FAQ
How should we dress for our family session?
Coordinating is always better than matching! Choose 2–4 complementary colors and mix in different shades, textures, and subtle patterns to add some dimension. Neutral and earthy tones photograph beautifully, but most importantly, wear something that feels like you and that you’re comfortable in. I recommend avoiding large logos, neon colors, and overly busy patterns. And don’t worry—I’m always happy to help with outfit ideas before your session! ♡
We don’t feel very confident in front of the camera, is that ok?
Absolutely! Most people don’t feel completely comfortable in front of the camera—and that’s totally okay. You don’t need to know how to pose or what to do. I’ll guide you throughout your session with simple prompts and direction while keeping things relaxed and natural. My goal is to help you forget about the camera and focus on each other, so we can capture genuine moments that feel like you. ♡
How far in advance should I book my session?
I recommend reaching out as soon as you know you’d like a session, especially if you have a specific date or season in mind. Fall and weekend dates can fill quickly! For maternity sessions, I recommend booking ahead so we can plan your session for when you’re around 28–34 weeks.
What happens if the weather is bad?
Wisconsin weather definitely likes to keep us guessing! If the weather isn’t cooperating for an outdoor session, we’ll stay in touch and decide whether it makes sense to adjust the time, choose another location, or reschedule. I want you to love your photos, so we won’t force a session in weather that isn’t going to give us the experience we want.
What if my kids don’t cooperate?
Please don’t stress! Kids are kids, and I never expect them to sit perfectly still and smile at the camera the entire time. We’ll play, move around, take breaks when needed, and let them be themselves. Sometimes the unplanned moments end up being my favorites. ♡
When will we receive our photos?
Your professionally edited gallery will be delivered through an online gallery within one week after your session. You’ll be able to view, download, and save your images right from your gallery.
Where will our session take place?
We’ll choose a location together based on the look and feel you’re wanting for your photos. I’m happy to recommend some of my favorite locations around the area, or if you have somewhere meaningful to you, let me know!
How long will our session last?
Session length depends on the package you choose, but I keep things relaxed and never want you to feel rushed. Your booking information will include the expected session length so you’ll know exactly what to plan for.
Can we bring our pets?
Absolutely! Pets are family too. ♡ Just let me know ahead of time so we can choose a pet-friendly location and plan accordingly.
