I will be 15 to 20 minutes early as your photographer

Please make sure everyone in your party arrives on time to ensure that we get the images you would like to capture.

Children do not always smile and are unpredictable

I fully believe in not forcing your child to perform in order to get the desired image. Typically, this will result in tears and unhappy faces. Let you child warm up to me and the area where we'll be taking your photographs. You can also bring someone who is not part of the photo session that can help with achieving smiles and allowing kids a break while we continue on with your session. I am a child led photographer and have found it best to follow their lead. 

Clothing choices and preparation

I will assist in anyway I can. Please sure to have alternatives in case there is accident day of. Photoshopping out wrinkles, spills, accidents, and/or changing color of garments will cost extra.

In my years of being a professional photographer, I have experienced unrealistic expectations as photography and editing become more common. The addition of AI is adding to the pressure of picture perfection. I am one person and have dedicated many years to learning photography so that I can produce images that you will treasure for the rest of your life.

Please know there is only so much I can control but the rest is up to you.
