FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

How far in advance should I book my session

Sessions fill up very quickly so I recommend at least 6 months in advance.

Do you photograph newborns?

Due to limited availability, I am only able to photograph newborns of my existing clients. 

Do you help with posing?

Of course! For high school seniors this is especially important. I will guide and direct you so please don’t be nervous! For families, I will often start with a pose and then direct the pose into something more interactive.

What time of day is best to schedule our session?

If shooting outdoors, the best light is right after sunrise or 90 minutes before sunset. Overcast days allow us much more flexibility with light. Indoor sessions are best if scheduled before 3pm. 

Can I bring my dog to my senior portrait session?

Absolutely! Just plan accordingly and have a driver to take your dog home once the photos are taken.

Where should our session take place?

Your session can take place almost anywhere within 30 miles of Westfield (and further for a travel fee) but I can always give suggestions. Often, familles will use their own home, back yard or nearby park. 

How do we handle inclement weather for our session?

Sessions may have to be rescheduled due to dark skies, rain or other hazardous weather conditions.

Will you touch up blemishes in my photos?

Absolutely. All images will be fully edited and retouched.

Where should I print my photos?

You can print your photos directly through your photo gallery, which partners with a professional photo lab. If you prefer to print on your own, Mpix.com is hands down the best consumer photo lab—and it’s owned by a professional lab. I will upload your photos to their site for you to save you the hassle.

Please avoid printing at kiosks or labs like Walgreens, Walmart, Shutterfly, etc., as the results typically won’t reflect professional quality. It’s truly only pennies more per print to use Mpix.

Can I make payments toward my session balance?

Absolutely. Just let me know ahead of time so we can make arrangements. 

Do you have any other tips that might be helpful to prepare for our family photo session?

I sure do! In fact, I have a two part blog post dedicated to this topic. Go to my blog and read my tips for a successful family photo session.
