Where + when should the session take place?
I am a natural light photographer and shoot on location. Prior to your session we will discuss what kind of location best suits your family. We will find the perfect time to utilize the best light at your desired location while capturing the kids in their best mood.
How long will my shoot take?
My portrait + lifestyle sessions are one-hour (give or take). Newborn sessions tend to take a little longer because they need feeding breaks and extra love in between shots.
What should I wear?
Think Simple and Classic. Nothing too "matchy- matchy" but patterns are fun to incorporate as well, as long as all colors and patterns compliment each other. I typically suggest choosing a few colors and mixing patterns but staying within the color scheme. I tend to think that warmer tones look best on most, but most importantly, wear something that makes you feel good!
What should my child wear? How should I prepare?
Newborn:
-Solid neutral colored onesies for your newborn, its nice to have a couple on hand in case there are any “spills”
-I suggest keeping the swaddle or blanket that you have them wrapped in also neutral, or a subtle pattern, nothing too distracting
-Helpful to have formula or pumped milk handy when baby becomes fussy. Pacifier’s aka “mute buttons” are sometimes helpful to have handy if you are already using them in your routine.
-Please have your little one fed and happy upon my arrival; we will take a couple feeding breaks mid session to keep them satisfied
Children:
-Layering clothes are always fun, bare feet are best and accessories are amazing!
-It's fun to include their favorite toy or an accessory they enjoy, it helps them to stay in their "element" when the cameras clicking away.
