Accommodations and Suggestions
Props and Suggestions
We offer a variety of props that can be used in outdoor sessions. Available props include large frames, small furniture for the little folks, handmade beds for infant sessions, various theme-related props are also available.
If you have ideas or suggestions for your sessions, please feel free to ask about them. We will try to create the images you have in mind.
What To Wear
I always recommend simple and solid. I know we all love prints and some of the cooler logos but when it's time to put photos together, it makes for much nicer photographs if everyone is wearing solid colors.
Depending on the type of photos you are looking for, you can mix and match on the solids. For example, for Spring photos, I would recommend white tops and jeans but you can mix it up and dress the gals in white and the guys in blue or vice versa. Just remember to make sure the colors compliment each other.
If you have a favorite shirt or hoodie with your team logo or favorite brand, feel free to bring it with you and we can do a couple of shots with it as well.
All sessions are allowed and encouraged to bring more than one outfit and multiple accessories. Senior photos are often moved from location to location and I encourage you to bring outfit changes or accessories to fit the locations of your choice.
Maternity and Save the Date Sessions
Maternity and Save the Date Sessions open a plethora of creative ideas!
Props, locations and ideas are the three most important components in these sessions.
I am working on a checklist that will be available for download soon. It is important that we coordinate closely with one another to ensure we capture the ideas you desire. These are photos that will become an important part of your life and will viewed for many years to come. Regrets are not an option :)
Time Limits...No Thank You!
I do not put a time limit on my sessions and I will travel within a reasonable distance without extra fees.
It is my opinion, that by limiting the time allotted for a session, I am limiting both your creativity and mine. I prefer to spend the extra time to create the images you desire rather than have regrets later.
Most outdoor sessions will generate 20 to 30 high resolution images.
Mini Sessions are generally held in one location, although other arrangements can be made. Mini sessions usually generate 5 to 10 high resolution images.
Infants and Young Children
When photographing young children and infants, parents often become nervous, excited and sometimes agitated because the children aren't doing what they would like for them to do. Don't let this bother you, I can promise you that it is normal. And, often times, we are able to capture some of the most adorable images by just letting them be themselves. Their expressions and poses will reflect their true selves and you will enjoy them much more than posed photos, although we will attempt to capture as many poses as you would like.
Weddings
Regardless of the size of your wedding, it is extremely important to ensure that all of the images captured throughout that special day meet with each and every one of your expectations.
With that in mind, it is important to coordinate closely with your photographer and express what you expect and the various images you would like captured on your special day.
In order to ensure that I am able to do so, I am putting together a checklist that we will go over several times before the big day. The form should be available for download soon.
It's a one-time shot, pun intended, and we want to make sure you are as happy with your photos as you were on your big day.
