Frequently asked...
How do I book a session?
Booking your session is simple! Start by filling out my contact form with a few details about your session and the dates you’re considering. From there, I’ll be in touch to make sure we’re a good fit and find a date that works for everyone.
Once we’ve settled on a date and location, I’ll send over your booking link which includes your session questionnaire, contract, and invoice. Your session is officially booked once the contract is signed and the 50% retainer is paid.
That’s it! I’ll take care of the rest and send you everything you need to help prepare for your session.
How do you photograph families?
By telling your family's story. I may need some time to build rapport with the younger kiddos, that's to be expected. Then it's all about capturing the love, togetherness and connection of your family! We will explore, run, play and snuggle. Allow yourself to be uninhibited and come with an open mind...and heart.
Where are you based and do you travel?
I live in Harrison City, Pennsylvania. I currently only travel for weddings. By keeping my sessions local, I can offer you a streamlined experience with minimal travel costs.
When will we get our photos?
Digital photos will be provided via an online gallery available for download no later than 10 weeks after the shoot date for weddings and 6 weeks after the shoot date for all other session types...sometimes less depending on the season I photograph your story. You can download all the photos from the gallery but also share them, choose your favorites, and order prints!
What is the photo selection and delivery process?
After our photo session, I handpick the final images from the session and work with each selection to bring it to its full potential. I then provide you the number of images agreed upon (based on the session chosen) via an online gallery.
Do you have a studio?
I do! I have a small studio in my home with 7-foot seamless paper backdrops that I offer in a variety of colors. I take advantage of the natural light coming in the window for these sessions, which makes 10am the best start time.
What should we wear?
Choosing what to wear for your session can feel overwhelming, but it doesn’t have to be! I always recommend choosing outfits that feel comfortable, natural, and true to who you are.
Soft, earthy tones, neutral colors, and subtle textures photograph beautifully and help create a timeless, cohesive look. Rather than everyone matching, think about coordinating colors, fabrics, and tones that complement one another. I also recommend avoiding large logos, busy patterns, and neon colors so the focus stays on you and the moments we’re capturing.
Need a little extra help? I offer a client closet with a curated selection of dresses, maternity pieces, children’s outfits, and textured layers to help make planning your session even easier. I’m always happy to help with outfit choices or offer a second opinion!
