Frequently Asked Questions:
How do you handle covid-19?
Due to the nature of my job and my tiny, immune-fragile clients, I rely on healthy client families as much as they rely on me.
In my Health + Safety questionnaire sent at booking, clients agree to notify me within 24 hours of any signs or symptoms of illnesses in their home, up to 10 days prior to their session date.
This includes symptoms of Common Colds, Flu, Strep, Hand-Foot-Mouth, RSV, Croup, Shingles etc. and NOT JUST Covid-19.
All items (props, posers, drops, floors, etc) are sanitized prior to each and every session.
What's your pricing and how does it work?
At the top of the page, select the "Investment" Tab for investment details.
A session fee must be made at the time of booking any session to secure your spot and is nonrefundable. This fee is for the photographers time and talent and is applied towards your session package price, with the remaining due two days before your session.
I offer payment plans for booked sessions scheduled 3 weeks out or more.

Can You Come to My Home?
For a small fee, I can come right to the comfort of your home to photograph Newborn sessions only. I bring everything I will need and set up in a room with the best natural lighting.
All other sessions are done Outdoors or in my Natural Light Studio.
I missed the newborn window and my baby is now 2 months old. Will you take him?
Newborn photography is done during a very specific time frame, Birth to 6 weeks. However, I photograph babies of any age. If your baby is no longer a Newborn, you can schedule a Milestone Session!
Do you provide Nude Maternity Photography?
I do- Tasteful nude or semi nude maternity portraits are an option for any maternity session.
Nude offerings may be done at select locations only for the safety of the client and photographer. Please email me to discuss details prior to booking.
How long will my session be?
I do not have set times for my sessions, as they all can differ depending on situations, wardrobe changes, age, location etc.
However, most sessions go as follows:
Maternity – Approximately one hour or less
Newborn – Approximately two hours, as much as four.
Family – Approximately one hour
Children- Anywhere from 30-60 minutes depending on session and age
Please understand that length of time for a session does not relate to the quality or quantity of the images you will receive.
Is hair/makeup included?
I believe all Mamma's deserve to feel pampered and beautiful for their portraits, free of stress.
I now offer this service for all sessions, you will be given the option to select makeup as an add on during the booking process.
Do you provide clothing for maternity sessions?
I do! All packages receive access to my client closet.
I am also happy to provide a list of recommendations for gown rental options and for purchase.
I even offer discounts for gowns purchased off my Wishlist and donated to me after your session.
Please let me know if this is something that may interest you DURING booking.
What is included in a Newborn Session? Do I need to bring anything?
I provide everything for Newborn sessions. This includes all props, blankets, wraps, lovies, headbands and outfits, etc.
Special requests must be made prior to the session, preferably at booking.
What is included in a Milestone Session?
Whether you are booking a 1st Birthday, or celebrating another milestone, I offer several props to help showcase your child.
Special Requests must be made at booking.
My baby has acne, stork bites, jaundice, scratches, bruises, etc. Do you retouch?
Yes, all editing preferences may be discussed during your session or during booking.
Typically, anything not permanent will be edited to some extent in your images.
What if I do not want retouching?
Lighting, color, clarity and grain will be adjusted as needed, in all delivered images to remain consistent with my brand.
Preferences regarding skin retouching and subject editing can be discussed at booking.
How many pictures do I get from my session?
This depends on the package you purchased.
Additional images may also be purchased individually during your Proof Gallery selection.
What's a digital image? What do the digital packages come with?
A digital image is a High-Resolution JPEG file sent to you through an online gallery link or downloadable file.
This item is not a tangible print, but may be used to order prints from any photo lab you wish.
Please refer to the pricing page as each package differs.
All digitals come with a Print Release and are sent in an Online gallery.
Do you give Raw images?
No, I do not give Raw images.
How long does it take to see my photos?
The timeframe varies based on Seasons.
These timeframes are typical but not guaranteed.
Proofing galleries will be sent 5-7 days after your session for image selection.
Final images are completed within 7-10 days.
Typical turnaround is 2-3 weeks.
Do I have to order prints through you?
Though it is highly recommended that you order prints through a high quality printing company, it is not required that you place an order through me.
Ordering prints through me simply ensures that you will receive the highest quality products for your personal images. I cannot control the quality, color, or any other print issues when ordered from outside sources.
