FAQ

How far in advance should I book?
Booking early is always the best way to secure your ideal time slot—especially for fall sessions, which are my busiest time of year! However, I don’t book family sessions more than 3 months in advance. Fall session dates typically open in late July and go quickly!

What should we wear?
Neutral tones and soft colors photograph beautifully. Avoid overly bright colors or busy patterns.

Why don’t I see every photo taken?
I carefully select the best images to provide you with a curated, high-quality gallery.

Can I purchase prints later?
Yes! Your gallery will remain available for purchasing prints and albums.

How do I purchase my images?
After your session, you will receive a private online gallery where you can review your images. I can help you with your order either in person, on the phone, or we can do it online. The Digital collection is sold as a complete set and printed products are all sold separately except with my mini sessions.
