I don't expect you to deep clean all your rooms for us to photograph in your home. Trust me, I live with three littles, my house is never fully clean.

All I ask is to clear maybe two rooms. A nursery, a master bedroom, kitchen or living room. Any place with lots of windows or doors with light streaming in. 

You leave the magic making to me. :)

Mine either, babe.

what if your home isn't aesthetic?

Common Qs and As:

I have a question...

Yes, you are welcome to print the images on your own. If you do this, I recommend making sure that the printer does not color correct the images (many automatically do this.) While 10 cent prints sound great in theory, the cheaper printing quality often won’t do your images justice. Paper quality, color correction and a handful of other factors play a big role in the way your prints turn out.

This is one of the reasons why I LOVE offering prints to my clients. If you purchase prints straight from your gallery, you can be rest assured the integrity of your images will be preserved.

A:

CAN I PRINT THE IMAGES ON MY OWN?

q:

I do include a travel fee on to any session outside of a 25 mile radius (round-trip) from my home in Hedgesville, West Virginia. Fees vary depending on location so ask me for more details. 

A:

When do you charge travel fees for sessions?

q:

While I don’t give the exact same number of images for every session,  I will make sure I capture your family thoroughly. Most families should expect to receive at least 25 edited images following their session with the option to purchase additional digitals at a cost set by the photographer.

A:

How many images will we receive?

q:

Fantastic! To book your session, I'll need a completed contract and at least a 50% retainer to save your date. All contracts and invoices are handled online so you can be gloriously paper-free!

A:

We love your work and want to book. What is the next step?

q:

A:

q:

I typically plan about 60 minutes for sessions. While I likely don’t need to be shooting this entire time, this does give us the flexibility for location changes, rowdy kids and time to warm up. 

A:

HOW LONG SHOULD WE PLAN FOR THE SESSION TO TAKE?

q:

You are absolutely welcome to share images on social media. To ensure that my work is properly represented, I ask that you refrain from any edits. I also appreciate image credits and tags as they help me meet more great clients like YOU. :)

A:

CAN I SHARE THE IMAGES ON SOCIAL MEDIA? 

q:

I do light retouching on all of my images. This means that if there are any glaring objects that should be removed (such as a bump from the tumble your toddler took that morning,) I'll remove it. Larger edits (such as removing tan lines,) require more time and would require me to add additional editing hours to your collection.  

A:

WILL YOU RETOUCH OUR IMAGES?

q:

By default, the creators of images always own the rights to the images. However I'll give you a release to use, print and share your images. The only thing you won’t be able to do is sell your image as a stock photo. I won’t do this either without your written permission.
