Frequently Asked Questions

AM I ABLE TO PRINT MY OWN IMAGES?

Yes! The contract you will sign upon booking will include rights to print your own images whenever and wherever you like.

HOW MUCH DO I NEED TO PUT DOWN AS DEPOSIT TO SCHEDULE MY SESSION?

A $50 deposit is required to book a full session. This deposit will be applied towards your final invoice even in the event of rescheduling, but will be non-refundable in the event that you cancel the session.

WHAT FORMS OF PAYMENT DO YOU ACCEPT?

I accept credit cards and bank transfers (ACH). Invoices will be sent via email with a link to make payments.

WHAT IF IT'S RAINING DURING MY SESSION DATE?

Since we can't control the weather, we'll always need to work around it. If it looks like it's going to be raining or dark and cloudy on the day of your session, I will reach out to you and we can find a new date and time that works for both of us.

WHAT TIME DO SESSIONS TAKE PLACE?

Outdoor sessions take place two hours before sunset, or even two hours after sunrise. This ensures we get the best lighting.

WHAT ARE YOUR FAVORITE LOCATIONS TO SHOOT?

The beach, field/wooded areas, downtown Holland, or anywhere you'd like! I do have some favorite locations that I know work well, and we can discuss those when scheduling your session.

WHEN IS THE BEST TIME TO BOOK MY MATERINTY SESSION?

32-36 weeks is typically the best time to capture your beautiful bump.

MY KIDS WON'T LAST VERY LONG, HOW LONG ARE THE FAMILY SESSIONS?

My family sessions range from a 30-60 minutes. I do recommend to plan for at least an hour so that we aren't rushed. This will allow time for breaks for the kids where we can capture some candids.

WHAT HAPPENS IF MY KIDS DON'T COOPERATE?

Since I'm a mom of three, I know all too well that sometimes kids don't enjoy having their pictures taken! So, we'll work the session mostly around them - if they aren't wanting to sit with the family or pose, we'll let them play, hug, or even just walk around while I photograph their natural smiles.

DO YOU OFFER MINI SESSIONS?

Yes, a few times a year I hold mini session events for those who may not want or need a full session. The event details are posted both on social media and on my website, and will be booked on a first-come first-served basis.
