FAQ
WHAT KIND OF PHOTOGRAPHER ARE YOU? My work has been described as natural, real, and sentimental with a fine art quality. I combine traditional, documentary, and lifestyle photography to capture genuine images for you to treasure for a lifetime.
As your photographer, I will provide a generous gallery of images that can be displayed in your home as pieces of art or archived in a custom album to be treasured for generations. These photographs will be an investment in you and/or your family history. Images from your session often tell a story, capturing a treasured moment in time. I do not try to make you look perfect, stiff, or unnatural. I am not after that "one" shot with everyone looking at the camera and smiling. Sure, I will get some with everyone looking and smiling, but I promise it will not feel stiff or forced.
WHERE WILL MY SESSION BE HELD? I am a natural light, on location photographer. Together we will choose the perfect location for your session! Newborn sessions are held at your home.
WHEN DO NEWBORN SESSIONS OCCUR? I like to do newborn sessions within the first month of life, however my style allows for some flexibility in scheduling.
WHAT SHOULD I WEAR? See my WHAT TO WEAR page for ideas on what to wear, but in a nutshell, be comfortable, be yourself!
WHEN WILL I GET MY DIGITAL PHOTOS AFTER THE SHOOT? Photographs grow in value over time and become family treasures. I know the importance of archiving and saving digital images. I offer one simple, all-inclusive collection where you receive all the high resolution digital files delivered via direct download. A minimum of 30 digitals files presented in both color and black & white will be available to you with your session, click here to see what you get with my sessions. You will also have the option to buy prints and boutique products. Click here to learn more about what comes with your session!
DO YOU OFFER HEADSHOT SESSIONS? Yes! I feel headshots are a very personal experience, I ensure that your session feels as natural and stress free as possible, no stiff over posed images here!

WHEN, HOW, AND WHERE CAN I SEE MY PHOTOS ? Within two weeks of your photoshoot, you will receive a link to a private online gallery.
HOW DO YOU CHOOSE WHICH IMAGES GO INTO MY GALLERY FROM OUR SHOOT? I look carefully at each and every image I capture at your session and hand select the best images. I am looking for images that represent me an artist and you and/or your family.
