A.You can actually book a session straight through my booking site below this. Just select your desired session, available date/time, and follow the prompts. If you're not really sure which session is right for you, or have a few more questions, fill out my contact form and I will help you figure it out.

A.Yes, A small deposit holds your date and gets everything officially on the calendar. The rest is due before or on the session date.

A.I send out a pre session guide that has a little bit of styling information, but I am more than happy to give you more personal help, and can even do a little hunting around and send links to the perfect piece if need be. Looking around the site at my work is another great way to get some direction. See a family that's outfit choices really speak to you? Great, use that as the bouncing board or inspiration when styling your own family. Truly, styling is such a big part of what brings the whole story to life and something that I think can get overlooked. So, please, hear me when I say I want to help you select the perfect attire. Don't be afraid to reach out.

A.Most of my sessions, unless otherwise noted for a specific mini session, take place outdoors in public locations. Scouting locations is a big part of what I do, and I have some pretty good hidden places up my sleeve. Once you’re on the calendar, we can choose a spot that fits your family and the vision for your photos. If you already have somewhere specific in mind, you are always welcome to reach out before booking so we can talk through it. Most outdoor public locations are possible. If a location requires a photography permit, like the Fort Worth Botanic Garden, that fee can simply be added to your invoice.

I include locations within 35 miles of my North Richland Hills home base with no additional travel fee. For locations beyond that area, travel is $0.70 per mile after the included 70-mile round trip. Most of the locations featured on my website fall within the included area and do not have a travel fee.

A.Keep it relaxed. Let them move, play, and be themselves. Bring snacks, a favorite small toy if that helps, and honestly, skip the expectation of perfection.

A.I love shooting pets but they do effect a lot of things in the shooting process including the locations we can shoot at. I recommend reaching out before booking with pets so we can make sure we can make all of the pieces fit together.

A.Bad weather happens and it seems to happen more often in the seasons where we take the most family photos. I normally watch the weather ahead of time so if there's bad weather in the forecast we can decide as a team how we want to proceed. Sometimes we decide to wait it out and see if it ends up moving. Sometimes we decide to go ahead and shoot in a drizzle. Sometimes we decide days in advance that we just need to go ahead and reschedule ahead of time. I like to think I am a very reasonable person and have never had a session I couldn't get rescheduled for a date and time that works for everyone.

A.So, I don't do sneak peaks and I don't do proof galleries. I work as quickly as I can to get your gallery to you and when you receive it, it will be completely finished with all the final edits included. The number of included images listed for your session is the minimum that will be delivered. All the extras are yours to keep. I am not in the business of holding peoples pictures hostage or making my clients do the hard work of culling through 300 soft edited images. My typical turn around time is 14 days, and I very rarely have to step outside of that timeframe.

A.It depends on the session type. Minis are tighter and work best with one outfit and immediate family. Full sessions can usually accommodate more people or one outfit change. Let’s plan it together, so it doesn’t feel chaotic.
