Q & A

Q: How many images are in the gallery?

A: On average I deliver 50-75 edited images per session via an online digital gallery.

 

Q: do you offer digital files?

A: Yes! Each collection I offer includes a set number of digital files plus a print credit to also get products like fine art prints, books, albums, and wall art! Collections start at $1275.

 

Q: What products do you think we should get?

A: I personally have all the digital files, a linen print box with 4x6 prints, wall art, and an album for each of my kid's newborn sessions. We have used all of them at different times and I think every client should get the same!

Q: Do you offer payment plans?

A: Yes you can start a payment plan as soon as you book so everything is paid for when your session occurs and you earn bonus products! I do not offer post-session payment plans.

 

Q: Do you offer gift certificates?

A: I do offer gift certificates but they must be for the full amount of my bottom collection and I ask that you be 100% sure the receiver wants my style of newborn photos. I'd hate for them to want posed photos and be disappointed in lifestyle.

 

Q: When should I book?

A: My schedule books up quickly. I suggest reserving your session date as soon as possible. Maternity sessions occur between 32-36 weeks and newborn sessions take place at 7-14 days. To reserve your preferred dates please book as soon as you know your due date.
