FAQ
I found some pictures that I like on Pinterest, can I send them to you for inspiration?
Please keep in mind that comparing your images to those that you find on the internet is like comparing apples to oranges; you will almost always be disappointed in the finished product because your session is based off of you- not an exact replica of the image you pinned online. They will be based off of your family, your home, your life, and my art. However, I am open to playing around with new props and poses if you find something that inspires you. Trust me to find the NATURAL beauty in those NATURAL moments during your session and you will not be disappointed! Let us create something that everybody else wants to pin!
Where are you based and do you travel?
I am located in Southwest Missouri. There are many beautiful locations here where we can capture your magic, but if your heart is set on a location outside of this area, I would still love to capture it for you! I am always up for new adventures! Depending on the length of travel, there may be a travel fee associated.
When can we expect to get our photos?
You will receive an online gallery link with all of your digital photos within approximately 2 weeks (sometimes more or less depending on the season). I will try to get you at least one "sneak peek" within 24 hours of your session! You will receive a print release after booking. If you need recommendations on where to order your prints, let me know and I will be glad to name a few of my favorites!
What should we wear?
Styling yourself and your family can be a bit stressful but it impacts your final images in such a HUGE way! I recommend sticking to neutral tones, especially when doing your session outdoors. Bright colors and loud patterns can often distract from and/or clash with the natural beauty in your environment. I also recommend not putting your entire family (or whoever is included in your photography session) in the exact same clothes; it tends to make everybody blend together and those unique details that we love to capture are often lost. If you need help choosing outfits, please utilize my Style Guide that will be sent to your email after booking.
How much do you charge to book a session?
A 50% retainer is required when booking. This retainer goes toward the total balance and locks in your scheduled session. The remaining balance is due on the day of your session. In the event of a cancellation 24 hours or more before your scheduled session, you may choose to reschedule without losing your retainer. Two cancellations may result in termination of client status.
