HOW IT WORKS
Your photo session includes both a planning consultation and a viewing session, all in the comfort of your home. The consultation gives us a chance to meet each other beforehand and plan the direction of the photo session. I’ll answer any questions you have and make suggestions for clothing and accessories. It also gives me the opportunity to determine which locations in your home will serve well as a backdrop for the photos and where photos might be displayed later. On the day of your photo session, I don’t schedule any other photo sessions, so there’s never any rush to finish up by a certain time. Most sessions last about two hours, giving us plenty of time to take breaks when needed. Your images will be ready about two weeks later. At that time, we’ll set up a viewing and ordering session. I’ll work with you to create warm and meaningful artwork customized for specific spaces within your home with suggestions for arranging images in groupings on the wall and to give you an idea of sizes that would work nicely together, as well as other display options designed to show off your images.

FAMILY SESSIONS
HOW DO I BOOK A FAMILY SESSION?
Just drop me an email or schedule a call and I’ll answer any questions you may have. We’ll talk about your vision and my style to determine if we are a good fit to work together. After we speak, you’ll be able to select a session date from my booking calendar that works for you, then complete my online portrait agreement and submit the session fee payment. Your session date will be reserved once the portrait agreement and payment are received.
I work with a limited number of clients each month so that I can give each and every family personalized service and attention. Session dates are often reserved many weeks or even months in advance. Reservations are on a first-come basis. Please keep in mind in order to accommodate as many clients as possible, proposed session dates can only be held for 48 hours and will only be reserved once payment is received. After 48 hours, the spot will be made available again for others to book.
WHERE WILL MY FAMILY SESSION TAKE PLACE?
Most often, I photograph families in and around their homes. This is my favorite option for many reasons: Kids usually feel most at ease on their own turf. We get to document your family with the home as a backdrop, adding another layer of meaning to photos capturing this time in your lives. No need to pack the diaper bag or remember snacks and pacifiers.
We can also choose a nice outdoor spot, weather permitting. We will discuss possibilities for the session during our initial phone call or at our planning consultation. Ideal locations are those with good natural light and where you feel comfortable and relaxed. We do not need to go to a landmark or a manicured garden (though I am happy to do so). A little bit of foliage, a brick wall, a wrought iron fence are all we need.
WHAT SHOULD WE WEAR?
Simple and comfortable clothing works well with my photographic style. Avoiding overly-fussy clothing that needs to be straightened will allow the photo session to flow more naturally and without unneccesary interuptions. It’s a good idea to stick to a color pallette of 3 or 4 colors for a cohesive look for the whole family versus everyone wearing the same color tops and bottoms. During our planning meeting, we’ll talk over clothing and accessory recommendations that will give polish to your images.
NEWBORN SESSIONS
HOW DO I BOOK A NEWBORN SESSION?
WHAT WILL OUR NEWBORN SESSION BE LIKE?
WHERE WILL MY NEWBORN SESSION TAKE PLACE?
WHEN WILL MY NEWBORN SESSION TAKE PLACE?
A newborn session is ideally scheduled when the baby is between 7 and 14 days old. During this period the baby will still be sleeping most of the time and will not yet be very alert to the world. The timing is dependent on individual circumstances of the client, as well as my availability. I ask clients to put me on their distribution list of friends and family to contact after the baby is born. Once I’m notified of the baby’s birth, I will contact the family right away to finalize the date and time of the session.
DO YOU USE PROPS OR BRING CLOTHING FOR THE BABY TO WEAR?
GENERAL INFORMATION
WHAT WILL IT COST?
WHEN WILL WE GET TO SEE THE PICTURES FROM OUR SESSION
About two weeks after your photo session, we’ll schedule an in-person viewing session in the comfort of your home. During our time together, we’ll go through the images, select your favorites, review the options for wall portraits, albums, gift prints, etc. and determine sizes to order. I’ll walk you through the whole process systematically and efficiently. And you’ll have me there to collaborate and provide expert recommendations on ways to beautifully showcase your images. At the conclusion of our meeting, you’ll have all the information you need to make final decisions and to place your order.
