1. Don’t match, coordinate. Pick a color combination for your family to work within. We don’t want everyone to match perfectly or wear nothing but a single color, but we also don’t want everyone wearing different colors and patterns.
2. Don’t be too seasonal. While the idea of outfits for the season may be appealing, our aim is to produce photos that you can display in your home year round! Unless you live on the north pole, Christmas only really works once a year.
3. Avoid patterns, go for earthtones, textures, and solid colors. These are the most classic & timeless and will guarantee your outfits are still in style years from now – Rather than a trend! Its also best to aim for layers in your clothing to provide visual interest and movement (especially for the girls! Dresses or a flowy shawl etc.)
4. Fitted = best. While flowy articles of clothing for the girls is fantastic, in general with pants + shirts for the boys, aim for fitted clothing for men. Avoid baggy jeans or loose fitting shirts etc.
5. We want your session to be enjoyable and fun for everyone involved. If your kid’s clothing is uncomfortable for them to wear, it won’t be nearly as fun. If you’re planning outfits outside of what they are used to, I’d suggest “breaking them in” a few days in advance to get them used to the feeling of wearing those clothes.
I am a lifestyle photographer, and my style is geared towards capturing real moments! This means getting interacting rather than posing, and having a fun time together – because that’s where the magic happens!
That’s okay! Many children are shy or have a hard time with posing for photos – Which is why we forget the posing and just get you all hanging out and loving on each other! You just enjoy the moment and I’ll worry about the photos.
After booking, session fees ($200) are non refundable, as I am holding the date for you and turning away other clients.
All session locations are chosen by collaboration with you, to bring your unique vision to life. Indoors or outdoors – we’ll make it happen!
Booking well in advance is recommended! My current wait times for session openings are around 2-4 weeks, but cancellations do happen once in a while!
Depending on your session type & the number of locations the time can be anywhere from 45-90 minutes.
Your session fee ($200) is due before the date can be reserved. The remainder of your balance is to be paid after you see your gallery & choose your collection.
I accept payment via credit card, cash or check. Contact me for payment details + to book your session!
No need to worry! If your shoot date gets rained out, we can either select an alternate location or reschedule on a date that fits you. Or we always can splash around in the rain!
