FAQ
when should i book?
This all depends on you, but the sooner the better. Do you want spring, summer, fall photos? All photos outdoors are shot about an hour to hour and a half before sunset. In-Home Sessions are done around morning/midday.
FOR Expectant mommas, Right after your 20 week appointment- schedule it at the 28-32 week mark so you have a bump, but are still feeling comfortable and mobile.
Lastly for Newborns, less than 1 month old would be ideal when they still sleep longer(or at least that's the plan). please keep in touch once your babe is delivered to set final date.
OF course! Typical family Session includes immediate family of 6. Extended family is welcomed with additional cost of $100 per couple/family unit. The Session might take longer to cover more shots for the extended family.
Can we include grandparents or extended family in our session?
i got you, love! i made a welcome guide tha'll help you throughout the process-what to expect, what to wear and more. i have also created a pinterest board to visualize different looks for your upcoming session. my advice, decide your final look before choosing the rest of your fam's wardrobe. it'll be easier that way. you can't go wrong with neutral and earth tone colors. Here are some of my fave stores i recommend:
H&M
ZAra
old navy
vicidolls
Baltic born
marshalls
Alter'D State
Cotton on Kids
PinkBlush
not sure what to wear. How should i style my family?
i totally understand how you feel. all i can tell you is prep hubs way ahead of time. tell him its not about him, but for the kids who'll go back in time to remember this precious moment.
as for our approach for the kiddos, Engage and interact with them. you know them better than anyone else in the world. you know what makes them laugh, giggle, what they enjoy. bring all the cards you have to make them the happiest they can be while i capture that very moment for your family.
what if my kids/hubby are not excited during our shoot?
once you have confirmed your booking, i have a few cool outdoor locations around sussex county i know of, otherwise let me know of any nice locations. i am always looking to try out new locations. Location must be within 30 miles of 07871. Travel fees and Location Permits may apply.
