You can expect to receive your full gallery in 3 to 4 weeks. At the end of our session (or when I send you previews) I will give you a more precise estimate based on my work load at the time of the session. I always edit in order. If you wish to know how many sessions are ahead of yours while you wait don’t hesitate to message me!
For your session to be booked, a $150 down payment is required, no matter the type of session (except kids studio portrait session which are due in full upon booking). The rest is due on the day of the session. If you need a bit more time to make the final payment that’s ok, but you wont receive your gallery until the full payment is made, even if the gallery is ready. We can also set up a payment plan leading to your session if that works best for you.
All of my sessions include the access to the FULL gallery without any extra cost or hidden fees. It would be very frustrating for me to limit you in the numbers of images you get, and I personally don’t want to keep charging you for you to get the full experience of our session together. And who wants more email back and forth or dealing with more money transfer? I know I don’t!
Life happens, I get it! Maybe you had a horrible night with baby, maybe someone’s sick. My goal is not to make your life harder and for you to not enjoy our session together. If you need to reschedule, just let me know as soon as possible and we will make that happen!
In case of rain, we can choose to embrace that, but if you’re not up for it or the rain is way too heavy, we can totally reschedule. Bottom line: don’t stress.
If that’s ok with you, YES absolutely! I adore my work and love sharing it with others. This also helps me be discovered by other wonderful families!
But if you are not comfortable with certain images being shared (like more intimate photos or kids faces) please let me know. Instagram is not my priority, you are! My work is about being of service to you and your family so just let me know what your personal boundaries are and I will be sure to respect them!
I know many photographers rush clients to schedule sessions within the first two weeks of life, but I’m not one of them. I understand how sacred and challenging those first days and weeks of postpartum can be, and I honor that. Sessions can be scheduled up to six weeks after birth. After about three weeks, newborns tend to be more alert and awake, which may lead to a different result than the classic sleepy newborn photos—but still beautiful in their own way. I’m here to talk with you about what feels right and comfortable for you and your family.
The answer depends on how many sessions you are interested in doing. You might want to have an announcement pregnancy shoot with you partner, a gender reveal shoot and so on... Pregnancy is a journey and getting different stages of that journey captured is a beautiful idea. If you want to focus on that baby bump and when it s the most visible, I'd recommend doing a session between 30-38 weeks.
Yes. Many families choose to book a maternity + newborn collection or a maternity + newborn + milestone collection to document the full story of this season. (which both comes at a discounted rate when booked together!). This also helps ensure availability once your baby arrives.
I understand how stressful it can feel not knowing whether a session will go “smoothly.” I know that’s easier said than done, but please do not worry about this! I am a mother myself and nothing will phase me! Sessions are designed to be relaxed and playful rather than rigidly posed. There’s no expectation for perfection or for your kids to behave "well" (whatever that means).
