Frequently Asked Questions

How far in advance should I schedule my photo session?
A.  As soon as you know you are interested in one!  Seriously, the sooner the better as my schedule tends to book up quickly especially May-November. 

What happens after I fill out the Contact form on your website?
A.  I typically respond to all inquiries that come through within 24 hours and send a complete pricing guide over to you in addition to what you see on my investment tab.  I will include available dates that I have open for the timeframe you inquired about and if you decide to move forward and book with me I will then send an invoice and contract over to be signed and paid within 48 hours.  The retainer payment is a non-refundable $100 that goes toward your session balance and will hold your date on my calendar.

How do I schedule a newborn session with you if I do not know when my child will arrive?
A.  Once you inquire and decide to book me in as your Photographer, I will ask for your due date and use that as a date holder on my calendar.  I ask clients to notify me as soon as they arrive home from the hospital so that I know baby is born and then we pick a mutually agreed upon date

Do I need to bring anything with me to our session?
A. No! Unless there is something sentimental or an heirloom you would like incorporated.  For Newborn sessions more specifically, I have a large selection of wraps, bonnets and tie backs as well as props to choose from based on your vision.

Do you photograph events such as birthdays, communions and showers?
A.  I do not photograph events , but I do love being invited to them :)

What if there is poor weather and we need to reschedule?  What if my child or someone in my family is sick?
A.  I monitor the forecast very closely for 10 days prior to your outdoor session.  If I feel at all that the weather will be rain, snow, heavy winds or too hot/too cold, I will contact you with ample time to discuss a reschedule.  As my calendar books up quickly, we may need to get creative in finding another date/time in order to accommodate a reschedule, but we will absolutely make it happen.  There is no rescheduling fee for weather/illness, however if you need to cancel your session completely your non-refundable retainer is forfeited.

What is the turnaround time for my images after my session?
A. My current turnaround time is 3 weeks from your session date to be delivered a final gallery based on your chosen images.  I send a soft proof gallery to you within 1 week for you to make your selections and then I will edit those selections to be delivered by week 3.  Turnaround time during the Fall season may extend to 4 weeks,.
