What kind of photography do you do?   
I specialize in portrait photography. My primary focus is on newborns and families - I love capturing those tiny, perfect details and first snuggles with your new baby! I also photograph children of all ages and high school seniors. The most rewarding part of my job is getting to see your little ones grow up and document it for you. If you take a look at my work, you'll notice that my style is fresh and fun and I like to keep things clean and simple without too many props or distractions. I like to combine lifestyle and portrait work at each session to offer my clients a nice variety of images.

Where will you take my pictures?
Newborn photography sessions will be held in the comfort of your own home. After 12 years of posing newborns in my studio, I realized I prefer natural, relaxed, and basically unposed baby portraits instead of the more traditional posed style. You don’t need a magazine-worthy home - all we need is some good natural light and I'll take care of the rest! In good weather, family and senior sessions are held outdoors. 

When will my session take place?
I am usually booking about 2-3 months out. Lifestyle sessions are scheduled for 10:00 am on weekday mornings. Outdoor sessions are best scheduled in the early morning or 1-2 hours before sunset. Please try to schedule your newborn session within three weeks of birth. Contact me as early as possible into your pregnancy to get your due date on my calendar as I only take on a few newborns per month.

How long will the session last?
Children and family sessions usually last around an hour. I want to allow lots of time for outfit changes, snacks, breaks, and time for the kids to feel comfortable around my camera and me. Newborn sessions can take a little longer, with many breaks for feeding and cuddling.

How do I pay?
You can pay for your session by credit card by clicking on the Payment tab at the top of the website or by check. You can pay directly from your credit card or PayPal account.

Do you ever have "mini" sessions?
Yes, I do have occasional mini sessions, usually for holidays or giveaways. Please follow me on Facebook or Instagram because that is where I post any sign up information.

What do you shoot with?
I use a Canon 5D Mark IV and 35mm, 50mm, or 85mm lenses.

What happens if the weather is bad?
If it's raining or if someone is sick, we will simply reschedule. But it doesn't have to be perfect weather for your session, cloudy days are perfectly fine.

What should I wear?  
That is really up to you, but the more colorful with textures, the better! Everyone has the white shirt family photos, but I want to capture your everyday personality. But please try to avoid shirts with logos or words. You should try to coordinate outfits, but not be too matchy-matchy. I love newborns in a simple white onesie or wrapped up in a favorite blanket. The simpler the better... big sisters in dresses, big brothers with jeans and a simple top, parents in plain shirts with no logos, etc. If you feel comfortable and your best for the session, that will show in the photos too - so dress like yourself!

What happens after my photoshoot?    
From my camera, I import the best pictures to my computer, which is typically around 50+ images. I then hand edit those images to fix minor blemishes or scratches, lighting, cropping, and any enhancements and creative edits like black and white, etc. I will post a sneak peek on my Facebook or Instagram page which you can feel free to tag for yourself or family members. Two to three weeks after the session, I will upload your images to your password protected client gallery on this site where you can download your images.
