Newborn Sessions
WHEN SHOULD I BOOK MY SESSION?
You can book your session at any time, but I do recommend contacting me as soon as possible. Ideally it’s best to book your session during your second trimester. This will ensure that you have a space on my schedule. If you would like to chat more about a session, you can contact me by clicking here.
WHAT IF MY BABY COMES EARLY OR LATE?
Babies tend to have their own little schedules and we are at their mercy when it comes to their arrival. We will choose a tentative date for your session based on your due date. We can be flexible if your little one decides to come a little bit early or late. Once you are in labor, have Dad contact me so that we can choose a more definite date.
HOW SOON AFTER OUR BABY IS BORN SHOULD THE SESSION HAPPEN?
Newborns are best photographed within the first 2 weeks of life. Your baby will still be nice and sleepy and easier to pose in those sweet cuddly womb-like positions they are used to. If your baby has an extended stay in the hospital, or is born prematurely this can change the window. Please contact me for more details.

Portrait Sessions
WHEN SHOULD I BOOK OUR SESSION?
Portrait sessions (seniors & family) are best scheduled 2-3 months in advance. I take a limited number of sessions each month so that I can focus all of my attention on your family and creating your perfect images. If you are interested in a session, please contact me as far in advance as possible to ensure you get a slot.
WHERE WILL OUR SESSION TAKE PLACE?
During our planning time, I will get to know you and your family. We’ll talk about the things you like to do together, and what types of locations would best fit your style. Most of my family and senior sessions are photographed outdoors at parks, forest preserves, or within a downtown setting.
WHAT IF MY KIDS DON'T WANT TO COOPERATE?
Don’t worry, I’ve got ya covered Mom! The best thing you can do to help make this happen is to relax and let me handle it. I pride myself on taking the time to get to know your family, play, and have fun. During this time I’ll grab the fun candids but also convince your child that they actually like me enough to smile for those perfect shots! After years of doing this, I think I’ve got it down to a science!
WHAT IF IT RAINS ON THE DAY OF OUR SESSION?
CAN I JUST GET THE DIGITAL FILES?
You sure can! I offer 2 collections: The Classic Collection that includes all of the edited digital files PLUS a product credit to spend in your gallery or a digital-only collection.
HOW LONG WILL WE WAIT BEFORE SEEING OUR IMAGES?
