FAQs

    • Baby Annoucements - As soon as you are comfortable.

    • Gender Reveal - Either after the bloodwork or the 20-week anatomy scan.

    • Maternity - 29-34 Weeks. If you are high risk or want smaller bump photos, lean closer to the 29 week timeframe. If you are not high risk and love the bigger the better theory, lean toward the 34 week timeframe.

    • After 34 weeks maternity sessions can still be done, you just might not be the most comfortable. If you are ever in a position that is uncomfortable or feels unsafe, please let me know. No photo is worth your safety.

    • I do not reschedule a session due to rain too early or because it is overcast. Forecasts can often be wrong. I like to wait until closer to session time to reschedule for rain if needed. This is circumstantial but yes, if it’s pouring during your session time, we will reschedule. If it’s drizzling you have the option to keep your session and go with the flow and get dreamy rainy day images.

    • If it’s overcast, you have the option to reschedule for another day to have a shot at having that golden hour light, but using your one reschedule does come with the understanding that the rescheduled date may also be overcast. In this case we would not reschedule again. Please review the rescheduling policy.

    • It can be! If you’d prefer a solo session, that’s absolutely fine with me. Each session also includes your immediate family if you’d like them to join. Even if your family participates, we’ll still make sure to get plenty of solo images of you as well!

  • After your session give me 2 weeks to return your preview gallery. Once your final photos are selected then give me 2 weeks to return your final gallery to you. A full turnaround is about 30 business days, this heavily depends on the season (busy or not) and how quickly or slowly each client chooses their final photos.

  • Yes of course! Feel free to utilize the Klarna/Afterpay payment plan method on my booking website.

    • Yes, you will receive $75 off your newborn session if you book both full experience sessions with me.

    • Additionally, the Bump to Baby Bundle is your best bang for your buck with a discount of $250.

  • All sessions can be shot inside of my studio with my boho lifestyle setup or outdoor at your preferred location. For any inquires outside of those, please contact me to discuss prior to booking.

    • If there is a rental fee for a different studio or location, the client is responsible for that rental fee.

    I will send you a locations guide that is made up of spots I frequent for sessions but you are welcome to suggest any other locations you have in mind, even your own home.

    • Travel fees apply for locations 30+ miles away from me, if you need a quote for travel, just ask!
