FAQ's

How far in advance do I need to book my newborn session?

As early as possible, preferably WHILE pregnant! Newborn sessions are best within the first 10 days of birth, because they are the most sleepiest then and are easier to pose. 

 

How far do you travel?

For on-location (outdoor) shoots, I’m really willing to go anywhere, but it MUST be in the city of Tomah. 



How long does it take to get our pictures back?

That depends on the time of year. It can take anywhere from 3-7 days.  I don't like to rush editing images.  But prefer to give each image my individual attention.  



We have a family pet that we would like in our family picture… can we bring them?

For outdoor sessions, I sure do.   But I ask that you keep them well controlled.  And have an idea what to do with them, when we're shooting just "human" shots.  



Do you have a baby plan?

Yes, I do.   They are listed here.



How many photos do you take during the shoot?

When I'm shooting children it seems that my shutter is always going full speed ahead.  I take anywhere from 300-900 photos per session.  That may seem like a lot, but I shuffle through them, and pick ONLY the best for you and your family.  You usually end up with 50 images, sometimes more. 



How long do sessions usually last?

Baby & child sessions typically last 1-1.5 hours, but can also go up to 2 hours. This gives your child time to warm up and also allow for breaks, snacks, outfit changes, etc. I strive to keep sessions laid back and fun so that I can capture the child’s true personality and joy.

Newborn sessions can last up to 3 hours. Newborns often need several breaks for feedings and mommy cuddles, so I am absolutely fine with those needed breaks. I purposefully have cleared my schedule several hours so everyone can relax if the baby gets fussy. It’s not the end of the world if your baby has a half hour meltdown, I’m a very patient person. 



Do you mind if I nurse baby during the shoot?

I do not mind if you nurse your baby during a session.   I have nursed three of my children and I know the bond that is formed when done.  



What type of editing do you do on the photos?

I actually consider editing to be enhancing a photo.  I use Photoshop Elements to enhance my photos.  I can remove a scratch, or a blemish.  

 When I order prints, do they come with your logo on them? 

Your prints will not have my logo on them. Only the photos that are posted Facebook previews will have my name and logo.
