Additional Information to Know:
- I’m available for a pre-session consultation on wardrobe, location, etc. in order to produce the “look and feel” of your ideal images; we can work together as closely as you’d like to create your perfect session whether its at home, the beach or anywhere else that’s meaningful to you.
- Portrait sessions are be approx. 45-60 minutes and include your immediate family members; additional people may be added for $20/each for larger family groupings.
- Your well-behaved dog is welcome to join. However, the photographer is not responsible for any distractions or difficulty presented by the behavior of the dog(s) and any effect the outcome of the session.
- Sessions are ideally scheduled to begin about one hour prior to sunset, or just as the sun is rising in the morning, to make the most of the most ideal, flattering natural light. This is known as “the golden hour”, but if your or your child’s schedule make the evening hours (which vary by season) prohibitive, we can certainly figure out a time that works best for your family.
- Newborn sessions ideally take place in the first 10-12 days after birth, and take place in your home. These sessions last approx. 2-3 hour to allow for feedings, diaper changes, and sleep/wake cycles.
- I am primarily a natural light photographer when photographing families with young children, as I find that the confines of a studio and fixed lighting equipment works against kids being themselves, enjoying the experience and capturing their unique personalities.
- Your online gallery will be complete and sent to you within 10-14 days of your session, and will remain open for sharing, downloads and ordering for 2 weeks; you can expect to receive approx. 40-50 final images — but I don’t set a limit on images, and will edit and provide you with all of the very best “keepers”.
- A signed session agreement and $50 deposit is due to reserve your session date and time; deposits are transferable but not refundable.
