GENERAL INFORMATION

1. When should I book my session?
To ensure availability, I recommend booking your session at least 4–6 weeks in advance. Newborn sessions are ideally scheduled during your pregnancy so we can plan to shoot within the first 5–14 days after birth.

2. What should we wear for our session?
I suggest choosing soft, neutral colors and coordinating (not matching) outfits for a timeless look. Upon booking, I’ll send you a style guide and offer personalized outfit recommendations to help your family look and feel amazing!

3. Where are your sessions held?
Sessions can be held outdoors at a location of your choice or in-home, depending on your preference and the type of session. I’ll work with you to choose the perfect spot with the best lighting and atmosphere.

4. What if it rains or the weather is bad on our session day?
No worries! I always keep an eye on the forecast. If the weather isn’t ideal, we’ll reschedule at no extra cost to the next available date that works for both of us.

5. What’s your cancellation/rescheduling policy?
Life happens! I just ask for at least 48 hours’ notice if you need to reschedule. Your session fee can be applied to a new date within the same calendar year.

6. How many photos will I receive?
Each session includes a set number of edited high-resolution images, typically between 20–40, depending on the session type. Additional images may be available for purchase.

7. Do you retouch the photos?
Yes! All final images are professionally edited for light, color, and minor touch-ups. I keep skin tones natural and flattering without over-editing.

8. Do you require a deposit to book?
Yes, a non-refundable retainer (usually 50% of the session fee) is required to secure your date. The remaining balance is due on or before the session day.


MATERNITY PHOTOGRAPHY

9. When should I schedule my maternity session?
Maternity sessions are typically best between 28–34 weeks of pregnancy. That’s when your bump is beautifully visible, but you’re still comfortable enough for movement and posing.

10. Can my family be included in the maternity photos?
Absolutely! I love when partners and children join in—it’s a beautiful way to celebrate the whole family’s excitement.


NEWBORN PHOTOGRAPHY

11. Do you offer studio newborn sessions?
At this time, I focus on lifestyle newborn sessions, which take place in the comfort of your own home. These sessions are cozy, relaxed, and perfect for capturing those real, emotional moments.

12. When should I book my newborn session?
I recommend booking during your second trimester. We’ll schedule the session for within the first 2 weeks after baby arrives, but I’m flexible if baby needs more time.

13. Do you bring props or outfits for newborns?
I bring a few simple wraps, blankets, and accessories, but I keep things natural and baby-led. You’re welcome to include meaningful items like a favorite swaddle or heirloom blanket.


FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHY

14. What’s the best time of day for a family session?
I usually recommend “golden hour”—about an hour before sunset—for the best soft, flattering light. Morning sessions are also an option for younger children who do better earlier in the day.

15. What if my kids don’t sit still?
No problem at all—I don’t expect them to! I take a relaxed, playful approach and follow your children’s lead. The best photos come from natural interactions, not forced poses.


PRICING & DELIVERY

16. What’s included in your session fee?
Each session includes:
✔ Pre-session planning and location help
✔ Shooting time (typically 45–60 minutes)
✔ A private online gallery of hand-edited images
✔ A set number of high-resolution digital downloads (upgrade options available)

17. When will I receive my photos?
You’ll receive your final gallery within 2–3 weeks of your session. I’ll send you a link to view, download, and share your images.
