frequently asked questions
I know planning a photography session can come with questions, from timing and wardrobe to newborn tips and session details. I’ve put together answers to the questions I hear most often so you can feel confident, prepared and excited for your session.
If you don’t see your question here, please reach out, I’d love to help you feel completely comfortable and ready to capture this special season of your life.
Are the travel expenses included in your packages?
Travel within Snohomish County is included in all packages. For sessions outside this area, a small travel fee may apply to cover mileage, time, and any additional expenses. I’ll always provide a clear quote before booking so there are no surprises!
what happens if it rains and we need to reschedule?
Life happens! If the weather isn’t cooperating, I’m happy to reschedule your session at no extra cost. We’ll work together to find a new date that fits your schedule and still gives you the beautiful photos you’re dreaming of. For indoor sessions, we can often stick to the original date, rain or shine!
Can I customize a photography package to fit all my needs?
Absolutely! I believe every session should be as unique as the people in front of my camera. We can adjust session length, locations, outfit changes, and add-ons to create a package that perfectly fits your vision. Just let me know what you’re dreaming up and we’ll design something that’s just right for you.
How long does it take to receive the final photos?
You'll receive sneak peeks within 72 hours. My typical turnaround time for a full gallery is two-three weeks from your session date. I carefully hand edit each image to ensure they’re beautiful and true to your story. I’ll always keep you updated on the progress or should there be any hiccups.
When is the best time to book my session?
I recommend booking early to secure your preferred date, especially for maternity and newborn sessions. For maternity, the ideal window is around 28–36 weeks and for newborns, the sweet spot is within the first 10–14 days after birth, but up to three months of age is totally okay.
Family and motherhood sessions can be scheduled any time, just give yourself enough notice so we can capture your story without stress.
what should i wear for our session?
Choose outfits that feel comfortable and true to your family’s style. Neutral tones and soft textures work beautifully on camera, but the most important thing is that you feel like yourselves. Coordinating colors rather than matching exactly often looks the most natural. Avoid busy patterns or logos that draw attention away from your connection.
WHAT IF MY child IS upset DURING OUR SESSION?
Kids are unpredictable and that’s perfectly okay! I’m experienced in working around feeding, sleeping, moods and high energy. We take things slow and gentle, pausing as needed and following your kiddos lead. My priority is keeping your child calm and comfortable, those real, tender moments often become the most cherished images.
How far in advance should i book my newborn session?
Newborn sessions are in high demand, so I recommend booking as soon as you know your due date. We can reschedule and adjust as needed based on babies arrival. This ensures we can capture those precious first few weeks when they are still sleepy and fresh, perfect for newborn photography.
