Great! Contact me to ask any questions you have about booking a session. I usually do this over email, but I’m happy to chat with you on the phone, Zoom, or meet up at a coffee shop to get to know each other.

Let’s get you on the calendar! I’ll send a contract, model release, and questionnaire. You’ll also receive an invoice which includes a deposit to reserve your date. Once everything is complete you are booked!

You pretty much go about your day as usual! I’m like a family friend who is hanging out with you for the day and just happens to be taking photos. I very much go with your flow. Sometimes we’ll chat, sometimes I’ll be a fly on the wall. If you’ve booked me to take newborn photos, there will be some more posing, mostly consisting of your baby showing off their cuteness. For other sessions we might spend a couple minutes doing some posed family photos, but that’s it.

Depending on the length of your session, there might be some downtime, which is totally normal. I’d recommend just having some sort of schedule in mind, and making sure you do some things together as a family, even if it’s really laid back. Think: baking, reading, gardening, snuggling, even wrestling, whatever gets you interacting.

Your family is perfect and your home is perfect AS IS! It’s okay that the house is a mess and that the kids misbehave or take longer to warm up. There’s no judgment. And that’s the beauty of documentary photography. This is who you are.
