FAQ

When will session details go out?

Session details typically go out via email on Monday/Tuesdays. This is so I can give accurate information based on the weather that weekend.

What time is my session?

Outdoor sessions are typically held 1-2 hours before sunset depending on location and weather.

Indoor Sessions are held at 10:30 AM.

When's the best time to have a session with a newborn?

We'll want to take your baby's first portraits within the first 5-25 days of life. Sessions are booked Monday through Friday at 10:30am.

How should we dress for our family session?

My BIGGEST tip is to find Mom's dress/outfit first, then base everyone else's off of it. Once you have your outfit picked out, if you need help with others, let me know asap so I can send some shops for the everyone else. =)
