Where are you located?
My studio is located in Fairview, NC. Just 10 minutes outside of Asheville, NC.
How do I book a session?
First, I recommend that you look over my website and social medial accounts to see if my style matches the style of images that you would like to purchase. Then, you can contact me via my contact page. If we seem like a good fit for each other, I will send an invoice, contract and questionnaire. Once these are completed, your session will be confirmed on my calendar.
Do you offer payment plans?
Yes! I am happy to spread the cost of your sessions out over several months.
What type of sessions do you photograph?
I am a Motherhood Photographer. My focus is on Maternity, Newborn and fist year Milestone Sessions.
I am not currently photographing events, weddings, parties or extended family sessions.
When should I book my Newborn Session?
I recommend booking your Newborn Session as early in your pregnancy as you feel comfortable. I cannot always accommodate last minute inquiries that come in after a baby is already born.
How can I book a date when my baby has not arrived yet?
Once your session is booked, your due date is placed on my calendar and you are guaranteed a session within 16 days of the arrival of your baby, even if they arrive early or late.
What is the best age to photograph my newborn?
I recommend scheduling your session when your baby is 5-16 days old. As they approach three weeks old, the chances that they will be cluster feeding during our session increase which lengthens the session duration. However, I am happy to schedule your newborn session at whatever age is your preference. I am happy to take as many feed breaks as are needed!
How long will my session last?
A newborn session will generally last 1.5-2.5 hours. A maternity or milestone session lasts around 30-45 minutes. A mini session lasts around 20-30 minutes.
What should we wear?
My style lends itself to warm neutral colors. To make styling your session as easy as possible, I offer an extensive Studio Wardrobe with beautiful dresses as well as baby and children's options. Newborns are not dressed for the session, they will be wrapped and swaddled in the pictures. I recommend that dad wears something plain, no patterns or logos, in a warm neutral like ivory, tan, brown or copper.
What if I can't keep my appointment?
Your session fee is non-refundable. However, I understand that life is unpredictable and sometimes circumstances beyond our control come up. If you or your child(ren) become ill, we will definitely reschedule your session. I want you all to be feeling wonderful for your session! Should you be unable to keep your appointment for another reason, please contact me as soon as possible and we will reschedule if possible. If it is not possible to reschedule, session fee refunds will be issued on a case-by-case basis.
How many family members can I bring?
Your immediate family is welcome to participate in the session. Any additional family (grandparents, aunts, uncles, etc...) may incur an additional fee. Please contact me for more information.
When will I see the photos?
Your images will be edited within 14 days of your session. You will be emailed a link to a password protected online gallery. You will be able to view your images and place your order online from the comfort of your home.
Can I print the photos myself?
All Packages include a digital download of your pictures as well as a Print Release giving you written permission to print the pictures. I strongly suggest purchasing professional prints from your gallery to ensure quality.
How can I pay?
You will have the ability to pay for your session fee and your package from your home with a credit or debit card. If you would prefer to pay by check, let me know and I will provide you with an address.
