What should we wear?
I recommend not wearing all white or all black...details get lost with those two colors.

I love to see the personality of the kids or family come out in the photos so wearing
whatever your style is really the best.You want your pictures to reflect as much YOU as possible.


Do you take pictures indoors?
No, most of my sessions take place outdoors in natural light...early morning or dusk is the ideal time.

Newborns sessions can be done at your home or mine and I have a rustic studio on my property for indoor shoots.

Not often but if ask I will consider and the cost usually runs from $500-$2000.
