FAQ
How do I book?
Please contact me via email or the contact form here. After discussing your session needs, I will send you a link to book. Booking links are valid for 3 days.
50% of your session fee is due at the time of booking and serves as a non-refundable retainer to hold your spot on my calendar. You will also read and sign my client contract and fill out my client questionnaire.
The remaining 50% of your fee is due one week prior to the session.
Tax and any add-ons will be included with your invoice.
What session is right for me?
Maternity and Children Sessions are short and sweet and end promptly after 45 minutes. These are for solo maternity shoots (mama and her partner) and kid-only sessions (solo child - great for milestones! or siblings).
Family and Newborn Sessions are longer and for the full family. These include family shots, as well as siblings together, and solo images of each child. These sessions allow kids more time to warm up and relax. We will do more interactive, lifestyle shooting and move around a little more at our location for a variety of backdrops. There's time to change a diaper or have a snack. These sessions tell more of a story and give a wider variety of shots. There is no limit to the number of participants, but must be immediate family (ie: no session sharing among friends). Extended families are $100 extra.
Where will my session be?
Upon booking, I will share my favorite locations with you to choose. These are tried and true, where I know the best spots and lighting. All locations will be in the SW metro - Bloomington, Eden Prairie, Edina, Burnsville, Minnapolis. I have a variety of natural and urban settings.
If you would like to book in the Chanhassen studio, there is a $55/hour fee in addition to your session fee. Newborns require a 2 hour minimum, and cake smashes are an additional $20/hour.
If you would like a specific location, there will be a $50 add-on fee so I can scope out the location prior to our session.
How long are the sessions?
Maternity and Children Sessions are a strict 45 minutes. If you would like additional time, you can upgrade to a full session. Payment must be delivered at the time to continue.
Family, Newborn, and Senior Sessions do not have a time limit but generally are 45 minutes to 2 hours. Older kids, couples, and seniors are usually faster. I just take the lead of the clients! Typically babies and young children cannot last much longer than an hour.
Head Shots are 30 minutes per client.
What is included in my price?
Maternity and Children Sessions include 45 minutes of session time and unlimited images in both color and black and white. Generally there are 12-20 quality, stand out images from these sessions.
Family, Newborn, and Senior Sessions include your session time (up to 2 hours, but you do not need to use all 2 hours) and the full gallery of digital images. Depending on the session, this is anywhere from 30-60 quality images in both color and black and white.
Head Shots include a 30 minute, on location session with 3 high resolution, digital images.
All images are presented via a beautiful, password protected online gallery perfect for viewing, sharing, downloading, and purchasing prints.
I offer styling and wardrobe help if needed and have Pinterest pages for inspiration.
All my images are hand edited to my strict requirements. I deliver beauty retouching and artistic enhancements on every image at no additional charge.
Do I have to order prints through you?
I do offer beautiful, archival quality prints from a professional printing company via your gallery. I highly suggest ordering from me, but you are not obligated to do so! Prices are a little higher than typical printers, but worth the cost when you see the color and quality difference! Just click on the 'shopping cart' icon in your gallery to choose and purchase your prints.
You will receive a print release with every session, which allows you unlimited personal printing and usage of your images.
