Questions You May Have
Where do you shoot?
I primarily shoot in locations that I know well, such as Hammonaassett Beach, Smith Farm Gardens in East Haddam, Tulmeadow in Simsbury and Harkness Park, ensuring a smooth and enjoyable session. However, I'm always open to your suggestions if you'd like a different venue for your session!
When will I receive my proofing gallery?
You can expect a proofing gallery delivery to your email within two weeks. After that, you'll have an additional two weeks to select your favorite images for final editing.
I'm unsure if my kids will cooperate!
We understand that meeting someone new can feel a bit daunting, especially when there's a camera involved. That's why I believe in taking our time and letting the kids lead the way. Let's embrace the fun and playfulness of childhood and incorporate games and silly moments to capture those genuine smiles.
What time of day do you shoot?
For outdoor sessions in the summer months, these sessions typically begin around 6 PM, while in winter you can expect a start time around 2:30 PM. For in-home sessions, the time is usually in the morning or early afternoon, allowing for natural light to enhance your experience.
How do I receive my photos?
Your session will be delivered to your email in a password protected online gallery. You'll be able to view, download, purchase and share your gallery with friends and family.
What's required to book with you?
To secure your session date with me, a non-refundable deposit of $100 is required. Please note that your session date will only be confirmed once this payment is made.
Do you have a studio?
Not yet, but maybe soonish? Long term goal is yes i'd love a studio but there are a number of studios within the area that are available for renting. If this is something that you'd prefer we can talk!
When is final payment due?
The remaining balance for your session is due the day before your session. An email reminder will be sent to you as well.
Can we bring our dog?
Short answer absolutely yes! But let's make sure that your location allows pups to join in the fun.
Are there any extra costs?
Do you offer mini sessions?
I will be offering mini sessions periodically throughout the year on specific dates and times. Keep on eye out for date announcements on Facebook, Instagram and my website.
Our session price encompasses all the details mentioned in your package. If you wish to include more images beyond what you purchased you can easily add additional images for just $25 each. Each session accommodates up to 5 people, and if you have extra family members wanting to join, it's an additional $25 per person.
Can other family members purchase images from our session?
Absolutely! You can give them access to your gallery by sending them your gallery link and the password. They can select their favorites and make purchasing options right through the gallery.
What if the weather is looking bad?
Don't worry! I always check the weather in advance, and if rain is on the horizon, I will reach out to discuss alternative options. I prefer to make the final decision in the morning to see if rescheduling is necessary. Please note that I typically do not shoot indoors unless we have arranged for an in-home session.
I have no idea what to wear!
Neutral colors are a timeless choice. Instead of bold colors, focus on selecting one outfit and then coordinate the remaining outfits using variations in patterns and styles that complement that color theme.
