frequently asked questions

Kids don’t need to “behave” for your session to be successful. I expect movement, energy, and personality. Some of the most meaningful images come from the in-between moments. Your job is simply to be present with them.

I will place you in good light and gently guide you when needed, but I don’t overly pose or force stiff smiles. I use natural prompts and movement to help you connect with each other.

Neutral, earthy tones, whites, pinks, blues photograph beautifully and keep the focus on connection rather than outfits. Simple is always best. Soft textures and layers add depth. Avoid neon, logos and loud patterns. I’m always happy to help you plan once you schedule your session. 

Sessions can take place outdoors or in the comfort of your home. If you choose to do an outdoor session we’ll choose a location that feels natural and meaningful to your family. Often times that means photographing on your property, the street, or a nearby park.
