frequently asked questions
where will we have our session?
I am based in Raleigh, NC but travel all around the area. I have some go-to spots, but I am always open to suggestions as well!
can I bring my pets too?
You bet! I am a dog momma myself so I know how important it is to include your furry family members too. Many of my shooting locations are pet-friendly.
how long after my session will I get my pictures?
Waiting is no fun for anyone - I always aim to return edited albums ASAP after our session. Typical turn around time is under one - two weeks so you can enjoy and share your pictures right away.
when do I pay for my session?
I require a 50% deposit fee upon booking and then the remainder is due the day of our session. Your session price includes the number of professionally edited photos included in your package with the option to purchase additional prints if desired.
where are you located?
I am available in Johnston County and Wake County. Areas served include: Raleigh, Smithfield, Clayton, Garner, Cary, Apex, Fuquay-Varina, Benson, Wendell, Knightdale, and beyond!
family photos are stressful! what if my kids don’t cooperate?
You're not alone - I hear this ALL THE TIME! I do not strive for 'posed' portraits but rather to capture your family just as they are. If your child wants to run and play, you will have some fun movement in your pictures! If your child is a bit more reserved, I'll be sure to capture those sweet snuggles, too. This will tell the story of your children as they are in this stage of their lives- and my aim is to help preserve these memories for you to look back on for years to come. Feel free to bring any favorite toys, snacks, or anything else might make your kiddo feel more comfortable. I'll be sure to make it a fun experience for all - parents included!
when is a good time to do a maternity/newborn session?
The short answer is: whenever you feel ready!
Most mommas-to-be chose to have their maternity sessions between 28-34 weeks. Newborn sessions can be planned anytime after your return home, and are typically booked within the first 4-6 weeks.
