHAT RIGHTS DO I HAVE TO THE PHOTOS FROM MY SESSION?
You are given a Print Release. This means you have the right to print and reprint however many times from your selected photos that you want, whenever you want. As per industry standard, the copyright stays with the photographer, which means you may not sell the images for profit of any kind, enter any of the photos in a contest with any monetary value or prize of any kind, or publish images from your session without the photographer's consent.
