What should I wear?

Wear what you want! If your daughter is on a princess kick, let her wear her favorite princess gown. If your husband always wear shorts, let him wear shorts. The important thing is to wear something that feels like comfortable and feels like you.

Oh, and in the home I recommend socks or bare feet.

Where will my photos be taken?

At your home! This is the easiest part, you don’t have to worry about getting everyone ready, in the car and someplace on time. I’ll come to you.

What if my home isn’t beautiful?

Wait. Stop right there. When you go to a beach and search for special pebbles or shells, are you trying to collect ones that all look the same? No. The thing that makes each treasure special is that it looks different from the rest. So if your home doesn’t look “Pinterest perfect” then you’ve come to the right place.

On another note, your house doesn’t have to be spotless “show ready”, but it does help to put away clutter before I come. Or not. You decide.

My toddler might have a tantrum/meltdown. What happens during a documentary photoshoot when real feelings come out?

If your family expresses their feelings, that is normal! If a toddler has a meltdown, I will keep photographing you navigating the situation, but most of the time families enjoy their documentary photoshoot because no one is forcing them to do things they don’t want to. The joy of family documentary photography is that if someone needs a break, wanders off, goes to the bathroom, needs a snack, etc. that’s exactly what you should do.

Please understand that if you are having significant issues with your spouse, documentary photography might not be the best fit.

How and when will I get my photos?

You’ll receive your proofing gallery via online gallery within 7 business days of your photoshoot. You’ll have a week to decide your favorites and once selected you’ll get your finalized images within 2 weeks.

When should I book my shoot?

Contact me as soon as you decide you want me to photograph you! I want to make sure you get your date and the best way to do that is to reach out as early as possible.
