CLIENT LOVE
Get Started with Your Booking
Love what you see? If we are within your budget, we would love to discuss details and explore potential options for your session. Please fill out the form below to tell us more about your portrait needs and preferences, and we'll be in touch soon.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
We recommend booking your Maternity session during your second trimester and scheduling your Newborn session within the first 5 to 14 days after birth. During this time, newborns tend to sleep more soundly and curl up naturally into those sweet positions. Early booking also allows us to discuss and plan the details more in depth, from outfits to specific themes and poses.
-
To secure your session, a 50% nonrefundable retainer is required at booking to secure your spot on our calendar. The remaining balance is due three days prior to your session. We offer various payment options, including credit cards and checks, for your convenience. Our pricing is transparent, and we ensure that you are well-informed about your investment in these irreplaceable memories.
-
Absolutely! Our pricing reflects the professional expertise, quality equipment, and personalized experience we offer. We have a range of products starting at $29 for Gift Prints to packages starting at $799.
While we offer a wide range of products, from gift prints to luxurious fine art pieces, please note that there's no obligation to order beyond what you want. Although gift prints have a minimum order of ten, there is no mandatory minimum spend for your order overall.
-
We understand that weather can be unpredictable, especially for outdoor sessions. We offer flexible rescheduling options and closely monitor weather forecasts.
Sometimes, a change in weather can offer a unique backdrop for your portraits. If you're open to it, we can discuss utilizing the weather conditions creatively to capture some truly unique images.
We maintain clear communication with you, ensuring you're informed and comfortable with any adjustments made due to weather conditions.
-
About two weeks after your session, we invite you to join us at our studio for a portrait viewing. The session begins with a presentation of three standout moments enhanced with our signature style. This is your opportunity to select your favorite photos, and we’ll be there to guide you in choosing the perfect ways to display them.
Following your portrait viewing, we place your order that same night, securing the pricing for you. While we offer a wide range of products, from gift prints to luxurious fine art pieces, please note that there's no obligation to order beyond what you want. Although gift prints have a minimum order of ten, there is no mandatory minimum spend for your order overall.
You will then have a full 30 days to make your selections for each product. After finalizing your order (which includes submission of order forms, approval of proofs, and payment of invoices), prints will be ready for pickup or delivery within 2-4 weeks, subject to our current workload and lab processing times. We'll be in touch to coordinate the pickup or delivery details.
For local clients within a 50-mile radius of our studio, we offer complimentary pickup or personal delivery of your portraits. For clients outside this radius, we provide personal delivery at a standard rate, and various shipping options are available depending on your location. Digital images will be accessible via an online gallery after you've received and approved the physical prints.
