The FAQ
Do you offer minis?
If I do minis I post it on social media and it's for one specific day with time slots. For this year (2024-2025), I am not offering mini sessions as I'm too busy with weddings and regular sessions and want to put my full effort and time into them.
What should we wear?
Something you feel comfortable in, especially for children. Neutrals are always the best option. Cream colors, tans, light grays, light greens. Reds can sometimes make photos more on the warmer/darker side. If you are unsure please reach out to me or look at my portfolio to see what other people have worn too. Also I love love love an outfit change, and will bring a pop up changing tent if needed. So if you want to do casual and then go all out with a dress or something, I'm here for it!
Do you Travel?
Absolutely! I am based in Madison, NH in the Mount Washington Valley. I'm always looking to travel or go to a destination wedding! There is a travel fee if it's beyond 35 miles from my location or multiple locations that are a distance from each other.
How long have you been doing this?
I have been behind the camera since a child but my business has been official for over a year now!
How many photos do we get?
The amount varies depending on what package you choose.
How do we get our photos?
Your gallery will be posted on my website under the 'client' section. You will get an email with a link to access the gallery when it's ready.
Do you retouch photos?
Lighting, shadows, brighting and all the other edits to make these photos perfect but, there is no photoshopping. If there's random people in the background I will try to edit them out, or a blemish/cut that needs to be removed but not all of this is guaranteed. I can't change make up or your appearance.
What's your turn around time?
You will receive your full gallery within 4 weeks of the session. If you had a surprise engagement during the photo session I will get a couple photos to you asap so you can share with friends & family. Or a pregnancy announcement that you can't wait to post. I will always send a sneak peak of 2-3 photos within a week of the session. Weddings are a 6-8 week turn around time.
How do we book you?
Select contact on the website and fill out an inquirey. I will get back to you as soon as possible. You can also get in touch with me on social media or through email.
Can you help us with planning?
Absolutely! If you don't know what to wear, are surprising someone in the photo or want to bring props just reach out! I love new and fun ideas.
How far out do you book?
I generally need a week or two in advance right now since I am also a stay at home mom. But if you are in a bind please still reach out to me to see if I'm available. I have a very flexible schedule at the moment.
What should we do for an engagement session?
If you are looking to take photos of your engagement please reach out to me. I can let you know what signal I will give so you can pop the question and make sure your partner is fully surprised. I'll also bring the bubbly if you need me to. Love a good surprise!
If you're not available, who do you recommend?
I have a couple local photographers that I love, adore and use myself for my family. Reach out to me and I can send you their contacts.
What if I need to reschedule?
You can absolutely reschedule if need be. You have up to a year to reschedule your session. I am very flexible so please don't hesitate to reach out if something comes up.
How long will the shoot be?
For a regular shoot with couples & families it's usually about 30-45 minutes, I also follow the kids leads. For studio session, it's about an hour with outfit changes as well.
Do you take Boudoir photos?
Absolutely! I am all about this, please reach out. This package will be at a studio cost. I have robes and dresses but you are to provide any lingerie.
Do you have a studio?
I have all the backdrops to set up a space in my home, just check if it's available. I also rent out space in Dover, NH. That price will just be included in your package if you want to book that.
