Frequently asked questions

I’m super awkward and un-photogenic - what can I do?

Nonsense! Trust us when we say that everyone feels far more awkward in front of the camera than they actually are, but we understand your apprehension. Take a deep breath, try to relax, and trust that we’ll move you through poses that are most flattering. And p.s., everyone is photogenic!

How far into my pregnancy should I book my Maternity Session? 

Firstly - congratulations, what an exciting time! It’s never too early to reach out for a Maternity Session, but most are typically scheduled between 32 - 35 weeks. At this stage in your pregnancy, you’ve likely popped a cute bump and are still feeling pretty good. This said, we've captured maternity sessions anywhere from first trimester early stages right to up to the actual due date! No Kidding! Ultimately, listen to your body and think of when you’re going to feel your best. 

I really want to do a family session, but worry about whether my kids can handle it!

We’ve photographed thousands of families, and have experience with children of all ages and abilities. Sometimes kids just need a few minutes to get the wiggles out, be sure to let us know about any sensitivities we should be aware of before your session. If you have a child who needs front-loading, we are more than happy to assist in understanding what they can expect to happen.

What should I wear?  

A primary concern for most people, follow these do’s and don’ts for successful wardrobe planning! 

DO wear something that you feel most like yourself in.
DO think in terms of colours that coordinate well - but this doesn’t have to be too ‘matchy-matchy’.
DO wear slightly more makeup than you might normally to avoid looking washed out.
DON’T wear competing colours and patterns - paisley, polkadots, and plaid all in one image is overwhelming on the eye! 
DON’T have seasonal confusion! If someone is in a summer dress and the other in a jacket and boots your images won’t feel cohesive.
DON’T be afraid to ask for advice or suggestions!

What if I need to reschedule my Portrait Session?

Life happens, we get it. We offer a one-time penalty free reschedule for portrait sessions. Whenever possible, I kindly ask that 24 hours notice be provided should the need to reschedule arise by contacting us via email or on our emergency line.
