FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Q: How would you describe your style?

A: I’m a lifestyle portraiture photographer who shoots both film and digital. I have a very organic approach. As much as I love a beautiful smile, I live for the natural, quiet and raw perspective of photography.

Q: How did you get into photography?

A: I learned in high school with film and darkrooms, then attended the University of North Texas and studied photography art and photojournalism.

Q: Where will the photo session take place?

A: I love going into my clients’ home and working in an environment that feels comfortable and intimate to them. I also photograph at my home in my studio office. Being in a location my clients are comfortable in allows them to be more authentic and candid in front of the camera.

Q: WhAT SHOULD WE WEAR?

A: Different people have different styles. Although I love a timeless look, I also love bringing in as much of your family’s style and personality as you would like. We can work together on this. I have also created a few Pinterest boards for reference. 

Q: When is the best time to schedule a photo session?

A: Most babies and children are happiest in the morning. If your photo session is outdoors then I like to work with the early morning light or late afternoon light. Always keep in mind your kids’ schedule when booking. 

 If the photo session is indoors and at your home, pick a time that works best for you and your family. 

Q: What should we have ready for a newborn photo session?

A: Have a neutral swaddle blanket with a hat or bonnet ready. A solid onesie and a pair of bloomers to cover the diaper is nice to have too. 

Q: Do you offer mini sessions?

A: I offer mini sessions once a year. These are very different than my regular lifestyle photo sessions. I announce my mini or special sessions on Instagram and my blog. 

Q: What happens if the weather is bad?

A: If we have planned for an outdoor-only session we will reschedule 24 hours in advance and choose another date that works for us both. 

Q: Why do you require a deposit? 

A: Deposits are nonrefundable and are required to secure your session date. Time is valuable to me, but I also understand that things DO happen. If it is determined in advance that we need to reschedule the deposit will go towards your next photo session.  

Q: What if my baby or children are fussy?

A: I am a mother to 3 and I have seen it all! We can take as many breaks as we need. 

Q: When is the best time to do newborn photography?

A: That depends on you! I always say when you are feeling ready. My work is very organic, nothing is too posed or forced. I tell the parents to contact me once they are home and feeling good. Some babies and mothers need a little more time to adapt. I know I did! Some are ready in the first few day of life; for others, the first few months are best for them.
