FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
~
Where are you located?
Currently based out of the Cornelius, Oregon; if you require further travel, feel free to get in touch, and I can give you a full quote with a free consult.
Where will our session take place? Do you have a studio?
I do have a small home studio setup available for newborn and children's sessions. I also work on location at local parks for outdoor Children and Family sessions. We can discuss what type of feel you are looking for in your photographs during the planning stage, and we can then work together to come up with the perfect location.
What types of payments do you accept?
I accept all forms of payment; Cash, Debit, Credit; I also have business accounts with both PayPal & Venmo. Payment plans are an available option as well, with PayPal, Affirm, Klarna and AfterPay!
What time is best for portraits?
I am equipped to handle any lighting situation, for both outdoor and studio sessions. Feel free to schedule any available time that works best for you!
What should we wear?
It is important for everyone to wear clothes that represent themselves, but it's best to keep outfits simple and avoid things like logos and busy patterns. Color coordinating is always more pleasing to the eye, and using a color wheel is a great start for color ideas, as is Pinterest!
Should we bring anything?
If you or your kiddos have anything special that you would like to incorporate into their session, you're more than welcome to bring it along. Outfit changes are always welcome too.
Are cakes included for Cake Smash Sessions?
Cake is included with Premium sessions, or they can be added on to any session for $25-45. I also have a couple, free to use, faux cake options, should you prefer a less messy birthday session, or if your little has any allergies.
What if our children won't sit still?
Please do not worry if your children are a little rambunctious; I have quite a bit of patience and a few tricks up my sleeves! My kiddos are 19 and 13 now, so I know how it goes. Sometimes you just have to let them be little. If standard, posed portraits wont work, candid photos can come out just as great. I prefer to just let them play anyways!
When will our images be ready?
Sneak previews can be sent out within 24 hours, upon request. Your complete set of images will typically be ready 7-10 business days after your portrait session.
Will we get to see every image that you take?
Everything except the test shots (bad lighting, out of focus, blinks, etc.) and duplicates. Any images that take away from the overall quality of the session will be deleted in camera. Don't worry, you will still have plenty of truly great images!
Will you accept a tip?
