Scheduling
sessions are scheduled in the evenings
I prefer to schedule my sessions in the evenings closest to sunset for the best lighting. I will reschedule sessions due to inclement weather and illness. I have weekday and weekend times available.
Newborn Scheduling
newborn sessions are scheduled at your home
Newborn sessions are generally scheduled between 5 to 10 days but can be scheduled when it's comfortable for you. The session will take place at your home and both siblings and parents are included. The session will last about 1 1/2-2 hours.
What to Expect at your Family Session
My goal for your session is fun and great photos
I know how stressful it is getting ready and to a session on time. Most parents are stressed before the session even begins. I will do my best to make you all feel comfortable and relaxed. I will talk and guide you and play with the kids (since my kids are teenagers now I love playing with younger kids). I encourage parents to be playful and themselves during the session because this will help make kids feel comfortable and happy. My favorite is capturing those candid moments that no one is expecting. I highly recommend that you do not bring bribes with you like candy for instance. This technique usually back fires and ends with little ones crying for candy. However, I support any bribing you may want to do after the session, like getting dinner, ice cream, or playing at the park.
What to Wear
whatever you feel comfortable in
Wear what is most comfortable to you! Examples online are a great resource or finding one item of clothing you like and branch off of that. It's best to wear mostly solid colors (preferably not black or white) that coordinate with the season. You can mix it up a little and add some strips or patterns on the kids. It's probably easiest to find one item of clothing in a color you like then build from there. If you have questions or want to show me any clothing combinations feel free to email me!
