FAQ

What kinda Photographer are you?

Im a lifestyle photographer. This means I put families/ couples into poses and let them slowly fall out of the pose while capturing the interactions happening before our eyes. Whether its little details like holding hands or big detail like huge hugs. Im here to capture it all.

How many pictures will we receive?

You will receive 30+ high resolution images in an online gallery. They come watermark free and ready for you to save and share as you please.

Who can be in the photos?

Anyone in your immediate family can be in the photos. If you would like grandparents or anyone else in your session, please contact me and let me know before hand. IF YOU ARE A COUPLE DOING MATERNITY OR ANNOUNCMENT PHOTOS PLEASE LET YOUR PARTNER KNOW THEY SHOULD PARTICIPATE IN THE PHOTOS.

When and where should we take newborn photos?

Newborn Sessions are usually done within the first two weeks in YOUR home. This is when the baby is the most cooperative and we can capture all the newborn skin, yawns and little smiles before they starts to grown and change.

What if my baby doesn't come on their due date?

Newborn session are flexible. Sessions can be during the week; it does not have to be on a weekend. It pretty much depends on when you're mentally and physically ready. Childbirth can take a toll on us and there is no expectation to be okay after the baby comes by a certain time. I am on your schedule and will stand by when you're ready. For now just pick a date within two weeks of baby due date and we will see when the little one decides to arrive.

Do you guide and pose us? What if we are akward?

YES! I 100 percent pose/position my clients. You will get guidance from me the whole time. I will give you moments to be authentic as I prompt you to get some emotions but you will be positioned very specially and I will photograph you as you fall out of these positions. No awkwardness allowed here! (unless it's what your looking for)

How should we dress for our family session?

Feel free to get dressed up in neutral, natural colors. It is best to avoid bright pinks and light blues. I think it beautiful to wear plain clothes with no huge logos and no designs. Wearing less distractions will allow the photo to focus on you, your love, and your faces.

What’s the best time to have a session with a newborn?

Newborn Sessions are usually done within the first two weeks in YOUR home. This is when your baby is brand new and I can capture all the little details before they starts to grown and change. Keep in mind that I DO NOT pose and wrap them like traditionally done. I do position baby in natural poses and allow baby to come out of them as they please. I will never force a baby to be wrapped up tightly for a photo.

Do you wrap and pose baby?

I do not pose and wrap them like traditionally done. I do position baby in natural poses and allow baby to come out of them as they please. I also swaddle baby in blankets that are provided by their parents if parents are okay with it. I will never force a baby to be wrapped up tightly for a photo.

What time are Newborn sessions at?

Newborn session are done at 10 am. That is when the lighting is the best and baby is the calmest.
