FAQs
What's the best way to tell if you'd be the right photographer for my family? If the images on this website speak to you, that's a great start! I believe that good photographs should document feelings, relationships and personalities and not just smiling faces. I create images that are soulful and slightly romantic -- images that focus on your connection with the people you love. I love working with people who are prepared to let their guard down, get cuddly, be silly and smile because they want to, not because they have to (the camera can tell)! If you're more comfortable with "everyone smile at the camera" portraits, there are many other photographers who specialize in that.
Will you help us prepare for our photo shoot? Absolutely. I do a pre-session consultation before every session, much of which is to help you prepare for your session We go over location, wardrobe and posing tips. You'll also find loads of info to help you get ready in the blog posts on this site!
How do you handle weather-related problems for outdoor sessions? I typically schedule your session date and a rain date at the same time, to be safe. If we have terrible weather both days, we will find another time to do your session that works for both of us because I want you to have those beautiful photos. Often, a little flexibility goes a long way. We can start a bit earlier on the day of your session to avoid incoming weather and be done before it hits. On the other hand, if you are happy to do your session in the rain (some adventurous people are!) I will pack a towel and see you there!
Where do you do your outdoor sessions? I have a few outdoor locations that I prefer to use for sessions based on their landscape, how busy they are and whether we can have good light for your session. I scout them before your session so we know what to expect (and whether they are still in good shape). Some locations may require permits in order to be used for photography. Be sure to check yours in advance!
Do you do mini sessions? I don't offer group mini sessions (the type in which multiple families are photographed in 20-minute blocks on one day). It is really important to me to invest time in getting to know and authentically capture the families I photograph in order to create something beautiful and true to each of them. I also believe in giving you time to talk to me about preparing for your session, whether you have questions about posing, choosing your wardrobe or how we will handle hungry little ones while we shoot. Believe me, it's these little things that makes a big difference during your session!
