Why are sessions scheduled at specific times of day?
As a natural light photographer, light and time of day is everything. I schedule outdoor sessions during the “golden hours” — shortly after sunrise or before sunset — because the light is soft, flattering, and dreamy. Midday light can be harsh and create strong shadows, so timing helps ensure your images feel warm, natural, and timeless. Depending on the season, I will coordinate with you on what times will work best. For indoor newborn or lifestyle sessions, I can be flexible on time of day.
When should newborn sessions take place?
Newborn sessions are best scheduled within the first 7–14 days after birth. During this window, babies are typically sleepier and more easily settled, allowing for those peaceful, sleepy portraits. That said, beautiful newborn images can be captured at any stage — we’ll adjust the session timing to both you and your baby.
What is the typical turn-around time for gallery delivery?
Galleries are typically delivered within 2–3 weeks of your session. I carefully hand-edit each image to ensure consistency, warmth, and quality, so your final gallery reflects the care put into your session. If you are needing to send announcements or want a faster turn-around time, edits can be delivered within 10 days—dependent upon my own personal schedule and an additional fee.
Absolutely. I have a curated list of favorite outdoor and in-home locations that photograph beautifully in different seasons. I’m also happy to suggest spots based on the look and feel you’re hoping to achieve — whether that’s open fields, wooded trails, urban charm, or the comfort of your own home.
Do you recommend locations?
Once your session is booked, you’ll receive a styling guide to help coordinate outfits with ease. In general, I recommend neutral tones, soft textures, and pieces that allow you to move comfortably. Avoid bold logos and overly bright patterns. For little ones, feel free to bring a favorite comfort item or small snack — and for everyone else, just bring yourselves as you are.
What should clients wear and bring to a session?
Yes — I offer a limited number of seasonal mini sessions throughout the year. These are shorter sessions (10-15 minutes) offered on select dates with a set location. Clients will receive 5 photos of their choice, with the ability to purchase additional images or the entire gallery for an additional cost. Minis are perfect for quick updated family portraits, announcements, or holiday photos. Availability is announced in advance and tends to fill quickly. Please follow along on instagram or reach out via email for upcoming mini session dates!
Do you offer mini sessions?
The sooner, the better—especially newborn sessions. I only book a certain number of newborn sessions per month (as we know, babies have their own schedule! It’s impossible to predict). Full sessions and portraits are best scheduled at least 2 months or more in advance. While I do offer weekend sessions, they are more limited. Membership VIPs are offered first choice of dates and mini session time slots throughout the year.
