FAQ'S

Before the photo session you will be asked to sign a Portrait Agreement & Release Form. I will use images taken during photo sessions to show future clients the quality of work that they may expect with their images. Without the ability to do so, clients would not be able to judge whether my style is compatible with their needs. Most typically, images are used here on the blog for 'sneak peeks', in an online gallery and sometimes in printed promotional materials. Identities of the children are always kept confidential. Only first names will be used.

FAQ #1: So how does this work?

Part of my job as your portrait photographer is to accommodate your vision of what you want out of your time and your session. Although I do have a portrait studio, I also encourage you to come up with an outdoor location that is special to you and your family and a setting that you feel comfortable in.

FAQ #2: How long do sessions take?

A typical session can take up to an hour. Newborn sessions often can take up to 3 hours, due to their ever-demanding needs. Don't worry if you find that your baby needs to sleep. We'll listen to your baby's cues and I'll have you respond in any way to make them contempt and happy. A photo session can be exhausting and stressful to them, so don't be surprised if they are not acting like their 'usual' selves.

FAQ #3: What should I wear?

Dressing for a photo session means looking the best you can be, but in a casual, relaxed way. For families, pay attention to how your clothes coordinate rather than “match” and avoid loud patterns and colors that will draw attention away from YOU. Jeans and a plain long-sleeved t-shirt in black or a neutral color always look great. Bright colors are more appropriate for children than adults and always stick to styles that are more classic and timeless rather than trendy. As for babies and newborns, sometimes a simple diaper cover or no clothes at all work the best!
