FAQs
What else is included in my session?
Every package includes a private online gallery and access to my client closet. Prior to your session, I will chat with you via email or phone to learn more about your family and your expectations. You will also receive guides on what to wear, what to expect, and how to prepare for your session. And of course, the session time is included as well!
Do you offer extended family sessions?
Yes! These are often super fun because there are so many different family combinations and possibilities. It’s so important to get photos with your whole family whenever you get the chance. Plus, there are more people for the kids to play with! Contact me for extended family pricing.
Do you travel?
At this time I mainly serve Connecticut, though I sometimes take sessions in Massachusetts, New York, Rhode Island and Pennsylvania. There is a travel fee for locations more than 20 miles from my office.
When will our photos be ready?
You gallery will be sent to you within 2-3 weeks of your session, though most of the year I am faster than that. During the busy fall season, it may take slightly longer.
How big will my gallery be?
This varies a bit from session to session but generally, you can expect to choose from a MINIMUM of 50 images.
Can I bundle sessions (i.e. maternity & newborn)?
Absolutely! Bundle and save, as they say. Take $100 off of each session fee if you book two sessions up front!
Do you offer mini-sessions?
I offer mini-sessions a few times a year! They are generally in the spring around Mother’s Day, and then in the fall and winter. The best way to keep informed about mini-session dates is to join my email list!
Can I bring my pet?
Why yes, please do! If you know me at all, you know that the only think I love more than babies, is dogs. Cats are cool too. If you do bring your dog along to the session, please bring a friend or someone to take the dog when we’re not “using” her or have another plan in place. And if we’re shooting in your home, of course we’ll include any pets as much as they’ll tolerate!
Do you offer payment plans?
I'm happy to work with you! Part of the creative fee is a $100 non-refundable retainer that is sent with your contract and reserves your session date. The remainder of the creative fee is due prior to your session. Once you’ve seen your gallery and have decided on which package you’d like, the balance is due prior to receipt of your images.
What is a Client Closet?
I know not everyone wants to buy a dress or outfit and only wear it once for photos, so I have a wonderful selection of pieces that you can borrow! My client closet is filled with beautiful dresses for both mom and girls in a variety of colors, styles, and sizes, as well as gowns, rompers, swaddles/blankets, and other accessories for your babies!
How do I choose a location?
There are so many options! If you’re not having your session at home, I’ll provide you with a list of my favorite spots. You can choose from those, or offer your own suggestions for me to check out. If you’re not sure, the first place to start is checking out my work and seeing what speaks to you - a field, woods, beach? And then we’ll go from there!
