FAQS
How do I choose which collection is right for my family?
Each collection is designed to fit different needs and milestones. If you want to capture multiple stages of your child’s first year, the Milestone Collection is perfect. For a single, full session, the Signature Collection works beautifully. And for a shorter, in-studio session, the Intimate Collection is ideal. I’m happy to guide you in choosing the best option for your family’s season.
Where do sessions take place?
Sessions can take place in my studio, outdoors in natural light, or in your home. (The Intimate Collection is studio-only.) I’ll help you select the location that best fits your vision, style, and comfort level.
Can I use the studio wardrobe for my children?
Yes! Mothers have access to a curated selection of formal and casual clothing. While children’s options are limited, thoughtfully chosen pieces are available to coordinate with your session’s look.
What if I want floral styling for my session?
Floral styling is an optional add-on for studio sessions. It adds a soft, fine art touch to your images and can be tailored to your session’s color palette and style.
How do I receive my images?
After your session, you’ll receive a fully curated digital gallery to view and select your favorite images. A selection of digital files is included with your session, and you have the option to upgrade to additional images or the full gallery.
How far in advance should I book my session?
I recommend booking as early as possible to secure your preferred dates, especially for maternity and newborn sessions, as these milestones come quickly! I’m happy to help you plan the perfect timeline for your family’s story.
Can I include multiple family members in my session?
Absolutely! Most sessions work best with immediate family members, but if you plan to include 8 or more people, it’s considered an extended family session. These sessions require additional planning and have separate pricing to ensure everyone is captured beautifully.
What if I need help preparing for my session?
Every session includes planning where we discuss wardrobe, location, and styling. My goal is to remove stress so you can feel confident, comfortable, and ready to enjoy the experience.
How long does a session typically last?
Most sessions last up to two hours, depending on your collection and location. The Intimate Collection is a one hour studio session. Sessions are paced to keep little ones comfortable while ensuring we capture a full range of beautiful, natural moments.
