FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What kind of photographer are you?

I specialize in what is known as “Lifestyle” photography. Lifestyle photography sits comfortably between traditional portrait photography and un-posed documentary photography. My method is to pose lightly, then prompt my clients. The result is very natural and comfortable posing that is true to the person that I photograph. For example, I may ask you to pick up your baby and then I will make slight adjustments- this way the memories of how you held your baby are preserved, but the photos come out in a flattering way. I only photograph newborn, family, maternity, and children’s fine art portraits- so I have a ton of experience working with youngsters.

Where will my session be held?

I am a natural light, on location photographer, in other words I don’t have a brick and mortar studio. Together we will decide on the best location for your session- Somewhere outdoors in beautiful Spokane, or in the comfort of your home. Newborn sessions occur in your home only, I do not do outdoor or studio newborn work- this is a concierge service.

When do newborn sessions occur?

I believe the most ideal time for newborn photos is within the first 5 days, but this isn’t always possible so within the first month is what I recommend to preserve as many newborn details as possible.

What should I wear?

I tell everyone to keep this simple, true to you, and choose earthy, muted or neutral colors. I offer a little style guide to everyone who books with me and personalized style coaching for those who want it. After booking, I open myself up to you for session planning, we can text pictures and outfit links to find the perfect look for your photos.

Will I get digital images after the shoot?

I understand the importance of family photographs that can be enjoyed for a lifetime and passed down for generations. I offer one simple, all-inclusive collection of images from your session. You will get the edited, digital, high resolution jpeg image files to be downloaded, shared, or printed. I provide a minimum of 75 images for all sessions except for children’s fine art portraits and extended family sessions.

When, how and where can I get additional prints and products?

When you receive your online gallery invitation, you will be able to download your images and you can order prints directly from me. The gallery is active for 30 days, so be sure to download and/or order your print images as soon as possible. I do try to keep an archive of photos, so if I took your photos a while ago, chances are I still have them and can order prints, just ask me.

How do you choose which images we get from our session?

I carefully examine each image from the session and select the images that best represent your unique family and my artistic style. I present you with a minimum of 75 images (with the exceptions mentioned above), but there are often many more images included in your gallery, because I don’t like to withhold your memories. If I deliver it, it’s yours. No picking and choosing or upselling, I believe in transparency.

How far out are you booked?

I typically book out one to three months in advance. Please consider booking while you are in your second trimester of pregnancy for maternity and newborn photos, in order to have the best chance at having a session time . Already delivered? No problem, I try to maintain space in my schedule for last minute newborn bookings! Babies come when they want to come, so I try to accommodate that.

Do you offer mini sessions?

Very rarely. I don’t offer mini sessions for family photos, maternity or newborns. I prefer a much more personalized and connected experience with my people. I do not like time constraints.

How much does this all cost?

My sessions begin at $750 and go up from there depending on the session and/or package selected. My sessions include a minimum of 75 edited, digital images, a complimentary album and some other supplemental services. I provide the option to purchase boutique quality print products with each session. I’m happy to provide a current print price sheet to those who inquire.
