FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:

Where is the session?

We can do the session at my studio or out in your favorite outdoors spot.  I have several locations to choose from depending on what look you want to go for.  Email me with your vision, and I’ll set it up for you.  Don’t have a vision?  That’s fine too!  I’m happy to help you get there.

What should we wear?

This answer completely depends on each individual client and where we are choosing to do the session.  I’m a visual person so I always suggest people look on pinterest and see what family photos pop out at them, and then use that as a guide for building the clothing pieces. Feel free to email me photos of outfits, and I’ll offer my opinion.

When can I expect to see my photos?

I usually take two to three weeks to edit the photos.  

What all combos do you take?

I start with the big group family photo b/c that’s generally the most important shot to really nail down.  From there we’ll break out and do different combos – just the kids, just the parents, each child, sometimes I’ll do a girls only shot, boys only shot, etc.  We’ll do posed pics, but I’ll also have you do more natural things that will be more in the moment.  Bottom line, you get a lot, and you get a lot of variety.  And by all means if you have specific ideas, please share them with me!  I’m always game for anything.

I don’t really know what I want to do with the images, can you help me?

Yes definitely!  That’s what I’m here for.  After the session, you can come into the studio, and I’ll help you decide on narrowing down photos, which photos work well together, etc.  I have software that allows us to use a picture of  your walls to show you exactly how different sizes and options will look.  No measuring, no guessing.  So you can visually see how things will look.  

My kids don’t look happy all the time like I see in your photos.

I get this a LOT.  Yes, children are not always happy.  Certain ages bring their own challenges, but we just roll with it and somehow it all ends well.  Have snacks and bribery available for kids.  It helps.
